Improving Positive Reinforcement for Coverage Increases

[codecovdesign]

Problem to solve

@benvinegar feedback: submitted a PR that significantly increased project coverage from 72% to 80%, but Codecov primarily highlighted a few uncovered lines rather than acknowledging the substantial coverage improvement.

Codecov's current report/feedback mechanism focuses on uncovered lines, potentially overlooking the user's significant contributions to overall coverage, leading to a less rewarding experience.

Discovery for updates

Enhance Codecov's feedback to: highlight overall coverage increases in PR comments, to help reinforce and reward substantial coverage contributions, even if some lines remain uncovered.

some considerations to explore in case of project increase:

• add copy to: Congratulations! Your project coverage increased by 7.35%
• explore add rewarding system like gold, silver, metal (based on the tests you add)
