Subject: [PATCH] Default `--ll` to `None` in test harness
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Only override `tractor.log._default_loglevel` when
the flag is explicitly passed — lets per-spawn and
per-example `loglevel` kwargs take effect instead
of being clobbered by the hard-coded `'ERROR'`
default.
