Summary: The contributor metrics still listed the Codecov comment bot as a contributor, even though known bots are meant to be excluded. This change teaches the bot filter to recognize it. The next analytics refresh will drop the existing entry from the data.

---

Adds /^codecov-commenter$/i to BOT_PATTERNS in scripts/lib/contributor-tracker.mjs. The generated static/data/contributor-metrics.json is intentionally untouched; the analytics refresh workflow regenerates it and will drop the codecov-commenter entry.

Closes #1601

Summary: This change adds the Codecov comment bot to the list of automated accounts that the contributor metrics ignore, so it stops appearing as a human contributor. I checked that the metrics generator actually uses this list and rebuilds the data from scratch each run, so the stale entry will disappear on the next refresh as the PR says. One small gap: the test that lists every recognized bot was not updated to include the new one.

correctness

• (low, in-scope) scripts/contributor-tracker.test.js:16-38 enumerates every entry in BOT_PATTERNS by name; the new /^codecov-commenter$/i (scripts/lib/contributor-tracker.mjs:35) has no corresponding case. Add "codecov-commenter" to that array so a future edit that drops or loosens the pattern is caught. Verified isBot is the filter used by the generator (scripts/fetch-contributor-metrics.js:54,70) and that aggregateContributions rebuilds people from all events, so the existing entry at static/data/contributor-metrics.json:2255 will drop on the next successful refresh.
• (low, out-of-scope) scripts/fetch-contributors.js:21 and scripts/fetch-hive-history.js:120 keep separate BOT_LOGINS lists that do not include codecov-commenter; those feed other pages and may still show the bot. Backlog, not this PR.

No findings from: security, intent-alignment, style, docs-currency.

Confidence: 5/5 (safe)
