pytest-cov treats --cov=<module-name> as a Python package and emits XML
paths relative to the package root, stripping the litellm/ prefix
(`proxy/proxy_server.py` instead of `litellm/proxy/proxy_server.py`).
Codecov's auto-prefix heuristic then drops every file whose basename is
ambiguous in the repo — `proxy_server.py` (3 copies under enterprise/),
`router.py` (2 copies), `utils.py` (20+), `main.py` (20+), `constants.py`
(2). The 11 highest-fix-rate hotspots have never appeared in Codecov.
Switching to --cov=./litellm treats the argument as a path, which makes
coverage.xml emit repo-relative paths (`litellm/proxy/proxy_server.py`).
Each path is unambiguous, so Codecov resolves all files correctly.
Verified locally: rerunning a single proxy_unit_tests test with
--cov=./litellm produced `filename="litellm/proxy/proxy_server.py"`,
`filename="litellm/router.py"`, and `filename="litellm/types/router.py"`
as distinct entries — exactly the disambiguation Codecov needs.
Touches every workflow that uploads coverage: the two reusable GHA
workflows (_test-unit-base.yml, _test-unit-services-base.yml),
test-mcp.yml, and all 14 invocations in .circleci/config.yml.
