Both Coverage and Unittests CI jobs fail at actions/checkout@v6 — not due to any code issue — because XML_SUBMODULE_PAT expired in January 2026. Git cannot authenticate to fetch the PR merge ref, resulting in:

fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

The workflows contain this note:

# XML_SUBMODULE_PAT is a secret token on repository level with repo scope; expires in Jan2026

Required action (repo/org admin):

  • Renew XML_SUBMODULE_PAT at repository secrets settings
  • Verify REPO_AND_READ_PACKAGES_PAT (org-level Dependabot secret) is also still valid

No code changes are needed to fix this — the black reformatting itself is correct.
