+### Subprocess RPC startup handshake (py_func / lua_func / eval_proc)
+
+The parent ↔ subprocess JSON-RPC link runs over a localhost TCP socket. The **subprocess** owns the port: it binds `port 0` (OS-assigned), `listen()`s, then prints `__TESTIUM_RPC_PORT__=<port>` on stdout (constant `RPC_PORT_SENTINEL` in `runtime/jrpc.py`). The parent reads that line (`proc_drain.drain_and_read_port` + `wait_for_port`, deadline `gd("proc_start_timeout", 30)`) and only *then* connects — the server is guaranteed to be listening, so the connect succeeds on the first attempt.
+
+This replaced the previous fragile scheme (parent reserved a port via `bind(0)`+close, child re-bound the same port, parent connected on a timing guess) which broke intermittently on Windows: cold-start/antivirus variance pushed the worker past the connect deadline, and `connect()` to a not-yet-listening localhost port *times out* (≈1 s) instead of refusing, exhausting the retry budget. Notes:
+- The server no longer sets `SO_REUSEADDR` (a fresh ephemeral port needs no TIME_WAIT override; on Windows it would enable port hijacking).
+- `JsonRpcBase.wait_ready()` always settles (event set on success **and** failure) and returns the actual connection outcome — a connect failure no longer hangs a `wait_ready()` caller.
+- Non-sentinel subprocess stdout/stderr is still forwarded to the parent log (early-startup errors stay visible).

+## Test-tree search (GUI)
+
+A find bar (Ctrl+F) over the `QTestTree` (`src/testium/main_win/test_tree.py`) highlights matching items and navigates them (Enter / ◂ ▸), with **Name / Type / Doc** checkboxes choosing which fields are searched. Ctrl+F toggles the bar (clearing the highlight); Esc / ✕ close it. The bar (`MainWindow._build_search_bar`, `testium_win.py`) is persistent and reset on each file load (`_reset_search`, called from `test_file_manager`).
+
+- `QTestTree.search(text, fields)` / `clear_search()` run a **single pass wrapped in `blockSignals(True)`**: `setBackground` emits `itemChanged`, wired to `on_testChecked` (a per-item controller round-trip) — without blocking, searching storms the controller (100 % CPU / freeze) and corrupts the check-state. It expands the ancestors of each match and returns matches in **visual (pre-order)** order for navigation.
+- `QTestTreeItem._refresh_highlight()` is the single source of truth for the name-column colours: the **search** highlight (pastel amber bg + forced black text, readable in light *and* dark themes) and the green **run** highlight (`setHighlighted`) are recomputed from state flags with precedence **run > search > default**. No brush is saved/restored, so the two layers never leave a stale/permanent colour when they overlap (e.g. searching while a test runs).

 ### `run` item
 `src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_run.py` — launches a `.tum` file in a new testium instance (`-b` in batch mode, `-r` in GUI mode). Result:
 - **PASS** if the sub-instance launched and ran to completion (exit code is ignored)
@@ -194,6 +210,20 @@ The sub-test's own pass/fail result is intentionally not propagated.
 
 The interpreter and entry point used to spawn the sub-instance are picked automatically by `_testium_launch_cmd()` based on how the parent was started (AppImage → `$APPIMAGE`; Flatpak → `flatpak run`; PyInstaller → the frozen binary; source/wheel → `[sys.executable, abspath(sys.argv[0])]`). The user cannot override either via the YAML — selecting a different testium binary or Python from a sub-test was removed because it was either ill-defined (bundle modes have no separable Python) or could mismatch the parent's environment in surprising ways.
 
