+      # -   Multiple `publish_coverage_pr` runs for the same PR (e.g., triggered by successive pushes to the PR) can complete close together and race to push to the same `pr-<number>` branch. As only the last publisher can win a non-fast-forward push, we retry the full checkout-copy-commit cycle against a freshly fetched branch tip on rejection, rather than attempting to rebase or merge a stale commit onto it (which risks conflicts, as the copied coverage report files are wholesale replaced on each run).
