What

Ports the review behaviors from effect-agent's packages/pr-review that Maple's reviewer was missing.

  • record_finding: the reviewer saves each finding once it has checked it. The saved list is shared by the pass and its close-out. submit_review adds the saved findings and drops restatements (same file, category, line within 3, similar title). If no report lands, the turn runner files the saved findings itself as a partial review instead of failing it.
  • Deadline visibility: the pr-review policy and the review_files workers use runStatus: "appended". Each model call ends with elapsed time and a warning at 80% of any limit. The prompt says to submit when the warning appears. The line is only added to the outgoing prompt, so the cached prefix is unchanged.
  • Failure reasons: the turn runner classifies why a pass stopped from the typed cause. Reasons are time_limit, step_limit, context_limit, stuck, model_error, agent_error or no_report. The reason is stored as the prefix of pr_reviews.error. The PR comment and check run show one fixed sentence per reason, never the raw cause. Rows written before this change keep the generic message.
  • Summary comment: adds a collapsed "Copy all findings" block (comment only; the check run already has annotations). Also adds a "Files not reviewed" list, filled from the coverage tracker when a review submits with diffs unread.
  • Ignored paths: the coverage gate now reads the kickoff's Never review these paths: line. It no longer refuses a submit over files the settings exclude.
  • automaticReviewLimit (optional, 1 to 50, new "Reviews per pull request" field in settings): once a PR has that many completed or failed reviews, pushes stop starting new ones. The head gets a skipped "Automatic reviews paused" check. @maple review still works.
  • Sandbox: the clone sets core.symlinks false, so a committed symlink is checked out as a file holding its target and no command can follow it out of the checkout.

Also fixed

GithubConnectService.setPrReviewConfig rebuilt the config field by field and dropped feedbackScope. The "Learn from feedback" setting could never be saved. It now keeps feedbackScope and the new limit, with a round-trip test.

Reviewer notes

  • No migration. The new config field is inside the pr_review_config jsonb, unreviewed is inside report_json, and the skip reason is a text column.
  • The per-PR limit counts every review of the PR, @maple review ones included. Nothing records how a review was started.
  • record_finding is offered on every review run. Callers that pass no turn state (tests, older call sites) get a ledger for that run only.

Testing

  • Typecheck: domain, backend, ai, api, web, sandbox.
  • oxfmt and oxlint on the changed files.
  • Vitest on the affected suites (backend pr-review + GithubConnectService, domain pr-review, apps/ai/src/chat, sandbox). New tests cover the ledger and merge, the failure classifier, ignored-path coverage, the per-PR limit, the new summary sections, and the config round-trip.
  • Not run: bun run --cwd apps/sandbox verify:image (needs Docker), a live review against a real PR, and a browser check of the new settings field.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Set an optional limit of 1–50 automatic reviews per pull request. Once reached, new automatic reviews are skipped; manually requested reviews can still run.
    • Review summaries show files that weren’t reviewed and include a copyable block of findings.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Findings saved during a review are included even if the review ends before submission.
    • Repository-ignored files are excluded from review coverage, and duplicate findings are omitted when saved findings are combined with submitted findings.
    • Review failure notices use clear, consistent messages instead of raw error details.

…why a review failed

Ports the parts of effect-agent's pr-review that Maple's reviewer lacked:

- record_finding saves each established finding to a ledger shared by the pass and its
  close-out; submit_review merges them, and a turn that never submits files them as a partial.
- The review and its fan-out workers get the engine's run-status line (elapsed time, warning
  at 80%), so they submit before the deadline.
- A failed review stores a typed reason (time_limit, step_limit, context_limit, stuck,
  model_error, ...) and the comment and check say it in fixed words.
- The summary comment gains a "Copy all findings" block and a "Files not reviewed" list.
- The coverage gate no longer demands files the repository's ignorePaths exclude.
- automaticReviewLimit caps the reviews pushes start per pull request.
- The sandbox checks symlinks out as plain files, so none can be followed.

Also fixes setPrReviewConfig dropping feedbackScope on save.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates pull request review finding capture, partial submissions, failure reporting, and automatic review limits. It also changes review-model stream handling and close-out evidence limits, and configures sandbox checkouts to treat committed symlinks as files.

Changes

Pull request review flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Review contracts and coverage
packages/domain/src/http/pr-review.ts, packages/domain/src/http/pr-review.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/findings.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/findings.test.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-coverage.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-coverage.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.ts
Finding normalization and merging are exposed through shared helpers. Review coverage excludes ignored paths, which the backend renders in kickoff instructions.
Save and submit review findings
apps/ai/src/chat/budgets.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/agents.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/budgets.test.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-fanout.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/prompts.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-ledger.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/run.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/tools.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/tools.test.ts, apps/ai/scripts/pr-review-local.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts
Review turns share coverage and a findings ledger. The tools save and merge findings into submissions. If a pass ends without a submitted report, the runner can submit saved findings and unread paths as a partial review.
Review execution and failure classification
apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-failure.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/review-failure.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.test.ts
The runner classifies failure causes and uses reason-specific failure messages. Backend failure notices display mapped copy when a reason is available.
Configure and enforce automatic review limits
packages/domain/src/http/pr-review.ts, apps/web/src/components/integrations/pr-review-settings.tsx, packages/backend/src/services/integrations/vcs/vendor/github/GithubConnectService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/integrations/vcs/vendor/github/__tests__/GithubConnectService.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.test.ts
The settings form validates an optional limit from 1 to 50, and GitHub configuration persistence retains it. The review service skips unrequested reviews when the configured limit is reached; requested reviews bypass the limit.
Report review status and results
packages/domain/src/http/pr-review.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewService.test.ts
Review comments can list unreviewed files and include a copyable findings block. Failure notices can display mapped failure copy.

