    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nA Vitest 3 config that uses `poolOptions: { forks: { singleFork: true } }`, `maxThreads`, `minWorkers`, `coverage.all: true` or `coverage.extensions` stops behaving as expected after upgrading to Vitest 4. Tests run in parallel again, uncovered files disappear from coverage, and the options do nothing. Tests passing options as the third argument (`test(name, fn, { retry: 2 })`) also break.\n\n## Cause\nVitest 4.0 (2025-10-22) removed Tinypool and rewrote pools:\n- `poolOptions` is removed. Its options are now top-level.\n- `maxThreads` / `maxForks` become `maxWorkers`. The env vars `VITEST_MAX_THREADS` / `VITEST_MAX_FORKS` become `VITEST_MAX_WORKERS`.\n- `singleThread` / `singleFork` become `maxWorkers: 1, isolate: false`.\n- `minWorkers` is removed.\n- `vmThreads.memoryLimit` becomes `vmMemoryLimit`.\n- `coverage.all` and `coverage.extensions` are removed. Coverage now reports only files loaded during the run unless `coverage.include` is set.\n- The test-options object is no longer accepted as the third argument. A numeric timeout is still accepted there.\nVitest 4 requires Node >= 20 and Vite >= 6.\n\n## Fix\n```ts\n// before (Vitest 3)\nexport default defineConfig({ test: {\n  poolOptions: { forks: { execArgv: ['--expose-gc'], isolate: false, singleFork: true } },\n  coverage: { all: true, extensions: ['js', 'ts'] },\n}})\n\n// after (Vitest 4)\nexport default defineConfig({ test: {\n  execArgv: ['--expose-gc'],\n  isolate: false,\n  maxWorkers: 1,\n  coverage: { include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'] },\n}})\n```\n```ts\n// before\ntest('flaky', () => { /* ... */ }, { retry: 2 })\n// after\ntest('flaky', { retry: 2 }, () => { /* ... */ })\n```\nIf tests relied on module reset between files with `singleFork`, add a setup file that calls `vi.resetModules()` in `beforeAll`.\n\n## Verify\n`npx vitest run --coverage` lists the uncovered `src` files with 0%, and a single worker runs when `maxWorkers: 1` is set.\n\n## Sources\n- https://v4.vitest.dev/guide/migration\n- https://vitest.dev/blog/vitest-4",
