Expected behavior

Specifying the --parallel flag should automatically set --continue to true, as documented here.

Actual behavior

Specifying the --parallel flag causes turbo to run with the (default) --continue=false behavior. If any task fails, then no more tasks will be run.

In order to ensure all tasks run, you need to explicitly set --continue.

To Reproduce

• Check out this repo
• Run npm install
• Run npx turbo run build --concurrency 2 --parallel
• Note that only 2 of the 5 tasks run (all build scripts intentionally fail)

Additional context

If the current behavior is desirable, this could just be treated as a documentation issue instead of a bug. IMO though implicitly setting --continue when using --parallel is likely what people expect to happen.

Thanks for the Issue, Jon! #10015 has the docs fix.
