--lf has an optimization where it skips collecting Modules (python files) which don't contain failing tests. The optimization works by getting the paths of all cached failed tests and skipping the collection of Modules whose path is not included in that list. In pytest, Package nodes are Module nodes with the fspath being the file `<package dir>/__init__.py`. Since it's a Module the logic above triggered for it, and because it's an `__init__.py` file which is unlikely to have any failing tests in it, it is skipped, which causes its entire directory to be skipped, including any Modules inside it with failing tests. Fix by special-casing Packages to never filter. This means entire Packages are never filtered, the Modules themselves are always checked. It is reasonable to consider an optimization which does filter entire packages bases on parent paths etc. but this wouldn't actually save any real work so is really not worth it.