+### `pytest` item
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_pytest.py` — the pytest analogue of the `unittest` item: runs a user pytest file and surfaces every collected test as a child item (one PASS/FAIL/SKIP per test, with duration + failure message in the report).
+
+Unlike `unittest` (which runs in-process), pytest runs in a **subprocess on the host interpreter** (`bins.python_bin()`), like `py_func`/`lua_func` — so the user's pytest install and test dependencies live on the host and the item works across every packaging channel (incl. Flatpak via the same staging used by `py_func`).
+
+- A stdlib-only pytest plugin (`_PLUGIN_SOURCE`, written to a temp dir and loaded with `-p`) streams sentinel-prefixed lines back over the subprocess stdout: `__TESTIUM_PYTEST_COLLECTED__` (node-id list, at collection), `__TESTIUM_PYTEST_START__` / `__TESTIUM_PYTEST_RESULT__` (per test). The parent parses them live; non-sentinel lines are forwarded to the log.
+- `load()` runs `pytest --collect-only` once to build the child tree; `execute()` runs the enabled node-ids once and maps results back by node-id.
+- pytest is invoked with `--capture=no` (so plugin sentinels + test prints reach our pipe), `-o addopts=` (neutralise user addopts — xdist/cov would break the per-test hook parsing), `-p no:cacheprovider`. `stop_on_failure` → `-x`; disabled children → NORUN without running.
+- Params: `test_file` (required), `test_method` (optional list of function names, matched against the node-id function segment with the parametrisation suffix stripped). Registered as `cst.TYPE_PYTEST` / `TYPE_PYTEST_STEP`, loaded via the same self-loading branch as `unittest` in `test_set.load_test_recursively`.
+- `load()` raises on a collection problem (pytest not installed → a dedicated "pip install pytest" message; bad file / unknown `test_method`). That raise is handled by the **Graceful item load** path below — a warning at load and a clean FAIL at run, never a crash.
+
+### Graceful item load
+A self-loading item whose `load()` fails (a `unittest` test file importing a missing module, `pytest` not installed on the host, …) must not abort the **whole** test load. `TestSet._load_item()` wraps the `load()` call: on any exception it emits `tm.print_warn(...)` and stores the reason in `item._load_error` instead of propagating. The `@test_run` wrapper (`test_item.py`) turns a non-None `_load_error` into a clean run-time `FAILURE` (the message is printed once by `write_footer`), so the rest of the campaign still loads and runs. Scoped to the self-loading, module-loading items (`unittest`, `pytest`); structural action loading (`console`/`plot`/`json_rpc`) stays fail-fast at load.

 ### Report exporters & plugins
 `src/testium/interpreter/test_report/test_report.py` — `_EXPORTER_REGISTRY` dict maps a format name (cmd key in the YAML `report.export`) to a lazy loader. Built-ins: `text`, `json`, `junit` (needs `junit_xml`), `html` (needs `lxml`). `sqlite` is the storage layer, no-op as an export.

+to inherit**, so every console subprocess it spawns (the `py_func`/`lua_func` host
+Python bridges — the otherwise-permanent window — plus the `where`/`which`/`--version`
+probes) opens its **own** console window. `paths.no_window_kwargs()` returns
+`{"creationflags": CREATE_NO_WINDOW}` on a frozen Windows build (and `{}` everywhere
+else, so the **wheel/source** keeps its console and child output stays visible). It is
+applied at every spawn site: `py_process.py`, `lua_process.py`, `bins._run_probe`,
+`paths.sys_app_path_win`. `termconsole.py` is intentionally exempt (it already hides
+`cmd.exe` via `STARTUPINFO`).

 ### Declarative test item parameters
 
 Each `TestItem` subclass declares its accepted parameters as a class attribute `PARAMS = ParamSet(Param(...), ...)` (`interpreter/utils/param_decl.py`). The descriptor carries the parameter name, *kind* (`SCALAR` — the default and may be omitted; `LIST`; `BLOCK`; `Enum("a", "b", ...)`), `required` flag, `default`, and free-form `doc`. There is **no Python type** in the descriptor on purpose: most parameter values are expressions (`$(...)` / `<| ... |>`) whose effective type is only known after expansion, so a static type would be misleading. Post-expansion `validate=lambda v: ...` callbacks are available as an opt-in for the rare cases where a runtime check is warranted (e.g. a specific format).

 Both Flatpak and AppImage export `TESTIUM_VERSION` from a launcher (Flatpak: launcher script in `org.testium.Testium.yaml`; AppImage: `runtime.env` in `AppImageBuilder.yml`). `get_testium_version()` checks `/.flatpak-info` / `APPIMAGE` and reads `TESTIUM_VERSION` rather than relying on package metadata or repo introspection.
 
