@@ -7,65 +7,309 @@ This module is used in two ways:
    When devx is installed, pytest auto-discovers this plugin via the

-   non-hermetic tests and reports violations as warnings.
+   non-hermetic tests and **fails the test run** if any violations are found.
 
-   To promote warnings to errors (fail the test run), add to pyproject.toml::
+   The plugin also wraps ``subprocess.run`` at runtime to catch real
+   subprocess calls that leak through transitive call paths (e.g.
+   ``CliRunner.invoke(main)`` → ``main()`` → ``update_doc_versions()``
+   → ``subprocess.run()``).  If a test spawns a real subprocess without

-
-   Or use the ``--strict-test-isolation`` flag on the command line.
+   To disable for a specific run: ``--no-test-isolation``.
 
 2. **As a standalone CLI** (for CI gates)::
 
        python3 -m devx.tools.check_test_isolation [--test-path tests/]
-       python3 -m devx.tools.check_test_isolation --strict
+
+   Always exits non-zero on any hard violation. Transitive-subprocess

+
+Project-Specific Configuration
+-------------------------------
+
+Projects can extend the built-in rule sets via ``[tool.devx.check_test_isolation]``
+in ``pyproject.toml``.  Entries are merged on top of the defaults — they
+add to (not replace) the built-in rules::
+
+    [tool.devx.check_test_isolation]
+    # Functions known to do filesystem or network I/O
+    io_functions = { "my_func" = "reads config from disk", ... }
+    # Functions known to spawn subprocesses
+    subprocess_helpers = { "my_helper" = "calls subprocess.run", ... }
+    # Transitive deps: if a helper calls these, patching any of them is safe
+    helper_internal_calls = { "my_helper" = ["subprocess", "run_cmd"], ... }
+    # I/O function internal deps: patching any of these makes the call safe
+    io_internal_calls = { "my_func" = ["open", "yaml"], ... }
+    # Heavy modules slow to import at module level in test files
+    heavy_module_imports = { "mymodule" = 150.0, ... }

+6. **Module-level heavy imports** — importing ``httpx``, ``ansible``,
+   etc. at module level in test files slows collection for all tests.
+7. **``importlib.reload`` without cleanup** — reloading a module in a
+   test mutates global state.  Each reload must be paired with a
