 Integration tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.integration` and require Docker (testcontainers). Run unit tests alone for quick local feedback.
 
-CI runs unit and integration tests in parallel, then merges coverage into a single report (see [`.gitea/workflows/test.yml`](.gitea/workflows/test.yml)).
+CI runs unit and integration tests in parallel for fast feedback; a follow-up job re-runs both suites with `--cov-append` to produce a combined coverage report (Gitea Actions does not support cross-job artifact download yet).
 
 `pre-commit` is included in the dev dependency group. `uv sync` installs the CLI, but git does not run hooks until you install them with `pre-commit install` (one time per clone). After that, commits run the checks defined in [`.pre-commit-config.yaml`](.pre-commit-config.yaml) (ruff, mypy, pyupgrade, prettier, and general file hygiene).
