Description
What Happened
We use pest in a new project and we are somewhat irritated. In the metrics at the end, there are different values been reported, when we compare with and without --parallel .
I would assume that these numbers should match exactly.
How to Reproduce
Run tests twice, with and without --parallel:
/app# ./vendor/bin/pest | grep -A5 'Tests:'
Tests: 2 deprecated, 1 skipped, 821 passed (2073 assertions)
Duration: 4.85s
/app# ./vendor/bin/pest --parallel | grep -A5 'Tests:'
Tests: 1 skipped, 455 passed (2073 assertions)
Duration: 4.11s
Parallel: 7 processes

Research direction
Start by running the two commands from the report on Pest 4.3.2 and compare the final test summaries. Trace where the normal and --parallel runs assemble their counts, then ensure skipped, deprecated, passed, and assertion totals are reported consistently; rerun both commands to confirm matching results.
