+• **Coverage Report:**
+
+To generate a coverage report that includes both unit and e2e tests:
+
+```bash
+hatch run test:coverage-erase      # Clean old coverage data
+hatch run test:test                # Run unit tests (collects coverage)
+./e2e/run_all.sh                   # Run all e2e tests (collects coverage)
+hatch run test:coverage-report     # Combine and generate markdown report
+```
+
+The report is printed to the terminal and saved to a timestamped file
+(`coverage-report-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md`). For unit-test-only coverage,
+skip the `run_all.sh` step. To run a single e2e suite instead of all,
+replace `run_all.sh` with one of: `ci_bootstrap_suite.sh`,
+`ci_bootstrap_parallel_suite.sh`, `ci_build_suite.sh`, `ci_config_suite.sh`,
+`ci_specialized_suite.sh`, `ci_workflow_suite.sh`.
