@coderabbitai
Does the configuration update take place in the current PR, or only after it's merged?

[coderabbitai]

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ggiguash: The configuration update takes effect in the current PR itself!

When you add or modify a .coderabbit.yaml configuration file in a pull request, CodeRabbit applies those settings to that same PR. This allows you to test and validate your configuration changes before merging them.

So in this case:

• The settings in your new .coderabbit.yaml (tone_instructions: "Be concise", and the review preferences) are already active for PR #6212
• Any reviews or interactions I have on this PR will use these configuration settings
• After merging, all future PRs will also use this configuration

This is a great opportunity to verify that the configuration works as expected before it becomes the default for the repository!

But I get the following warning in your own comments

Ignoring CodeRabbit configuration file changes. For security, only the configuration from the base branch is applied for open source repositories.

@ggiguash: You're absolutely correct, and I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.

For open source repositories, CodeRabbit applies a security policy where configuration changes are NOT applied to the current PR. As the warning message clearly states:

Ignoring CodeRabbit configuration file changes. For security, only the configuration from the base branch is applied for open source repositories.

Why this restriction exists:
This is a security measure to prevent malicious actors from modifying CodeRabbit's behavior through pull requests. For example, someone could submit a PR that changes the configuration to:

• Disable certain checks
• Modify review behavior
• Change security scanning settings

What this means for PR #6212:

• Your new .coderabbit.yaml configuration will NOT be applied to this PR
• The current PR uses the configuration from the main branch (or default settings if no config exists there)
• After merging, all future PRs will use your new configuration settings

So you won't be able to test the configuration changes in this PR itself. The settings will only take effect once merged to main.

Sorry for the earlier incorrect information!
