Parallel workers can collect different test IDs or collect them in a different order when parameters come from unordered inputs or values generated during collection. The parametrization how-to now explains the resulting collection error, shows a sorted-parameter example, and distinguishes stable IDs from consistent test cases. It links to pytest-xdist’s collection guidance and includes a changelog entry.
Closes #4101.
