- Linux arch job now uploads coverage.info as artifact
- ci-build.sh saves coverage.info before cleanup
- Removed separate coverage job (was duplicating arch build)
- Saves ~25% CI time by eliminating redundant build
Split functional tests into 4 parallel groups and add check-functional-parallel target (~3x faster CI runs).
Add branch-aware LCOV coverage reporting with new --enable-coverage option and lcov summary in CI pipeline.
Enable ccache via -C configure flag for faster recompilations.
Install lcov in all Docker images and use --depth 1 git clones + parallel make -j$(nproc) for quicker container builds.
Update CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions for parallel test groups and adding new ones.
All changes are tightly related CI/performance improvements developed in sequence. No external service uploads (e.g. Codecov skipped due to Gitea incompatibility).
