Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@don-petry, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 41 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

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.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now prefer GH_PAT_DON_PETRY for GitHub authentication while retaining GH_PAT_WORKFLOWS as a fallback. Reusable workflow interfaces, token guards, dispatch steps, reporting jobs, and PR review secret wiring were updated, with Bats coverage added for PR review steps.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new BATS test file reusable-secrets.bats to verify that the credential fallback wiring for the pr-review-mention-reusable.yml workflow correctly uses the canonical fallback secret across several steps. The review feedback suggests a best practice improvement to load the helper library inside a setup() function rather than at the top level of the test file to ensure a clean environment for each test case.

Pull request overview

This PR updates this repository’s GitHub Actions workflows to prefer the org-wide canonical PAT secret (GH_PAT_DON_PETRY) while retaining GH_PAT_WORKFLOWS as a fallback, enabling retirement of the legacy secret without changing runtime behavior.

Changes:

  • Migrates bare secrets.GH_PAT_WORKFLOWS usages to ${{ secrets.GH_PAT_DON_PETRY || secrets.GH_PAT_WORKFLOWS }} across the targeted workflows.
  • Fixes the auto-rebase-reusable.yml HAS_PAT boolean guard to use the combined fallback expression with required parentheses.
  • Adds a bats test to pin the fallback wiring for GH_TOKEN inside pr-review-mention-reusable.yml.

…tisfy actionlint

Commit b225b70 removed these declarations in response to a CodeRabbit suggestion,
but actionlint requires every secret referenced in a step env block to be declared
in workflow_call.secrets — callers using secrets:inherit is not enough for static
analysis. Restored as required:false in all 6 affected reusables so actionlint
can resolve the type and the Lint check passes again.
