Thanks for reviewing this PR — your work on pytest-xdist is really appreciated! 🙏

Summary

This PR fixes #1249, where enabling log_cli=true caused verbose per-test output instead of the expected dots progress style during parallel test runs.

What’s Changed

  • Automatically toggles log_cli depending on whether xdist is active:
    • Without xdistlog_cli=True (live logs enabled)
    • With xdistlog_cli=False (dots progress restored)
  • Adds an optional --force-log-cli flag to manually override this behavior for debugging.

How to Test

Run:

pytest            # shows live logs
pytest -n 4       # shows dots progress
pytest -n 4 --force-log-cli   # shows live logs again
Fix issue where enabling log_cli caused verbose progress in xdist runs by toggling it automatically based on mode.

@Prasoon31Pandey I have the feeling that you have a surface level understanding of what you do here at best (as you first opened 2 java PR in a python repo) and that you're now asking us to review AI generated code. Please don't do that.
