OpenAI Codex; the exact runtime model identifier is not exposed by this session.

What changed

High-risk PRs currently require the owner label even after a formal bot approval. Accept either owner-approved or the latest submitted coderabbitai[bot] review when it is APPROVED and its commit_id matches the current PR head. API errors and unknown review metadata fail closed.

  • Add validated CodeRabbit settings and repository-specific path instructions.
  • Clarify that only the owner or an explicitly authorized reviewer may apply owner-approved; coding agents must never apply it to their own PRs.
  • Re-evaluate submitted, edited and dismissed reviews through an unprivileged signal and a trusted default-branch evaluator; never check out PR code.
  • On high-risk PR opened/synchronize events, request @coderabbitai review below ten stars, deduplicated by a hidden per-head marker. Only the comment job has issues: write.

How verified

CodeRabbit YAML passed the current official JSON Schema. Whitespace checks passed. Both workflows passed actionlint; 39 simulated scenarios passed (node test-workflows.cjs in the local rollout validation workspace), covering review state/SHA/identity, API failures, races, risk classification, star thresholds and comment deduplication. Application builds and runtime tests were not run because this change only affects review configuration, governance workflows and agent guidance. Remote CI is reported separately; no real account, portal, Telegram, carrier, SMTP, cloud deployment or trading operation was used.

Risk and rollback

The gate changes approval policy; a bot comment/check alone never passes it. The existing default-branch gate remains authoritative until merge, so this PR may require owner action under that policy. Review-event delivery and status publication remain asynchronous: an Actions outage cannot synchronously revoke an old commit status. No owner-approved label, branch protection, ruleset, deployment or runtime configuration is changed. Revert the governance/configuration change to restore the previous policy.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Workflow Updates
    • Pull request risk checks now run after review activity and handle eligible open pull requests in a bounded evaluation.
    • High-risk changes can be approved through an authorized approval label or a current, valid CodeRabbit review.
    • Automated review requests are made only when eligibility checks pass, and repeated requests for the same commit are skipped.
    • Closed pull requests are excluded from risk evaluation, and changes during evaluation are rechecked.
  • Repository Guidance
    • Updated review guidance clarifies who may apply approval labels and adds review and validation checks.

Walkthrough

The pull request configures repository review rules and updates GitHub Actions workflows. Review events can trigger risk evaluation, which checks approval against the current pull request head. A separate job can request a CodeRabbit review when its eligibility checks pass.

Changes: Review policy and risk gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Review policy and signal entry
.coderabbit.yaml, AGENTS.md, .github/workflows/pr-review-signal.yml
The repository config sets review and approval options, and adds repository guidance for approval labels and review checks. A workflow runs for submitted, edited, and dismissed pull request reviews.
Risk evaluation and approval validation
.github/workflows/risk-gate.yml
The risk gate selects pull requests for evaluation and runs bounded parallel checks. For high-risk changes, it accepts the owner-approved label or requires the latest valid CodeRabbit review to approve the current head. It re-reads review data before publishing status and handles pull request closure during evaluation.
Conditional CodeRabbit review requests
.github/workflows/risk-gate.yml
A delayed job checks pull request state, head, changed paths, repository stars, and existing request markers before posting a CodeRabbit review request.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Restrict CodeRabbit approval commands to organization members.

allow_author_approval: false blocks only the pull request author. Non-organization commenters can still use @coderabbitai approve, subject to the configured max_merge_risk: low limit. The risk gate accepts the resulting latest coderabbitai[bot] approval for the current commit.

Enforce authorization for owner-approved.

pr.labels is now the only input used for approved. For a risky PR, this makes risk-gate succeed when an actor who is not authorized by the owner adds owner-approved. Restore an actor or trusted authorization check before accepting the label. The check must allow only the owner or a reviewer explicitly authorized by the owner.
