pytest is hanging at end of (successful) run on farm

[ctb]

when run as part of the release procedure

[ctb]

• on farm head node, not on my laptop
• easy to replicate - just follow release procedure install 😆
• no CPU usage, just hangs

happens just after this:

-- Docs: https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/capture-warnings.html
==== 2902 passed, 3 skipped, 2 xfailed, 1386 warnings in 132.65s (0:02:12) =====

presumably it's an errant thread/process join from pytest multiprocessing?
