-Tests run on ports 10501+ (xdist worker offset) with a per-worker tempfile SQLite DB and a per-worker `DEVPLACE_DATA_DIR` (both keyed off `_xdist_port()`), and `DEVPLACE_DISABLE_SERVICES=1` so background services don't start. `make test` runs in parallel via pytest-xdist (`-n auto --dist loadfile`): each worker is one isolated DB + data dir + uvicorn subprocess + Chromium, and `loadfile` pins all tests in a file to one worker so session fixtures (`seeded_db`) and intra-file ordering hold. Override worker count with `make test TEST_WORKERS=4` (default `auto` = one per core); use `make test-serial` for single-process debugging.
