+/**
+ * compare-coverage.mjs
+ *
+ * Compares Vitest coverage summary files for each app and package
+ * captured at two points, and fails if coverage has regressed.
+ *
+ * Intended for use in CI to prevent pull requests from decreasing test coverage.
+ *
+ * Arguments:
+ *   node compare-coverage.mjs <pr-dir> <baseline-dir>
+ *
+ * Exit codes:
+ *   0  coverage is unchanged or improved
+ *   1  coverage regressed in at least on project (or general script error)