Model stream and close-out handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Coalesce unattended review-model deltas
apps/ai/src/platform/coalesce-deltas.ts, apps/ai/src/platform/coalesce-deltas.test.ts, apps/ai/src/platform/genai-spans.ts, apps/ai/src/platform/model-call-span.test.ts, apps/ai/src/platform/Llm.ts
The stream transformer combines adjacent matching deltas within a 4,000-character bound. Instrumentation enables coalescing for review-model streams.
Bound close-out tool evidence
apps/ai/src/chat/close-out.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/close-out.test.ts
Close-out transcripts retain recent tool calls within a 200,000-character evidence budget and report omitted calls.

Sandbox checkout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Check out committed symlinks as files
apps/sandbox/src/checkout.ts, apps/sandbox/src/checkout.test.ts
The clone script disables Git symlink handling before checkout, and a test checks for that configuration.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7c742

A quick succession of pushes can start more automatic reviews than the configured limit. This is a bounded risk to accept or address before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7c742

The changes affect whether pull-request files receive review and how incomplete reviews are reported. A possible way for pull-request text to influence file exclusions needs confirmation before the coverage safeguard can be relied on.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The coverage gate parses an exclusion directive from kickoff text without authenticating its origin. If PR-authored multiline text can place that directive before the repository setting, a PR author could cause changed files to be treated as excluded and bypass the unread-file safeguard. Input normalization and effective exploitability remain unconfirmed.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If a forged exclusion directive reaches the kickoff parser, its effect is limited to the affected review turn but could exclude every matching changed path from that turn's unread-file gate. It does not itself change repository settings.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The potential path is PR-controlled multiline text in the kickoff, followed by first-match parsing of an apparent repository exclusion directive, then removal of matching files from unread coverage. Whether the PR provider permits the necessary text to survive into that position remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Repository settings supply the intended ignore patterns, but the coverage gate subsequently parses patterns from rendered text rather than receiving that configuration as a separately identified value.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The sandbox change strengthens checkout containment: the clone remains root-owned and read-only to the command-running account, while committed symlinks are no longer materialized as traversable links.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Pass configured exclusions to the coverage tracker as structured, trusted configuration instead of recovering them by first-match parsing of text that also carries PR content.

…ose them out

The review of this PR died on the engine's 65,536-event ceiling after 126 model calls,
because every streamed reasoning token is a run event, and its close-out died before its
first call because the whole 149-call transcript could not fit 128k tokens.

- The review model joins consecutive streamed deltas of one part (up to 4,000 chars)
  before the engine sees them, which also keeps calls under the 16,384-part response limit.
- The close-out's tool transcript is capped at 200k characters, newest calls kept, with a
  count of what was left out.
- Failure classification reads every failure in a cause, not only the first, and maps the
  engine's event and part ceilings to step_limit.
- Saved and submitted findings are sorted by severity before the 50-finding cap.
- The per-PR review limit no longer pauses a head that already has a review row.

…dowing options

The streamText callback's own `options` parameter shadowed the instrumentation setting, so
the review model never joined deltas. Renamed, with a test through instrumentLanguageModel
that fails on the shadowed read.

* docs: fix stale references and tighten prose across docs/

Audited every doc under docs/ against the current code. Fixed moved
paths (MCP, chat and ChatSession now live in apps/ai), renamed symbols,
wrong commands and env vars, and claims the code no longer backs
(self-hosted ClickHouse settings table, service map edge derivation,
local store dirty-shutdown behavior, GitHub App permissions, Postgres
client setup, Electric shape registry). Dated investigations and plans
keep their findings; some gain a one-line verified status note.

Prose tightened throughout and em dashes removed.

* skills: fix wrong instructions and stale references in Maple skills

Service map edges come from joining a client span to its child server
span, not peer.service; the audit, style and telemetry-conventions
skills now say so. Language style skills get real SDK APIs and package
names (Rust 0.32 types and features, Go log exporter path, Kotlin
extension artifact, C# AddSource, Node ESM hook). Onboarding points at
the public @maple-dev/effect-sdk and the maple_pk_ ingest key. The
internal telemetry-conventions skill gets current paths, cache keys,
ingest rejection status rules and MV columns.

The dashboard widgets skill is regenerated from dashboard-schema-doc.ts,
which had drifted from the committed file.

* fix(ai): import agent errors from effect-agent/agent-error

#1064 landed after #1062 renamed @effect-agent/* to effect-agent, so

… conventions page (#1066)

* docs(landing): correct service map and other stale claims on the OTel conventions page

The Service Map section told customers that peer.service draws edges.
Edges come from a Client/Producer span joined to its child Server/Consumer
span in the callee, so the section now explains trace-context propagation,
db.system.name + db.namespace database nodes, and external nodes keyed on
messaging, rpc and server.address.

Other fixes checked against the code: retention is 30 days for traces and
logs and 90 for metrics; cache spans are detected by cache.system or
cache.result only; the error banner collapses past 3 lines or 160
characters; log rows show every chip; ingest converts status codes; keys
live under Settings > Ingestion; platform badges limited to what exists.

* fix(ai): import agent errors from effect-agent/agent-error

#1064 landed after #1062 renamed @effect-agent/* to effect-agent, so
review-failure.ts still imported the retired @effect-agent/core path and
broke typecheck and the apps/ai test lane on main.

* docs(landing): retention by plan, keep private keys out of source, tag diagram fences

Retention is plan-based (7 days Starter, 30 Startup, custom Enterprise),
not a flat table. Server setups load the private key from a secret or
env var; only the public key is safe to ship. Bare code fences get a
text language.
