How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the 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.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The lab script still permits a known signing-secret fallback and an empty vault key, while CI can pass despite secret-scanning failures; merging could enable forged tokens or allow secrets to evade enforcement. The PR is not merge-ready until these fail-open paths and the associated runner and credential-loading issues are corrected. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

In `@run_lab_api_v2.sh`:
- Line 6: Update the credential exports for AGENT_ALPHA_JWT_SECRET and
AGENT_ALPHA_VAULT_KEY to fail closed when unset: remove the embedded JWT
fallback and empty-string default, validate that each required variable is
non-empty, and terminate startup with a clear error if either credential is
missing. Preserve successful startup when both credentials are provided.
- Around line 3-4: Update the .env loading block in run_lab_api_v2.sh so sourced
values act only as defaults: preserve any environment variables already supplied
by the caller while applying unset values from .env. Keep automatic export
behavior for newly loaded defaults.

GitHub Actions Node24 default runtime June 16 2026 Node20 removal September 16 2026
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions has established a clear timeline for migrating from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24 [1][2]. As of August 14, 2026, the migration process is in progress [1]. The key milestones are as follows: 1. Default Runtime Switch (June 16, 2026): Effective June 16, 2026, GitHub Actions runners began using Node.js 24 as the default runtime for JavaScript actions [1][3]. 2. Node.js 20 Removal (September 16, 2026): Node.js 20 is scheduled to be removed from GitHub Actions runners on September 16, 2026 [2]. To manage this transition, GitHub provided an opt-out mechanism for users who needed more time to migrate their actions: - Temporary Fallback: Users can continue to use Node.js 20 after the June 16, 2026, default switch by setting the environment variable ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true [1][4]. - Limitations: This opt-out mechanism is temporary and will only remain functional until the full removal of Node.js 20 in the fall of 2026 (specifically September 16, 2026) [1][2]. Users are encouraged to update their actions to support Node.js 24 to ensure continued compatibility after the September removal date [1][5].

Pin a Node24-compatible checkout action in all three workflows
Replace actions/checkout@v4 with actions/checkout@3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 at all three sites. Retain persist-credentials: false. Node20 removal is scheduled for September 16, 2026, which can stop these workflows from running on affected runners.

Keep secret scanning blocking and ensure runner compatibility.
Remove continue-on-error: true so detected secrets or scan failures fail the quality gate. Also ensure all matching self-hosted ARM64 runners use Actions Runner 2.327.1 or later, as required by the pinned action version.
