• add -a, --apikey to login and init while preserving positional compatibility
• add exact-once, attribution, input-resolution, ordering, and API-key privacy regressions

Test plan

• bun run --cwd cli test:analytics
• bun run --cwd cli test:authenticated-command-invocation
• bun run cli:check
• git diff --check

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 52 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan. You completed 62 included PR reviews in the past 7 days; at that activity level, included reviews refill at 1 review per hour.

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 CLI now supports --apikey for login and init, normalizes command inputs, and defers invocation analytics until authentication returns a validated API key. Tests cover precedence, lifecycle ordering, authorization, and duplicate prevention.

Changes

Authenticated CLI invocation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Authentication input resolution cli/src/auth/command-input.ts, docs/superpowers/specs/..., docs/superpowers/plans/...	Login and init inputs are normalized. API-key precedence, legacy positional compatibility, app-ID handling, and explicit-key detection are defined.
Deferred invocation analytics cli/src/analytics/track.ts, cli/test/test-analytics.mjs, docs/superpowers/specs/..., docs/superpowers/plans/...	Login and init invocation context is stored before authentication and emitted once after flushing with a validated API key.
Command authentication wiring cli/src/index.ts, cli/src/login.ts, cli/src/init/command.ts, docs/superpowers/plans/...	The commands receive --apikey. Login returns the validated key. Init resolves command inputs and flushes deferred analytics after authentication.
Focused validation and test wiring cli/test/test-authenticated-command-invocation.mjs, cli/package.json, docs/superpowers/specs/..., docs/superpowers/plans/...	Focused tests and package scripts verify input precedence, command wiring, validation ordering, and exact-once telemetry.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 26854

When init is run without an explicit API key but with a saved key, the new credential handling can ignore the saved key and cause authenticated initialization to fail. Fix this fallback behavior before merging.

- Around line 5294-5296: Preserve saved-key fallback in the init command by
avoiding conversion of an absent command key to a value that prevents the
existing findSavedKey(true) fallback from running. Update the commandInput
handling or fallback around resolveInitCommandInput so empty or missing
credentials use the saved key, and add a regression test covering init without
command credentials when a saved key exists.

from level-three headings to level-two headings, using ## consistently for these
