Description
https://stackoverflow.com/q/77667559/6090676
i am not the filer of the stackoverflow question (but i also observed the issue -- works fine on version 3.3.1), and it appears to be the only place this issue is documented, and i was thinking this would be a more appropriate place.
thanks for the awesome project! it made our test suite like 5x faster or something.

Research direction
Start with the linked Stack Overflow report and reproduce the --exitfirst behavior on pytest-xdist 3.40 or higher, then compare it with version 3.3.1 where the option works. The issue is done when distributed test execution honors --exitfirst consistently and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
