+          Opt-in. When non-empty, skip the install + test step and download an
+          artifact of this name from the same workflow_run. The artifact must
+          contain `coverage-percent.txt` — a single-line file with the coverage
+          percentage as a number (e.g. "87.4"). Coverage Floor reads the number,
+          skips the language-specific install + test invocation, and runs only
+          the floor comparison + seed + sticky-comment logic.
+
+          Caller pattern: in a single workflow, the test job runs pytest --cov
+          (or equivalent), writes the coverage % to coverage-percent.txt, uploads
+          it as an artifact. The coverage-floor job depends on the test job via
+          `needs:` and consumes that artifact name via this input.
+
+          The pre-measured caller template lives in topcoder1/dotclaude at
+          templates/ci-workflows/callers/coverage-floor-pre-measured.yml.
+
+          Saves ~50% of Coverage Floor's per-run minutes for repos where the
+          caller's CI already runs the same test suite. Existing callers that
+          don't pass this input keep the current behavior (run tests fresh).
+
+          Language-agnostic — the reusable just reads the percent. Caller's CI
+          computes it however (pytest-cov, go cover, vitest, custom script).
