What steps will reproduce the bug?

run this with node --test-only

const {it, describe} = require('node:test');

describe.only('this is describe', () => {
  it.only('should only run this', () => {
    console.log('test 1');
  });

  it('should not run this', () => {
    console.log('test 2');
  });
});

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

to only log test 1

What do you see instead?

I see that both tests are logged:

test 1
test 2
▶ this is describe
  ✔ should only run this (0.615625ms)
  ✔ should not run this (0.070041ms)
▶ this is describe (1.4065ms)

ℹ tests 2
ℹ suites 1
ℹ pass 2
ℹ fail 0
ℹ cancelled 0
ℹ skipped 0
ℹ todo 0
ℹ duration_ms 4.498084

Additional information

All I'm trying to do is run a single it that inside a describe

It looks like there are two things going on:

1. Per the docs, the flag only applies to top level tests. This is for the same reason described in having --test and --test-only flags increase prototyping time #47945.
2. It looks like describe (more specifically, the SuiteContext class) doesn't support t.runOnly(), which is needed for nested "only" tests.
