It was lifted on 2026-08-18 to produce a bot pull request on demand, which is the only way to observe whether CodeRabbit auto-reviews one. The observation is in: across 16 bot pull requests it posted a CodeRabbit status on exactly one, #56, which is the one asked for by hand, while all 8 human pull requests in the same window got one automatically. Raised with their support. The comment also records something I got wrong twice while this was off. The window restricts creating branches, not updating them: updateNotScheduled defaults to true, so existing pull requests are still rebased outside it. That matters because required checks are strict, so every merge puts the others behind, and I had been holding this change back on the belief that restoring it would freeze them until Monday. It would not.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Renovate configuration enables weekly branch creation before 07:00 on Mondays. It documents updates to existing branches, a CodeRabbit bot pull-request test, support escalation, scheduling cost, and the absence of manual batch processing. ChangesRenovate scheduling
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The weekly Renovate window is restored, but its schedule uses deprecated syntax that may lose support in a future Renovate major release; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to switch to cron syntax. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

The limits added yesterday were taken from one run's medians, and two of them were below what the suite normally does. `Seed every app's config and secrets` got four minutes and then timed out, failing #77, a pull request that changes nothing but a comment in renovate.json5. Resized from seventeen samples across every recent passing run, at four to six times the worst case rather than a small multiple of the median: step worst was now Set up rootless Podman 283s 6 10 Wait for containers 179s 5 7 Seed configs 82s 4 8 Run integration tests 279s 9 12 Pull container images 73s 6 12 Start stack 101s 5 10 Wire connections 71s 4 10 Install xmlstarlet 70s 3 5 Most are back to what they were before I touched them, which is the honest outcome: those values already accounted for a variance that a single run does not show. What the change was actually for survives. Every step is still bounded, where before four of them were not, and `Install xmlstarlet` still retries. That is what stops a hung apt spending the whole budget. A step limit is there to catch a step that has hung, not to police how slow a busy runner is, and sizing them near the observed maximum inverts that.

Superseded by #82, which carries this commit unchanged alongside the Renovate lookup fix and the Jellyfin TODO. Combined into one pull request because strict checks make each merge invalidate the next, so three separate ones would have cost three suite cycles. |

`ensure_jellyfin_connection` was called with `|| true` in `wire_arr_app`, so a failure left an arr app without its Jellyfin connection while `make wire_connections` still reported success. The Prowlarr path in the same file already collects failures into `PROWLARR_FAILED` for exactly this reason; the Jellyfin path now does the same. `wire_arr_app` returns whether its own Jellyfin connection actually succeeded, and the dispatch loop collects the arr apps that missed it into a new `JELLYFIN_FAILED` array, reported once every job has finished. The legitimate skips inside `ensure_jellyfin_connection` (Jellyfin disabled, no API key yet, connection already there, app doesn't support it) still return 0 on purpose and are not reported as failures. Pulling the actual logs from both CI runs that hit test_jellyfin_connection_matches_what_the_app_supports[lidarr] (GitHub Actions runs 32176749677 on #72 and 32179005406 on #77, both shortly after the Jellyfin 10.11.10 bump merged unattended in #76) shows the same failure both times: lidarr gets through its WebUI login and both download clients, then jellyfin_host_for logs "WARNING: Jellyfin is running but not reachable from this container" and gives up. That function tried each candidate host once, with a 5 second cap each, unlike almost every other first boot readiness check in this file, which retries for up to 180s. It is now wrapped in this file's own retry helper the same way, up to 120s, following detect_jellyfin_base_url's existing pattern of setting a variable as a side effect since retry() only checks exit status, not output. docs/TODO.md is rewritten rather than closed: the fix has not yet been checked against a real run, since marking this pull request ready and commenting /run-tests is left to a person.

