The `concurrency = ['multiprocessing']` setting in [tool.coverage.run] causes coverage to install subprocess tracking hooks via its multiprocessing plugin. Newer coverage versions (post 7.15.0) have a regression in this plugin that sends SIGTERM to the tracked process, manifesting as exit code 143 in CI jobs (RayleighBenard, StroemungsRaum, DAE, fenics, mpi4py). Removing `[toml]` from `coverage[toml]` in environment files only prevents the TOML config from being read on Python 3.10; on Python 3.11+ the stdlib tomllib is used automatically, so the multiprocessing plugin remains active. This commit removes the setting from pyproject.toml directly, disabling the plugin on all Python versions.
