📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates the Codecov integration across two configuration files. A new coverage status block is added to .codecov.yml to make coverage checks informational, while .github/workflows/ci.yml replaces the curl-based Codecov integration with the official codecov/codecov-action@v5 GitHub Action, moving token handling to action inputs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Codecov Configuration .codecov.yml	Adds new coverage status configuration to make both project and patch coverage checks informational (report-only mode, never fails CI)
CI Workflow Integration .github/workflows/ci.yml	Replaces curl-based Codecov upload with codecov/codecov-action@v5; renames "Codecov" step to "Generate Coverage Report"; removes env-injected CODECOV_TOKEN and moves token handling to action inputs; adds separate "Coverage Summary" step for GitHub output

Poem

🐰 Hops of joy for coverage flows,
From curl to action, progress grows,
Informational now, never red,
CI runs smoothly ahead! ✨
