test(coverage): enforce 75% unit gate and push integration to 60%

[sergio-sisternes-epam]

TL;DR

Enforce a 75% unit coverage gate in CI and push integration test coverage from 44% to 60% with 36 new test files (~2,760 tests). Unit coverage is report-only no longer — PRs that regress below 75% now fail the Tests job. Integration remains report-only with a Phase 3 placeholder.

Note

Closes #1401. Phase 2 of the progressive coverage ratchet (#1398). Phase 1 shipped in #1404.

Problem (WHY)

• Unit coverage has no enforcement gate — a PR could delete half the test suite and CI would still pass. The only signal was a $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY table nobody was required to read.
• Integration test coverage sat at 44%, leaving large surfaces (adapters, marketplace resolver, policy checks, CLI commands, MCP registry, diagnostics) untested at the integration boundary.
• [!] Without a gate, coverage drifts downward over time as new features land without proportional test additions — the ratchet pattern in #1398 exists precisely to prevent this.

Approach (WHAT)

#	Fix
1	Add fail_under = 75 to [tool.coverage.report] in pyproject.toml — pytest-cov enforces the gate automatically when --cov is passed.
2	Add Phase 3 placeholder comment in ci-integration.yml recording the 44% baseline and 54% target — no active gate yet.
3	Add 36 integration test files covering adapters, CLI commands, compilation, deps, marketplace, policy, MCP, diagnostics, and the new copilot-app target modules.

Implementation (HOW)

• pyproject.toml — One line: fail_under = 75 under [tool.coverage.report]. pytest-cov reads this and exits non-zero when coverage drops below 75%. The current unit baseline is ~78%, giving 3 points of headroom.
• .github/workflows/ci-integration.yml — Three comment lines recording the integration baseline (44%) and Phase 3 target (54%). The coverage step retains continue-on-error: true — no enforcement.
• tests/integration/test_*_coverage.py (36 files) — Hermetic integration tests that exercise real code paths with minimal mocking (only external I/O: HTTP, subprocess, os.environ, Path.home). Organised in progressive waves covering: CLI commands via CliRunner, pure-logic functions, adapter helpers, marketplace/policy/registry operations, dep resolution, MCP registry, diagnostics/validation, and the new copilot-app target modules from feat(experimental): copilot-app target deploys scheduled prompts to App DB #1405.

Diagrams

Legend: How the coverage gate integrates into the existing CI pipeline — the unit job now has a hard gate while integration remains report-only.

Trade-offs

• Gate at 75%, not 77%. The ratchet rule in [FEATURE] Progressive test coverage gates (strangler-fig ratchet) #1398 suggests actual - 3 when actual exceeds the gate by 5+ points (78 - 3 = 75 exactly). Kept 75% to give the community margin during refactors — the gate can be ratcheted up in a future Phase.
• Integration remains report-only. Enforcing an integration gate requires stable network-independent tests; the 16 test_skill_bundle_live failures prove we are not there yet. Phase 3 will activate the gate once those are addressed.
• Wave-numbered test files. Test files retain wave numbering (test_wave3_*, test_wave7_*) from the iterative development process. Renaming would produce a large churn commit with no coverage benefit — a follow-up housekeeping PR is the right venue.
• Branch coverage included. pyproject.toml has branch = true, so the 60% integration figure is combined line+branch coverage (64% statement-only, 50% branch-only). This is stricter but more meaningful.

Benefits

1. Unit regressions blocked — any PR dropping unit coverage below 75% fails CI before merge.
2. Integration coverage +16 percentage points — from 44% to 60%, covering ~31,000 of ~52,000 line+branch targets.
3. 2,760+ new integration tests — exercising CLI commands, adapters, marketplace, policy, MCP, diagnostics, and copilot-app modules.
4. Phase 3 baseline recorded — the 44% baseline and 54% target are documented in ci-integration.yml for the next ratchet step.

16 failures in test_skill_bundle_live.py are pre-existing network-dependent tests that pass in CI.

Scenario Evidence

#	Scenario (user promise)	Principle(s)	Test(s) proving it	Type
1	A PR that drops unit coverage below 75% fails the CI Tests job	Governed by policy	pyproject.toml fail_under = 75 enforced by pytest-cov (verified locally by setting fail_under = 99 and confirming non-zero exit)	config
2	Integration coverage is visible but does not block PRs	DevX	.github/workflows/ci-integration.yml line 274: continue-on-error: true	config
3	apm install, apm audit, apm outdated, apm view CLI commands work end-to-end on valid project fixtures	DevX, Portability by manifest	tests/integration/test_commands_deep_coverage.py tests/integration/test_wave5_e2e_coverage.py	integration
4	Policy checks enforce allow/deny rules and emit correct diagnostics	Governed by policy, Secure by default	tests/integration/test_policy_coverage.py tests/integration/test_wave7_policy_registry_coverage.py	integration
5	Copilot-app target namespacing, URI encoding, and DB resolution work correctly	Multi-harness support, Portability by manifest	tests/integration/test_copilot_app_targets_coverage.py	integration

How to test

• Pull the branch and run uv run --extra dev pytest tests/unit tests/test_console.py -n auto --dist worksteal --cov — verify exit code 0 and coverage >= 75%.
• Temporarily set fail_under = 99 in pyproject.toml and re-run — verify exit code is non-zero (FAIL Required test coverage of 99.0% not reached).
• Run uv run --extra dev pytest tests/integration/ -q --cov=apm_cli --override-ini="addopts=" — verify 2,600+ tests pass and coverage >= 60%.
• Confirm CI passes on the PR (unit gate green, integration report-only).
