Pytest 8.4.0 breaking core test build summary

[zm711]

Pytest 8.4.0 just released today and now the core test build summary is broken. I haven't found what in the changelog has been altered to lead to this break. copying error below for us:

@h-mayorquin did you write this summary? Or was it someone else? We could always limit pytest for now. I'll open a PR, but if you want to make a more permanent solution that would be good.

I wrote the summary, I can take a look but let's pin the test in the meanwhile. It is not like we want to use any of the new features as soon as possible.

I'll leave this open while we wait for a long-term fix. We can close when we release the pytest limit.