 ## Recent fixes / notable changes
+- Test-tree search (GUI): a Ctrl+F find bar highlights + navigates matching items, with Name/Type/Doc field checkboxes. Search modifications run under `blockSignals` (else `setBackground`→`itemChanged`→`on_testChecked` storms the controller), and the search/run highlights share one flag-driven `_refresh_highlight()` (run > search > default) so overlapping layers never leave a stale colour. See "## Test-tree search (GUI)".
+- `pytest` item: pytest analogue of `unittest`, but runs on the **host interpreter in a subprocess** (`bins.python_bin()`, like `py_func`) so it works across every packaging channel. A stdlib-only pytest plugin streams collected node-ids + per-test results back over stdout via sentinels; each test becomes a child item with its own PASS/FAIL/SKIP, duration and failure message. Params: `test_file`, `test_method`. Validation item: `test/validation/items/pytest/` (the validation venv now pip-installs `pytest`). See "### `pytest` item".
+- Graceful item load: a self-loading item that fails to load its module/file (e.g. a `unittest` test file importing a missing module, or `pytest` not installed on the host) no longer aborts the **whole** test load. `TestSet._load_item()` wraps the item's `load()`, emits a `tm.print_warn(...)` at load time and records the reason in `item._load_error`; the `@test_run` wrapper turns a non-None `_load_error` into a clean run-time `FAILURE` (message printed once via `write_footer`). The rest of the campaign loads and runs normally. Applies to module-loading items (`unittest`, `pytest`); structural action loading stays fail-fast.
+- `console` item — serial robustness + richer `read_until`: (1) a failed serial `open()` now raises a clear `ETUMRuntimeError` ("Serial device '…' does not exist." / permission hint) instead of dumping a pyserial traceback, and a console whose open failed is safely "not open" (init `_thd=None` + `isOpened` guards in `readchar`/`read_nowait`/`close`) so later reads no longer crash with `AttributeError: '_thd'`; the action handlers show a one-liner for expected (`ETUMRuntimeError`) errors and keep the full traceback for unexpected ones. (2) `read_until`'s `expected` now accepts a **list of values** (match any) and a new `regex: true` flag treats each pattern as a Python regex (`re.search` over a bounded tail — `Console.REGEX_WINDOW`; limitation: cost/memory bounded, so a match only after a very long stream or beyond the window won't fire). Flatpak manifest now grants `--device=all` so serial adapters (`/dev/ttyUSB*`, `/dev/ttyACM*`) are visible in the sandbox. Validation: new `read_until` list/regex cases in `test/validation/items/console/test.tum`.
+- Parameters are expanded at **run time**, never at load: control-flow flags (`stop_on_failure`/`execute_on_stop`) resolve via properties at run, `cycle` iterator / `git` repo / `tested_references` references and `console` `telnet_port` are no longer (incorrectly) expanded or left unexpanded at load. Justified load-time exceptions: `name`, `doc`, `skipped`, and `unittest`/`pytest` `test_method`.
+- Subprocess RPC startup handshake: the `py_func`/`lua_func`/`eval_proc` worker now picks its own port (`bind 0`), announces it on stdout (`__TESTIUM_RPC_PORT__=`), and the parent connects only after reading it. Fixes intermittent Windows `failed to connect : timeout` and the matching `wait_ready()` hang; removes the reserve/close/rebind race and `SO_REUSEADDR`. See "Subprocess RPC startup handshake".
 - `build_all.sh`: builds the four heavy channels in parallel (serial prep for the shared venv + wheel), results in completion order, Ctrl+C kills the whole job tree; `--ram` puts the build scratch on tmpfs (`/dev/shm`) + skips UPX for fast builds on USB/SD storage (Flatpak excluded — rofiles-fuse can't mount tmpfs). See the "Building all channels" section.
 - LSP across packaging channels: `testium lsp` (and the `testium_assist` editor extension that spawns it) now works from source, wheel, PyInstaller, Flatpak and AppImage. Two enablers — (1) action items declare a class-level `ACTIONS = {key: class}` registry (like `PARAMS`), so `lsp/schema.py` builds the full schema from class attributes with no `inspect.getsource`/AST (which broke under frozen PyInstaller); (2) the `[lsp]` extra (pygls) is wired into every full-app channel. `test/validation/lsp_check.py`, run by `run.sh` before the suite, asserts per-channel that `schema` keeps its actions and `lsp` answers `initialize`. See the matching architecture sections.
 - Declarative test item parameters (v0.2): each `TestItem` subclass exposes a `PARAMS = ParamSet(...)` class attribute consumed by the base `__init__`. Catches unknown YAML keys (typo warnings listing the accepted names) and missing required params (load-time errors with `.tum` context). Lays the schema foundation for a future LSP server and auto-generated manual sections. See the matching architecture section.

