+Coverage applies to hand-written `internal/...`: at least 85% aggregate statement coverage,

+covered at all while `merge_after_approval` stays outside the accepted delivery set. Raise

 not dilute the denominator. Numeric coverage supplements, never replaces, negative, replay,
 fault, restart, concurrency, and fuzz tests.
