+# Without this file Codecov applies its default project status of
+# target: auto / threshold: 0%, which fails CI on any coverage decrease at
+# all -- including the sub-0.1% jitter that comes from async/threaded lines
+# being counted slightly differently between runs. Give the gate a 1%
+# threshold so it tolerates that noise while still catching real regressions.
