 There are two [https://docs.codecov.com/docs/commit-status status checks]
 associated with Codecov reporting being attached to commits:
 [https://docs.codecov.com/docs/commit-status#project-status project] and
 [https://docs.codecov.com/docs/commit-status#patch-status patch].

 Patch status only measures the lines adjusted in the commit where project
 measures the overall project coverage and compares the before and after
 for the current commit.

 Because a coverage report is not generated for every commit, the `project`
 check sometimes attaches misleading information to a commit when it does
 run. For example, see [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/commit/567b8377541bf5f212437c73590bf044b22e1730 this commit]. No
 files in the `src` directory were changed, but the test coverage is
 reported as declining.

 It seems that any decline in coverage is also considered a failure.
