Large suites need individually targetable partitions so they can run across multiple jobs. The new how-to explains partition selection and fixture-level grouping.

  • How-to: Adds guidance on one-based partition numbering, hash-based assignment, stable partition counts, and relevant caveats.
  • Runner examples: Shows Test Selection Language filters for the console runner and dotnet test.
nunit3-console MyTests.dll --where "partition == 2/5"
nunit3-console MyTests.dll --where "partition == 2/5:fixture"

Adds the article to the Writing Tests table of contents.

Move it under "docs/docs/articles/nunit/running-tests" instead.
Update command line args here too:

Moved the guide under docs/articles/nunit/running-tests and updated both command-line --where references. Commit: fe50898.
