Description
Coverage object accepts both source paths and package names.
However, the currently captured schema does not record package names even when the source is specified in the form of the package names - only traced files are recorded.
It would be very helpful for reconciling coverage from multiple identical files located in different (unknown) locations on the file system, if Analysis object could provide package_name in addition to filename.

Research direction
Locate the Coverage object and Analysis schema, then trace how package-name sources are handled during coverage capture and how traced files become records. The work is done when captured analysis records include package_name alongside filename for package-based sources, with coverage tests verifying the behavior.
