The Contributors report now measures "Covered / Lines added" from the actual changes in each pull request (the diff) instead of subtracting whole-commit coverage totals. This makes the numbers reflect the lines a person really added or modified, and fixes wildly inflated figures for organizations using carry-forward flags/components (where a commit only uploads part of the coverage).
Added a new "Uncovered lines added" column to the Contributors report, showing how many of the lines each contributor added or modified are not covered by tests. It is measured from each pull request's diff, so it stays reliable even when carry-forward is enabled.
The "Uncovered lines removed" column now shows a note for organizations using carry-forward flags/components, explaining that it compares whole-commit coverage totals (which include coverage carried forward from the default branch) and can therefore be inaccurate — pointing to the new "Uncovered lines added" column as the reliable per–pull request figure.
For organizations using carry-forward flags/components, the pull request page, the repository pull request list, and the coverage comment posted to GitHub now flag that the base→head change (±) on Tracked Lines / Covered Lines / Misses compares whole-commit totals (which include carried-forward coverage) and can be inaccurate. The absolute numbers, Coverage and Patch Coverage remain reliable.
