Why codecov.yml is here, not in workflows/

The workflows/ directory is reserved for GitHub Actions workflow files (.yml/.yaml). The Codecov CLI searches for its config at one of these paths, in order:

1. .codecov.yml
2. codecov.yml
3. .github/codecov.yml

A file inside workflows/ would be silently ignored — Codecov never looks there. Putting it at .github/codecov.yml keeps it alongside the CI configuration without polluting the repo root.
