Configuring nextest

Nextest has two kinds of configuration:

• Repository configuration is stored in .config/nextest.toml at the workspace root. Repository configuration controls test execution behavior: profiles, retries, timeouts, test groups, per-test overrides, and more. Repository config is checked into version control and shared across all users of a project.

• User configuration is stored in ~/.config/nextest/config.toml (or the platform-appropriate equivalent). It controls personal preferences like UI settings, progress display, and run recording. User config is specific to each user.
