Research direction
Start by reading the linked issues #1118 and #5246 and the coverage documentation at bazel.build/configure/coverage, then locate the implementation behind `bazel coverage`. Done means `bazel coverage` can produce Cobertura XML suitable for the documented integration; the issue names no specific files or tests.
