Is your run_tests.py executing 'python ... -m test ...' in a subprocess?

Have you done the necessary groundwork to enable multi-process coverage
tracking?  I think not -- I don't see '-p' passed to 'coverage run', nor
a 'coverage combine' command in your Makefile.

Do check the documentation:
- https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subprocess.html (which
  page surprises me by not mentioning 'coverage combine', TBH)
- https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmd.html#combining-data-files

HTH,
