@dianakhuang, I see there's a slight issue with removing diff-cover. Some of the testing pipelines are using it to generate coverage reports. Here's an example of how the js-testing pipeline calls are being made to diff-cover:

1. https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/f9148f032fc93bd339fb0ab50afb5cb3b1cdca21/.github/workflows/js-tests.yml#L69C1-L70

2. edx-platform/scripts/generic-ci-tests.sh

   Line 152 in f9148f0

   $TOX paver diff_coverage

3. edx-platform/pavelib/js_test.py

   Lines 109 to 113 in f9148f0

   	def diff_coverage(options):
   	"""
   	Build the diff coverage reports
   	"""
   	compare_branch = options.get('compare_branch', 'origin/master')

4. edx-platform/pavelib/js_test.py

   Lines 135 to 142 in f9148f0

   	sh(
   	"diff-cover {xml_report_str} --diff-range-notation '..' --compare-branch={compare_branch} "
   	"--html-report {diff_html_path}".format(
   	xml_report_str=xml_report_str,
   	compare_branch=compare_branch,
   	diff_html_path=diff_html_path,
   	)
   	)