+The ``pytest`` test item runs a `pytest <https://docs.pytest.org>`_ test
+file and turns every collected test into a child item, each with its own

+            - test_version
+
+Attributes
+------------------
+
+Beside common test items attributes, the pytest test item has specific
+attributes:
+
+* ``test_file``: the name (and eventually path) of the pytest file to run.
+* ``test_method``: optional list of test function names. When present, only
+  the matching tests are included in the test tree (the name is matched
+  against the function part of each pytest *node id*, the parametrisation
+  suffix being ignored). Otherwise every collected test in the file is run.
+
+Host execution
+------------------
+
+Unlike ``unittest`` (which runs in *testium*'s own interpreter), the
+``pytest`` item runs pytest in a **subprocess on the host interpreter** — the
+same one used by ``py_func`` / ``lua_func`` (overridable with the
+``python_bin`` global variable). As a consequence:
+
+* ``pytest`` (and the test's own dependencies) must be installed on that host
+  interpreter — e.g. ``pip install pytest``. It is not bundled with *testium*.
+* the tests run isolated from *testium*'s in-process API; they are meant to be
+  self-contained (they exercise the device/software under test, not the
+  *testium* tree).
+
+The item is invoked with a controlled pytest configuration
+(``--capture=no``, user ``addopts`` neutralised, cache disabled); a small
+built-in pytest plugin reports the collected tests and their results back to
+*testium*.

+version 0.3
+==============
+- New ``pytest`` test item: run your pytest files as a test step; each
+  test shows up with its own PASS / FAIL / SKIP. Requires pytest to be
+  installed (``pip install pytest``).
+- Search the test tree in the GUI (Ctrl+F): find items by name, type or
+  doc; matches are highlighted and you can step through them.
+- console ``read_until`` can now wait for several possible texts at once
+  (it matches the first one seen), and a ``regex: true`` option lets you
+  match with a regular expression.
+- Serial console: a clear message when the device is missing, and serial
+  ports now work in the Flatpak version.
+- If a test file cannot be loaded (for example pytest is not installed),
+  only that step fails — the rest of the tests still run.
+- Fix: a variable (``$(...)``) used in a console ``telnet_port`` is now
+  correctly substituted.
+
+version 0.2.3
+=============
+- Windows version now working reliably. Fix of a problem of jrpc ports
+  handshakes between the py and lua processes and testium.
+  Beneficial to linux version too.
+- Windows: UTF-8 console output and a self-sufficient validation
+  wrapper (run.bat).
+- Resolved python_bin / lua_bin are now published into the global dict,
+  so test scripts can read them via $(python_bin) / $(lua_bin).
+- Windows: new per-user installer (no admin).
+
 version 0.2.2
 ==============
 - Flatpak sandbox issue fixed for term console. Now a term console is

+"""``pytest`` test item.
+
+Runs a user pytest file and surfaces every collected test as a child item
+(one PASS / FAIL / SKIP per test, with duration and failure message in the
+report) — the pytest analogue of the ``unittest`` item.
+
+Unlike ``unittest`` (which runs in-process), pytest runs in a **subprocess on
+the host interpreter** (``bins.python_bin()``), exactly like ``py_func`` /
+``lua_func``. This keeps the user's pytest install and test dependencies on
+the host (visible across every packaging channel — source, wheel, PyInstaller,
+Flatpak, AppImage) instead of requiring them inside the bundled interpreter.
+
+A tiny stdlib-only pytest plugin is shipped as a self-contained launcher
+script (run directly and registered via ``pytest.main(plugins=[...])`` — no
+PYTHONPATH / ``-p`` / import-by-name). It streams the collected node ids and
+per-test results back over the subprocess stdout as sentinel-prefixed lines,
+which the parent parses live.
