coverage-report
Numbers come only from the tool. The model never estimates, infers, or rounds coverage. The model's only role is joining tool output to the manifest's reasons and narrating the observations section.
Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/coverage-report.base.md and the repo's
.claude/coverage/refs/coverage-manifest.yml first.
One command, any time
The whole report is one wrapper — no arguments needed (it auto-detects the .sln):
./.claude/coverage/tools/report.sh
It collects coverage, joins it against the manifest, and writes a dated per-run folder
.claude/coverage/reports/<YYYY-MM-DD>/ containing REPORT.md, REPORT.html, and
CANNOT-TEST.md, then prints the Markdown. It exits non-zero only for a check named in the
manifest's gate.enforce (empty by default, so a breach prints as ADVISORY and the script still
succeeds); a failing build or test run is fatal regardless, from run-coverage.sh. Each run writes its own dated folder rather than overwriting a fixed
path, so prior dates are preserved for comparison; override the date with REPORT_DATE=YYYY-MM-DD
to re-emit under a specific day. CANNOT-TEST.md is generated from the manifest cannot_test
entries (grouped by blocking construct, each row citing target, reason, and unlock), not
hand-written. This is the identical join CI runs — the report a developer sees locally is the report on
the PR. When invoked as the coverage-report skill, just run it and surface the result;
don't re-derive numbers by hand.
Steps
Run the wrapper.
./.claude/coverage/tools/report.sh(or, before init has copied it,${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/report.sh). Pass a solution path or repo-filter only if auto-detect is wrong. If the tools or solution are missing, report that — never fabricate numbers. All numbers come from the tool + the deterministic join incoverage-gate.py; the model does not parse XML or compute percentages.The script prints
KIT_VERSION=,KIT_DRIFT=andFILE_FILTER=before collecting. Check all three.KIT_DRIFT=is<state> <manifest kit_version> <kit semver>: any state other thancurrentmeans this repo has not been reconciled against the current kit, and the report carries a note saying so. Surface it in one line and namecoverage-redoas what applies it. Do not apply any migration here: a report that quietly changed the measured scope would make its own numbers unreproducible. The one exception is the stale-tool-copy refresh below, which changes no classification. See${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/MIGRATIONS.md("Preflight"). Stale tool copies no longer need asking about:report.shrunskit-sync.pyfirst, which installs the current copies and applies theautomanifest entries, printing[kit-sync]lines for each. Relay those lines and remind the user to COMMIT the changed files, since CI runs the committed copies and not their kit checkout. If the sync printed nothing, the repo was already current. IfFILE_FILTERlacks an exclusion for a shared directory that is present in the repo, stop and fixscope.vendored_pathsbefore trusting the number.Latent bugs are DATA, not narration. The script's report is complete and deterministic (verdict, headline, Do-next, insights, by-bucket, and the red section 7). Suspected bugs frozen by characterization belong in manifest
latent_bugs:, wherecoverage-gate.pyrenders them as section 7 plus the ACTION REQUIRED banner. Put them there, not in a hand-written section: the report is regenerated on every run, so appended prose is lost, and a defect backlog that evaporates is worse than none. Verify the banner's A/B/C count matches what the backfill found, and add no narrated section of your own.At baseline only. Write the measured Adjusted overall into
baseline.recorded_overall(withbasis: in-scope) so it becomes the ratchet floor. Not on ordinary report runs. Stampbaseline.scope_linesat the same time, from the report's "Total lines (Adjusted)" denominator. It is what lets the gate distinguish a real regression from a filter mistake: without it, a scoping error presents as a coverage collapse and the ratchet blames the tests.
Report shape — the Unit Test Report (produced by coverage-gate.py)
Fixed six-section report card. Header carries commit / branch / date / tooling / verdict; coverage is two-pass throughout — Adjusted (target set, the headline + ratchet basis) and Raw (all instrumented), for C0, C1, and Method.
