Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

CodeRabbit currently reviews with the default chill profile (visible in the review details on recent PRs, e.g. #10610), and its configuration lives only in the CodeRabbit dashboard. There's no .coderabbit.yaml in the repo, so the active settings aren't visible, versioned or reviewable by contributors.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Switch CodeRabbit to the assertive profile and commit the configuration as a .coderabbit.yaml:

  • profile: assertive for more thorough feedback - as a security-sensitive server with a small maintainer team, catching more in automated review is worth the extra noise
  • replicate the existing dashboard settings (custom pre-merge checks like "Engage In Review Feedback" and "Security Check") into the file, since a committed .coderabbit.yaml takes precedence over the dashboard
  • path_instructions for src/**, spec/** and the generated types/*.d.ts
  • auto_review filters to skip draft and dependabot PRs
Example Use Case
  1. A contributor opens a PR and gets deeper automated review before a maintainer spends time on it
  2. A contributor wants to know why CodeRabbit flagged something and opens .coderabbit.yaml to see the active profile and rules
  3. Changes to review behaviour go through a PR like any other change
Alternatives / Workarounds
  • Flip the profile in the dashboard without committing config. Less friction, but settings stay invisible and untracked.
  • Stay on chill (current state).

Research direction

Read the CodeRabbit configuration reference and inspect the existing dashboard settings before creating .coderabbit.yaml. Confirm that it contains the assertive profile, equivalent pre-merge checks, path instructions for src/, spec/ and types/*.d.ts, and auto-review filters for draft and dependabot PRs.
