Review skipped

Review was skipped due to path filters

⛔ Files ignored due to path filters (2)

• website/blog/2026/05/05-11-gardener-dashboard-1840.md is excluded by !website/**
• website/blog/2026/05/_index.md is excluded by !website/**

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.
