Summary

  • Add a compatibility note to the pyproject.toml configuration section.
  • Clarify that pytest versions older than 6.0 do not read pyproject.toml.
  • Recommend keeping minversion in pytest.ini or setup.cfg when supporting older pytest.

Closes #7730

Notes

  • Documentation-only change; no runtime behavior changed.
  • Tests are not required for this docs clarification.
