Conversation

Next review available in: 51 minutes Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available. How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Add a language identifier to the fenced prompt block.
The unlabeled fence triggers markdownlint MD040. Use text (or another suitable language) to keep documentation lint-clean.

Un-ignore .claude/commands/ so project slash commands are checked into the repo and available to anyone who clones it (personal .claude/settings*.json stay ignored). Adds the /adversarial-review <PR#> command, which drives the flow in docs/adversarial-review.md.

What
Adds
docs/adversarial-review.md— a documented method for reviewing high-risk PRs where every finding carries a reproduction or it doesn't ship.Why
We've been running this flow ad hoc on recent PRs (span-extraction, consistency guidelines, the memory-hooks seam) and it's caught real correctness bugs that green CI missed — fail-open compliance seams, silent signal inversions, crashes on realistic malformed inputs. This writes the method down so it's repeatable.
