+# Codecov's defaults seem to leave red marks in GitHub CI checks in a
+# rather arbitrary manner, probably because of non-determinism in
+# coverage (see https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2891)
+# and maybe because computers are bad with floating point numbers.
+
+# Allow coverage percentage a precision of zero decimals, and round to
+# the nearest number (for example, 89.957 to to 90; 89.497 to 89%).
+# Coverage above 90% is good, below 80% is bad.
+coverage:
+  round: nearest
+  range: 80..90
+  precision: 0

+  # Aim for a target test coverage of 90% in codecov/project check (do
+  # not allow project coverage to drop below that), and allow
+  # codecov/patch a threshold of 1% (allow coverage in changes to drop
+  # by that much, and no less).  That should be good enough for us.
