What happens if the specified minimum coverage is lower than the coverage in the environment?

When the specified minimum coverage is lower than the coverage in the environment, the existing coverage in that environment is applied. This means that the codebase already meets or surpasses the minimum requirements set for coverage, allowing the deployment or integration processes to continue without interruption.

This situation reflects a common configuration within continuous integration and delivery where existing coverage is leveraged to ensure that the project maintains a certain standard. If the coverage is higher than what is needed, it indicates that sufficient testing has already been conducted, and thus the focus remains on maintaining that higher quality standard rather than enforcing stricter requirements.

In scenarios where the specified minimum coverage is higher, different protocols might apply, such as flagging the environment for review or potentially impacting workflows, but those situations do not pertain to the case of established coverage exceeding requirements.
