 - **Lint / vet:** `make lint`
 - **Tests:** `make test` (writes `cover.out` for coverage)
 - **Test coverage:** `make test` writes `cover.out`. Run `make test-cover` to refresh tests and emit `out/coverage.html` and `out/coverage.txt` (`go tool cover`). With `cover.out` present, `make cover-func` prints a per-function summary and `make cover-html` opens the interactive HTML report in a browser (local). Remove generated artifacts with `make cover-clean`.
+- **CI coverage:** Pull requests and pushes to `main` upload `cover.out` to [Codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/kubernetes-sigs/mcp-lifecycle-operator).
 - **Generate manifests:** `make manifests generate`
 
 After making changes, open a pull request on GitHub. Ensure CI passes and address any review feedback.
