Description

Hello everyone!
I am using Terstrail plugin to report.
So I need to know the list of test cases collected when calling pytest_collection_modifyitems on each node.
Do you know how I can know this?
Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reading the pytest_collection_modifyitems hook and the pytest-xdist master/worker communication path. Trace what collection data remains available after the hook runs on each worker and whether an existing API exposes it to the master. Done means the supported approach, or the missing capability and its scope, is clearly documented.
