+# path filters, request_changes_workflow, custom checks — and only overrides the one value

+    # This repository holds no Go — or any other docstring-bearing — production code: it is
+    # declarative org configuration (deploy/**.yaml), workflow templates, docs and a bash
+    # test script. So the metric has nothing to measure here and reports 0.00% against an
+    # 80% threshold, blocking merges on a documentation gap that does not exist (e.g. #103,
+    # whose only failed pre-merge check was Docstring Coverage 0.00% on a changeset of YAML
+    # manifests, a bash test and Markdown).
+    #
+    # Keep the check as an advisory WARNING — CodeRabbit still reports coverage — instead of
+    # a hard merge ERROR. Mirrors devantler-tech/ksail#6145, which made the same change for
+    # the same un-scopeable-metric reason.
