The record

Purpose: PHP_CodeCoverage is a library for collecting, processing, and rendering PHP code coverage information.
Installation: The library can be added as a local project dependency with Composer using `composer require phpunit/php-code-coverage`.
Development use: For development-only use, the README recommends adding it as a development dependency with `composer require --dev phpunit/php-code-coverage`.
Coverage metrics: The PHPUnit manual says the library supports line, branch, path, function and method, class and trait coverage, and the CRAP index.
Coverage drivers: The package suggests PCOV for line coverage and Xdebug for line, branch and path coverage.
HTML reports: HTML reports provide directory and file views with line-by-line highlighting, plus class, trait and function views organized by namespace.
Parallel runs: Serialized coverage files from separate test runs can be merged with phpcov to produce a combined report.
Patch analysis: The phpcov patch-coverage command calculates coverage for changed lines in a unified diff.
Integration: The repository describes the library as a first-party dependency of PHPUnit.
Security reporting: The library follows PHPUnit's security policy; vulnerability reports should be sent through coordinated disclosure rather than public GitHub issues, discussions or pull requests.
License: The package is licensed under BSD-3-Clause.
Runtime requirements: The current package requires PHP 8.4 or later and the DOM, libxml, mbstring and xmlwriter extensions.
Coverage limitation: The PHPUnit manual says PCOV supports line coverage only; branch and path coverage require data collected with Xdebug.
