   You can also pass spec paths to run a subset. The `lint` dependency group is
   only needed for lint checks; test-only CI jobs install with `BUNDLE_WITHOUT=lint`.

   The final `CI` check depends on all test shards and lint, and finalizes coverage reporting.
   Repository rulesets can require this single check instead of individual matrix jobs.
