sfp during validation checks the apex test coverage of a package depending on the [package type](https://docs.flxbl.io/flxbl/sfp/concepts/supported-package-types). This is beneficial so that you dont run into any coverage issues while deploying into higher environments or building an unlocked package. \\

However, there could be situations where the test coverage calculation is flaky , sfp provides you with an option to turn the coverage validation off.
