Updates the requirements on pytest-rerunfailures to permit the latest version.

Changelog

Sourced from pytest-rerunfailures's changelog.

16.6.1 (2026-09-03)

Bug Fixes +++++++++

• Ensure teardown reports are passed to pytest_runtest_logreport for rerun attempts. ([#237](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/237) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/237>_)
• Prevent superseded built-in subtest failures from remaining in the final test result when rerunning tests with pytest-xdist. ([#350](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/350) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/350>_)
• Restore module, class, and session scoped fixture teardown when a flaky marker condition is falsy. ([#351](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/351) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/351>_)
• Restore module, class, and session scoped fixture teardown when an error raised during teardown rules out a re-run. ([#356](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/356) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/356>_)
• Keep module, class, and session scoped fixtures alive across re-runs of a test whose call phase failed through subtests only. ([#357](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/357) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/357>_)
• Authenticate xdist StatusDB connections with a per-session token. ([#358](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/358) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/358>_)
• Ensure negative rerun counts do not skip the initial test execution. ([#359](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/359) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/359>_)

Misc ++++

• Replace deprecated Config.getvalue() calls with Config.getoption(). ([#345](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/345) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/345>_)

16.6 (2026-08-17)

Features ++++++++

• Add a repeatable --rerun-exclude-path option to exclude test files or directories from reruns. ([#232](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/232) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures/issues/232>_)

Bug Fixes +++++++++

• Fix a regression in version 16.5 which made --pdb unusable even when no reruns were configured. (`#342