# Unit Test Report — <repo>
<commit · branch · date · tooling · verdict (gate PASS/FAIL · Adjusted C0/C1)>
## 1. Test Results total / passed / failed / skipped / flaky / duration (from .trx)
## 2. Coverage Summary Raw | Adjusted | Baseline | Δ, for C0 / C1 / Method; + the Gate block
(ratchet always; diff-coverage + scope-change guard in PR mode, --base)
## 3. Coverage by Layer columns: Layer | Raw lines | Raw branches | Testable lines |
Testable branches | C0 | C1 — where C0/C1 cells are "NN% (covered/total)"
over the testable slice (covered counts fold into the cell, no separate
covered columns). Rows are
human LAYER names (Application/Service — TARGET, Infrastructure/Integration,
Presentation/Workers, Models/DTOs, Generated, Non-product) mapped from the
manifest categories — NEVER the raw `excl: <category>` strings (an `excl:` row
showing a coverage % read as "excluded but covered??"). Raw = all code in the
layer; Testable = its unit-testable slice (whole file in the target layer; only
carve-out methods elsewhere); C0/C1 are of the testable slice. Only the target
layer feeds the Adjusted headline. + a per-file table (same columns + the file's
Layer) so a 1631-line infra file reading as 131 testable lines is clear.
## 4. Risk Hotspots methods with complexity ≥5 and coverage <80%, sorted TARGET-FIRST, with a
"What to do" column + per-bucket guidance (target=unit-test; integration=
integration test/extract carve-out; e2e=E2E/refactor) and a takeaway line
calling out how many are real in-scope unit gaps. Methods already in
cannot_test are omitted (they belong to §6, not shown as gaps).
## 5. Excluded Code manifest exclusions grouped by category — mechanism = "manifest pattern"
## 6. Not Testable split by nature: 6a Design debt (seam-fixable, should trend to zero) ·
6b Structural (compiler/unreachable/dead/framework-mismatch — will NOT move).
Columns: target · where (lines) · why · category · mitigation. A systematic-
seam callout quantifies clusters (e.g. "N share Guid.NewGuid → one seam").
## 7. Latent bugs (rendered from manifest `latent_bugs:`) red, ACTION REQUIRED, if any
Honest-reporting rules baked into the generator (do not "fix" these to mimic a different stack):
- Tooling reflects the real collector — Microsoft Code Coverage (
dotnet-coverage) + ReportGenerator + xUnit — not Coverlet (dormant in this kit). - Mechanism (section 5) is the manifest join applied at report time; source is never
annotated with
[ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]and coverlet--excludeis not used. - Flaky (section 1) is
—: a single non-retry run cannot observe flakiness. - Layers (section 3) are the repo's actual buckets, architecture-driven — not a fixed
Domain/Applicationtemplate.
Numbers (sections 1–4) are tool output joined deterministically; the model never edits them. The full per-file drill-down lives in the HTML report — the Markdown is the executive view.
Approving a scope change (reviewer sign-off)
Read this only while scope is one of the enforced checks (gate.enforce in the manifest). With
enforcement off, a scope breach is reported as ADVISORY, the run is green, and no label is needed
or useful; review the reported breach on its merits instead.
The coverage-scope-change label is the reviewer sign-off for an intentional scope reduction. It
maps to coverage-gate.py --allow-scope-change. Applying it waives only the scope-change guard
(grown exclusions/cannot_test, new product source under an excluded path) and a lowered
ratchet floor. It does NOT waive diff coverage on changed lines, nor a genuine ratchet drop below
the recorded floor. Those still fail the gate.
A PR that only adds tests never needs this label. The guard skips added test files and reports
how many it ignored. If it flags one anyway, the repo is on a kit older than 0.14.0 (refresh
.claude/coverage/tools/) or its tests sit somewhere the directory heuristic misses, which is what
gate.test_path_patterns is for. Reaching for the label there is the wrong fix: it waives the whole
guard for that PR, including any real scope reduction riding along with it.
To sign off, ADD the label (its name must be exactly coverage-scope-change). This is where a
real reviewer got stuck, so state it plainly:
- The workflow triggers on
labeled(see the template), so adding the label starts a fresh run whose event payload contains the label. That run reads the label and passes. - Do NOT click "Re-run jobs" to pick up a just-added label. GitHub "Re-run" replays the
ORIGINAL event payload, which had no label, so the
contains(...labels...)check stays false and the gate fails again, confusingly. - If your workflow's trigger lacks
labeled(an older scaffold), push any commit or toggle the label off and on to force asynchronizerun whose payload includes the label.