….2's login response (#91) * Record that a rate limited review reports green Three pull requests merged with no review on 2026-08-19. CodeRabbit reports through the legacy commit status API, which offers only error, failure, pending and success, so an exhausted quota resolves to success with the description "Review rate limited". Nothing reading the status can tell that apart from success with "Review completed". #86, #87 and #88 all ended there with no "Review completed" in their status histories, while #82, #85 and #90 have one. Also drops the "3/hour" quota figure from the bullet above it, which the review on #90 contradicts with "up to 10 included reviews per hour; 5 remain", and points that bullet at the new item rather than restating the same observation twice. * Report missed Jellyfin connections, and retry the probe that races it `ensure_jellyfin_connection` was called with `|| true` in `wire_arr_app`, so a failure left an arr app without its Jellyfin connection while `make wire_connections` still reported success. The Prowlarr path in the same file already collects failures into `PROWLARR_FAILED` for exactly this reason; the Jellyfin path now does the same. `wire_arr_app` returns whether its own Jellyfin connection actually succeeded, and the dispatch loop collects the arr apps that missed it into a new `JELLYFIN_FAILED` array, reported once every job has finished. The legitimate skips inside `ensure_jellyfin_connection` (Jellyfin disabled, no API key yet, connection already there, app doesn't support it) still return 0 on purpose and are not reported as failures. Pulling the actual logs from both CI runs that hit test_jellyfin_connection_matches_what_the_app_supports[lidarr] (GitHub Actions runs 32176749677 on #72 and 32179005406 on #77, both shortly after the Jellyfin 10.11.10 bump merged unattended in #76) shows the same failure both times: lidarr gets through its WebUI login and both download clients, then jellyfin_host_for logs "WARNING: Jellyfin is running but not reachable from this container" and gives up. That function tried each candidate host once, with a 5 second cap each, unlike almost every other first boot readiness check in this file, which retries for up to 180s. It is now wrapped in this file's own retry helper the same way, up to 120s, following detect_jellyfin_base_url's existing pattern of setting a variable as a side effect since retry() only checks exit status, not output. docs/TODO.md is rewritten rather than closed: the fix has not yet been checked against a real run, since marking this pull request ready and commenting /run-tests is left to a person. * Accept qBittorrent 5.2.2's login response, not just 5.1.4's test_qbittorrent_api_login and test_qbittorrent_web_session_login asserted status_code == 200 and a body of "Ok.", which is what qBittorrent 5.1.4 answers. 5.2.2 answers a successful login with 204 and an empty body instead, so both assertions failed and PR #83 was correctly red, but that left open whether authentication still worked at all under 5.2.2. Checked directly rather than guessing: ran standalone qBittorrent containers of both 5.1.4 and 5.2.2 with podman, using the same image reference PR #83 proposes, and posted to /api/v2/auth/login from inside each container's own network namespace, bypassing nginx entirely. Both versions set a real session cookie and both let that cookie through to an authenticated GET /api/v2/app/version afterward, so login still works under 5.2.2. Two things changed: the status (200 to 204, empty body) and the cookie's own name, from a bare "SID" on 5.1.4 to a port suffixed "QBT_SID_<port>" on 5.2.2, confirmed by running the WebUI on a non-default port and watching the cookie name track it. test_auth.py now accepts any 2xx status and requires a cookie whose name contains "SID" with a real value, dropping only the exact 200 and the "Ok." body that upstream is free to change. The status check stays, since a cookie check alone would let an error response that happened to set a cookie pass. This passes against both versions, confirmed with the same two probe containers. scripts/rotate-passwords.sh's qbittorrent_api_ok had the same literal "200" check, used to confirm a rotated password logs in; it now accepts any 2xx for the same reason. Grepped the rest of tests/ and scripts/ for other places asserting on the qBittorrent login status or its body; nothing else does, so nothing else needed changing. Removed the probe containers and the digest only image pulled for this afterward, verified with podman ps -a. docs/TODO.md's qBittorrent item is resolved and removed. * Stop a failed download client wiring reporting as Jellyfin's wire_arr_app returned its Jellyfin status directly, and the dispatch loop read any non-zero job status as a missing Jellyfin connection. The three calls before it (ensure_arr_host_prereqs, ensure_qbittorrent_client, ensure_sabnzbd_client) are unguarded, so under set -e any one of them failing kills the job before the Jellyfin call is reached, and the summary would then name that app under Jellyfin and tell the reader to re-run once Jellyfin is up, which would not fix it. The Jellyfin case now returns a dedicated status, so the loop can tell the two apart, and a job that died earlier is collected in ARR_JOB_FAILED and reported as what it is. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X8GXVNcBeFbVPQtLSbCUGH * Address the review, and fix the port Jellyfin's own setup dialled Three findings from the review, all real: qbittorrent_api_ok accepted any 2xx without looking at the session cookie. Confirmed live against 5.1.4: a refused login also answers 200, with the body "Fails." and no cookie, so a status-only check passed a password qBittorrent had just rejected. The old exact-200 check had the same hole. Require the cookie, whose name is SID on 5.1.4 and QBT_SID_<port> on 5.2.2. rotate_qbittorrent's own login and setPreferences calls ignored their status entirely, so the rotation could rewrite every consumer's credential after qBittorrent refused it; both are checked now and abort instead. ensure_jellyfin_connection waited up to 120s for reachability before asking whether the app supports a MediaBrowser connection at all. Readarr does not, so an unreachable Jellyfin made it sit through the wait and then get reported as having missed a connection it was never going to make. The capability question is answered first now. Its two API reads were unguarded. The function is called in an || list, which suspends set -e inside it, so a failed read carried on with an empty value and returned a confident looking skip, the exact silent success this branch exists to remove. Both are checked. Separately, detect_jellyfin_base_url dialled JELLYFIN_HTTP_PORT from inside the jellyfin container, but the compose file publishes the service as ${JELLYFIN_HTTP_PORT}:8096, so that variable is the host side and the server listens on 8096. They coincide at the default and the bug stays invisible; with a remapped published port it dialled a port nothing listens on, so first-run setup burned the 180s retry and was skipped on every start. Confirmed live: it now completes the wizard and creates the API key. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X8GXVNcBeFbVPQtLSbCUGH * Encode the stored qBittorrent password on the rotation login This password is read back from Sonarr's database, so it is whatever a person once typed rather than a generated value. A raw -d body let an `&` split it into extra parameters, a `+` arrive as a space, and a literal `%26` decode to `&`, each of which sends a password that is not the stored one and fails the login for a reason nothing in the output explains. The validation request is left alone deliberately: it only ever sees a generated password from a restricted character set. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X8GXVNcBeFbVPQtLSbCUGH

The window was lifted in #60 to produce a bot pull request on demand, which was the only way to observe whether CodeRabbit auto-reviews one. That question is answered, so it goes back.
What the experiment found
CodeRabbitstatus presentThe single exception is #56, which is the one I asked for by hand with
@coderabbitai review, and it answered in under three minutes. Four of the human statuses read "Review rate limited", which is what rules out quota as the explanation: a throttled review still reports a status, whereas the bot PRs report nothing at all. Raised with CodeRabbit support.A correction recorded in the comment
I held this change back twice on the belief that restoring the window would freeze the open bot PRs until Monday, because strict checks mean every merge puts the others behind and they would need a rebase. That was wrong.
updateNotScheduleddefaults totrue, so the schedule restricts creating branches, not updating existing ones, and Renovate keeps rebasing open pull requests outside the window. The comment in the file now says so, since the mistake is an easy one to repeat.Not changed
