 """Pytest plugin providing Neon database branch fixtures.
 
-This plugin provides fixtures for isolated database testing using Neon's
-instant branching feature. Each test gets a clean database state via
-branch reset after each test.
+This plugin provides fixtures for database testing using Neon's instant
+branching feature. Multiple isolation levels are available:
 
 Main fixtures:
-    neon_branch_readwrite: Read-write access with reset after each test (recommended)
-    neon_branch_readonly: Read-only access, no reset (fastest for read-only tests)
-    neon_branch: Deprecated alias for neon_branch_readwrite
+    neon_branch_readonly: True read-only access via read_only endpoint (enforced)
+    neon_branch_dirty: Session-scoped read-write, shared state across all tests
+    neon_branch_isolated: Per-worker branch with reset after each test (recommended)
+    neon_branch_readwrite: Deprecated, use neon_branch_isolated instead
+    neon_branch: Deprecated alias for neon_branch_isolated
     neon_branch_shared: Shared branch without reset (module-scoped)
+
+Connection fixtures (require extras):
     neon_connection: psycopg2 connection (requires psycopg2 extra)
     neon_connection_psycopg: psycopg v3 connection (requires psycopg extra)
     neon_engine: SQLAlchemy engine (requires sqlalchemy extra)

@@ -23,9 +40,6 @@ SQLAlchemy Users:
     Without pool_pre_ping, SQLAlchemy may try to reuse dead pooled connections,

-    Note: pool_pre_ping is not required for neon_branch_readonly since no
