    Hey there! Small feedback from me: linking an issue in codecov comment resulted with quite unexpected result:

    I could barely load this issue as GH was timing out on me 😅 maybe you can wrap link to the issue with in some sort of redirect on your end? (I dunno gh-feedback.codecov.io or whatever so it would not be auto-linked by github 🫠)

    edit: I could also barely add this comment, obviously unsubscribing here as it would flood my inbox

    I think this would be a good idea. It took me a whole bunch of tries to load this issue.

    As for actual feedback:

    My experience is that codecov marked one of my PRs as decreasing test coverage, when test coverage actually increased.

    8 covered lines were replaced by 14 covered lines. And those 14 lines are definitely covered, because they required updates to tests to exercise two separate code paths.

    5 lines of indirect changes are reported, but this should still not cause a decrease in overall coverage percentage. And it still doesn't explain why the Patch % is listed as 0.00%.

    So my overall experience is that this is worse than useless. I had to spend some time trying to figure out what's going on, only to come to the conclusion that either:

    • The code coverage measurement is as broken as it could possibly be.
    • I should be receiving some context to interpret what's going on, but I'm not.

    I want a better view of the coverage directly in my PR. See this Github issue which describes the issue perfectly: codecov/codecov-action#738

    I don't want to have to open a new tab and go look at some other application to figure out what the coverage is. It should be able to tell me right away in its comment to save me time and effort.

    Hi, I checked the docs and could not find where to configure this. I like Codecov as a FOSS maintainer to give me a view of the coverage change in each PR, but the current PR comment is pretty aggressive to my contributors. Would it be possible to change the ❌ Patch coverage is 65.72770% with 73 lines in your changes missing coverage. Please review. to more of a sidenote than what it currently suggests ? I want to see it, but I don't want contributors to feel like they need to increase coverage to merge
