+    counter_index(cov) -> String
+
+The COUNTED LINES of a Julia `.cov` file, as `"<line>,<hits>"` — one per line, with a
+`# lines <n>` header naming the source's line count.
+
+Julia writes `Foo.jl.<pid>.cov` as a 9-character counter column, one space, and then **a
+verbatim copy of the source line**. Measured on one 48-file shard payload of
+`ParaLinearAlgebra.jl` (issue #74): 965,565 bytes, of which **815,592 (85.7 %) is that source
+text**, and only 2,134 of 15,181 lines carry a counter at all — the rest are `-`. Since every
+shard emits counters for the WHOLE tree rather than the files it touched, an 8-shard run ships
+eight near-identical copies of the package's source through artifact storage. That exhausted an
+organisation's Actions storage quota, which fails the run at `Shard labels`, before any test.
+
+The index drops both redundancies. Same payload: **15,049 bytes, 64.2× smaller**.
+
+Nothing is lost, because the text is already at the destination: `collect` runs
+`actions/checkout` BEFORE `download-artifact` (it must — Codecov builds the file network from
+the tree), so [`restore_counters`](@ref) rebuilds each `.cov` from the checkout. Verified on
+that artifact: the embedded text is byte-identical to the repo file at the run's `head_sha` for
+48 of 48 files, and the round trip reproduces the original `.cov` byte for byte for 48 of 48.
