Docker is not used on Windows, when collecting code coverage, when Docker is not available, when the image cannot be built or when the database server cannot be identified.

Each worker gets its own network, temporary directory and database server, of the same type and version as the one configured through the `WP_CLI_TEST_DB*` variables (or set the image through `WP_CLI_TEST_DOCKER_DB`, e.g. `mysql:8.0`). Nothing is shared between workers, so they can run any scenario. The database servers keep their data in memory. Scenarios selected by path or name run in a single container.

Nothing is shared between workers, so they can run any scenario. The database servers keep their data in memory. Scenarios selected by path or name run in a single container.

The containers run the same PHP version as the host, unless `WP_CLI_TEST_DOCKER_PHP` sets another one:

Isolate the test environment.

If GITHUB_TOKEN is set, the script omits ~@github-api, but this test expects it. If WP_VERSION=trunk, the script adds ~@broken-trunk. Either setting makes the unit test fail. Clear both variables for this invocation, using run_with_env() to restore them afterward. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @tests/tests/TestBehatTags.php at line 367:
Update the test invocation through run_behat_tags_script to clear GITHUB_TOKEN
and WP_VERSION only for this run, using run_with_env so their prior values are
restored afterward.

Re-run host database detection before recalculating fallback tags.

When Docker preparation fails in auto mode, utils/behat-parallel.php switches to host Behat but keeps the existing tag arguments. The host database check also ran before Docker preparation and was skipped while Docker mode was enabled.

Clear the Docker mode, run the host database check, and then recalculate the tags before starting host Behat. Recalculating tags alone is insufficient because the host database type, including the SQLite fallback, may not have been detected.

Review comment at @utils/behat-tags.php at line 53:
In the auto-mode Docker preparation failure path, clear WP_CLI_TEST_DOCKER,
rerun host database detection so the host database type or SQLite fallback is
set, and then recalculate the Behat tag arguments before starting host Behat.
