Summary

  • Add coverage report generation (Cobertura XML) and artifact upload to the GitHub Actions workflow, matching GitLab CI parity
  • Modernize repo README: fix stale Go version references, add CI/CD section, link to docs site
  • Add CI/CD section to generated project README
  • Add CI/CD files to generated AGENTS.md architecture tree

Test plan

  • Run cookiecutter gh:go-coldbrew/cookiecutter-coldbrew and verify generated project has updated README, AGENTS.md, and workflow
  • Verify GitHub Actions workflow YAML is valid
  • Verify go tool gocover-cobertura works with the tool directive in go.mod

Summary by CodeRabbit

38-44: Coverage artifact upload looks correct.

The coverage conversion and artifact upload integrate well with the existing make test target which generates cover.out. The go tool gocover-cobertura command works because the tool is declared in go.mod's tool directive (as shown in {{cookiecutter.app_name}}/go.mod:5-11).

Consider adding if: always() or if: success() to the coverage steps to control behavior when tests fail—currently the coverage report step will fail if cover.out doesn't exist after a test failure.

💡 Optional: Add conditional execution for coverage steps
     - name: Generate coverage report
+      if: success()
       run: go tool gocover-cobertura < cover.out > cover.xml
     - name: Upload coverage
+      if: success()
       uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
