 ## Caveats
 
 - **Fork PRs are not supported.** Pull requests from forks don't have write access to the base repository, so the action cannot upload coverage. When a fork PR is detected, the action exits gracefully with a notice — it won't fail your CI.
+- **Merge queue runs are skipped.** Coverage should be uploaded for PRs and the default branch, making merge queue uploads unnecessary. The action logs a warning and exits successfully.
