Update codecov.yml: add ignore patterns for non-code files

[eedri]

Summary

Adds ignore patterns to codecov.yml for non-executable files that inflate the coverage denominator:

• .agents/** — AI agent configurations
• .claude/** — Claude AI workspace settings
• .cursor/** — Cursor AI settings
• skills/** — AI skill definitions
• docs/** — Documentation files
• *.md — Markdown files (README, AGENTS.md, etc.)
• *.toml — TOML configuration files

Existing config (flags, require_ci_to_pass: true) is preserved.

Why

Non-executable files (Markdown, TOML, docs) are counted as "uncovered lines" by Codecov, dragging down patch coverage even though they can't be tested. This was identified as the primary driver of the 13.1% patch coverage drop in the Jul 20-26 weekly report.

Add Codecov ignore patterns for non-executable docs and AI config files

⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 Less than 5 minutes

AI Description

• Add Codecov ignore globs for docs, markdown, TOML, and AI tooling directories.
• Prevent non-executable files from inflating the coverage denominator and lowering patch coverage.
• Preserve existing Codecov settings (e.g., require_ci_to_pass, flags/status structure).

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Exclude via coverage tool config (e.g., .coveragerc/pytest)

• ➕ Keeps the source-of-truth exclusions with the coverage generator
• ➕ Can prevent excluded files from ever reaching Codecov reports
• ➖ Tool-specific and language-specific; harder in polyglot repos
• ➖ May require CI/test runner changes vs. a single Codecov config edit

2. Limit Codecov to specific source roots (path-based include)

• ➕ More restrictive: only count intended code directories
• ➕ Avoids maintaining a growing ignore list
• ➖ Risk of accidentally excluding legitimate code outside the chosen roots
• ➖ May require repo-specific restructuring or conventions to be reliable

Recommendation: The current Codecov-side ignore list is the simplest, lowest-risk fix for denominator inflation and can be applied immediately without changing CI or test tooling. If the ignore list grows over time, consider moving exclusions upstream into the coverage generator config or switching to an allowlist of code roots to reduce maintenance.

• Adds an 'ignore' section with glob patterns for AI tooling directories, documentation, Markdown, and TOML files. This prevents non-executable files from counting against coverage while preserving existing Codecov settings.

Review

Findings

Low

• [missing-authorization] codecov.yml — No linked Jira issue for this coverage configuration change. The AGENTS.md convention states commits should start with a Jira ID. However, this is a one-file configuration-only change to a CI reporting tool that does not affect production code, build artifacts, or runtime behavior. The PR body provides clear rationale (13.1% patch coverage drop from non-executable files).
  Remediation: Consider linking a Jira issue if team process requires it, but this is a minor housekeeping change.
