The repo currently has no
codecov.yml, so Codecov uses its strict defaults: any coverage drop (project) and any patch under 100% are reported as failing statuses on PRs.This produces frequent red checks on small refactors even when coverage is unchanged or trivially impacted (e.g. #1035, #1038).
This change adds a minimal
codecov.ymlthat keeps useful signal while removing the noise:coverage.status.project.default.threshold: 1%— allow up to a 1% project-coverage drop without failing.coverage.status.project.default.if_ci_failed: success— don't double-report when the CI run itself failed.coverage.status.patch.default.informational: true— still report patch coverage, but never block PRs on it.comment.require_changes: true— only post a PR comment when coverage actually changes.Validated with
curl --data-binary @codecov.yml https://codecov.io/validate→Valid!.Real coverage regressions will still surface (anything > 1% project drop), and contributors keep getting patch-coverage feedback — it just won't block.
