Option A — Upgrade to fixed release\npip install stripe==14.4.0a2\nWhen NOT to use: Do not apply this fix if the CI environment does not require Coveralls integration.\n\n

Why This Fix Works in Production

Trigger: Code coverage reports have stopped being generated in CI, affecting visibility into test coverage.
Mechanism: The COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN was not correctly passed in the CI workflow
Why the fix works: Fixes the condition for running Coveralls in the CI workflow by ensuring the COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN is passed correctly. (first fixed release: 14.4.0a2).

Production impact:

If left unfixed, the same config can fail only in production (env differences), causing startup failures or partial feature outages.

Why This Breaks in Prod

Shows up under Python 3.10 in real deployments (not just unit tests).
The COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN was not correctly passed in the CI workflow
Production symptom (often without a traceback): Code coverage reports have stopped being generated in CI, affecting visibility into test coverage.
