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 workflow now redispatches non-bot Ideas discussions without author-association restrictions. A new preparation job resolves inputs before invoking the pinned reusable ideation workflow and converts string boolean outputs back to booleans.

Changes

Ideation workflow dispatch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Discussion redispatch eligibility .github/workflows/feature-ideation.yml	The redispatch condition removes the author-association allowlist and retains the non-bot check.
Runtime input preparation and reusable call .github/workflows/feature-ideation.yml	A prep job produces runtime inputs for ideate, which invokes the reusable workflow at a pinned commit and converts boolean outputs with fromJSON(...).

Pull request overview

This PR aims to remediate Issue #361 by updating the repo’s feature-ideation.yml workflow to comply with the org standard for reusable workflow pinning.

Changes:

• Relaxed the discussion-event redispatch gating (removed author association checks).
• Added a prep job to resolve dispatch inputs and feed them into the reusable workflow via needs.prep.outputs.
• Updated the reusable workflow reference from @v2 to a specific commit SHA (annotated as “# v1”).

Summary

One-line change re-pinning the feature-ideation caller stub from @v2 to @v1, satisfying compliance check non-stub-feature-ideation.yml (verified against stub_pin_acceptable in scripts/compliance-audit.sh — canonical pin for feature-ideation is v1, no legacy refs). However, the change resolves the audit finding on paper while leaving the workflow functionally broken, and it surfaces a conflict in the org standards that cannot be resolved inside this PR.

Linked issue analysis

Issue #361 (compliance-audit, error): workflow references the reusable but is not pinned to @v1. The pin itself is now compliant — the audit regex accepts @v1 exactly. But the issue's remediation says to copy standards/workflows/feature-ideation.yml verbatim, and that was not done. The canonical stub differs materially: it (a) pins the reusable to SHA e20a8fac # v1 — a commit 133 commits ahead of the actual v1 tag (d3d768d) — and (b) contains a prep job (fix for .github#571) that this repo's file lacks. The letter of the finding is addressed; the substance of the remediation is not.

Findings

1. [blocking] @v1 leaves the workflow in startup_failure. The reusable at tag v1 (and v2 — they differ by one action-pin line only) defines inputs project_context, focus_area, research_depth, model, timeout_minutes, dry_run, tooling_ref, sources_file — it does not define target_discussion or enhance_backlog, both of which this caller passes in with:. GitHub Actions validates reusable inputs at workflow setup, so every trigger fails before any job runs. Evidence: the latest scheduled run of this workflow on main (2026-07-10) concluded startup_failure; the two prior runs also failed. This PR does not make things worse than @v2, but it does not restore a working workflow, which is the evident intent of the compliance program.
2. Correct fix within this repo: re-sync from the canonical stub per the issue's remediation command, preserving the repo's legitimate customisations (the filled-in project_context and the author_association gating on the redispatch job). The canonical pin e20a8fac has both missing inputs, and its prep job also fixes the inputs-context startup failure on discussion events (.github#571) that this file is still exposed to.
3. [org-side, needs human] standards conflict: the audit's stub_pin_acceptable accepts only @v1 for feature-ideation, while the canonical template itself pins @e20a8fac… # v1 — which that same regex would flag. And the v1/v2 tags in petry-projects/.github are stale (133/98 commits behind the canonical pin). Adopting the canonical stub fixes the workflow but re-triggers next week's audit; keeping @v1 passes the audit but stays broken. The clean resolution is org-side: advance the v1 tag (or update the audit table) in petry-projects/.github. This cannot be fixed within this PR.
4. Non-issues checked: tag (vs SHA) pinning of org-internal reusables is explicitly sanctioned by ci-standards action-pinning policy; secrets passing is unchanged; permissions block is unchanged; gitleaks green; no MCP secret-scanning tool available in this run (noted, non-fatal).

CI status

All required checks green at 2f9b2d8: Validate, agent-shield, CodeQL (actions), SonarCloud quality gate, Secret scan (gitleaks), CodeRabbit — all SUCCESS. One superseded review / review run CANCELLED (later runs succeeded); dependency-audit ecosystem jobs SKIPPED (not applicable). CodeRabbit's earlier CHANGES_REQUESTED was dismissed and it later APPROVED. Note: CI cannot catch the startup_failure issue in Finding 1 — reusable-input validation only happens when the workflow itself is triggered.

Closing as superseded: linked issue is already CLOSED/COMPLETED (fixed via a later merged PR) and this branch now conflicts with main. Part of the open-PR drain to stay under the 50-PR automation cap.
