Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available. 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.

In @.pr_agent.toml:
- Around line 1-5: Update the [github_app] configuration to restrict Qodo
reviews to the main target branch by adding the supported
ignore_pr_target_branches regular-expression setting for every other branch;
alternatively, document the equivalent hosted configuration and validate it with
/config and a non-main test pull request.
In `@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army-live-rollout.md`:
- Around line 97-110: Update the live smoke-test acceptance criteria to require
checking branch protection and rulesets before and after installation, recording
that no reviewer status—including Sourcery review—is required, and marking the
rollout unsuccessful while any reviewer check gates merges.
In `@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army.md`:
- Around line 231-240: Update the “Expected changed files” list in the AI
reviewer army plan to include
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army-live-rollout.md, keeping all
existing entries unchanged.
- Around line 399-401: Update the “Completion boundary” statement to require
that each selected App is safely installed and smoke-tested, or clearly blocked
by maintainer authorization, permission review, or eligibility/plan failure.
Keep the existing requirement that no destructive or final repository action has
been taken, and ensure the wording does not contradict the documented omission
rules.
- Around line 253-255: Update the self-review checklist in “Step 1: Compare
branch with main” to include the repository-documented documentation
typecheck/build command, and require repository lint and typecheck when the
documentation guide calls for them. Keep the existing configuration, policy,
secrets, and branch-comparison checks unchanged.
- Around line 268-277: Update Step 3 to validate github_app.feedback_on_draft_pr
is false and confirm the active Qodo integration reviews only non-draft pull
requests targeting main. If filtering uses [config].ignore_pr_target_branches,
verify its exclusion semantics and ensure the configuration does not mistakenly
treat it as a main-branch allowlist.
In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army-design.md`:
- Around line 83-99: Document Graphite Hobby as a scope exception: it cannot
enforce the baseline main-branch, non-draft, and dependency-bot filters, so
treat Graphite as best effort or make setup conditional on a plan with supported
controls. Update the design specification in
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army-design.md (lines 83-99),
canonical policy in docs/ai-code-review.md (lines 88-104), implementation plan
in docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army.md (lines 359-367), and
live-rollout checklist in
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-ai-reviewer-army-live-rollout.md (lines 80-89)

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:
- There’s substantial duplication of the safety model and reviewer roles across
ai-code-review.md, the design spec, and both plans; consider centralizing common sections in the canonical policy and referencing it from the others to reduce drift over time. - The dated filenames under
docs/superpowers(e.g.,2026-08-15-*) point to a future date; if these are intended to encode when the decision was made, aligning them with the actual approval date will make the history clearer for future maintainers.

Live reviewer evaluation result:
- Sourcery successfully responded on PR #41, so the integration is operational.
- Its two high-level findings were not accepted: the docs/spec/plan overlap is intentional for durable decision history, and the claim that
2026-08-15-*filenames are future-dated is factually wrong on 2026-08-16. - More importantly, the installed Sourcery GitHub App exposes write permissions for repository contents, Actions, and workflows. That violates the permission ceiling approved for this rollout.
- Graphite's official permission model likewise requires read/write access to Actions, checks, contents, pull requests, and workflows. That also violates the approved ceiling.
Per the already-approved safety rule, a reviewer that cannot operate within the permission ceiling is rejected rather than keeping it by weakening the policy. Do not treat Sourcery or Graphite as accepted reviewers for this rollout unless the permission model materially changes and is re-evaluated.
CodeRabbit remains the accepted baseline reviewer. Issue #40 should stay open until the desired additional-reviewer outcome is reconsidered; this PR should not be merged in its current multi-reviewer form.

Source-controlled cleanup is now applied on the current PR head:
Remaining external cleanup: uninstall/remove repository access for Sourcery and Graphite. Do not treat hosted cleanup as complete until that maintainer action is confirmed. Current-head CI run: https://github.com/absolutepraya/karakeep/actions/runs/31953022890 |

Graphite access-removal status only if maintainer confirmation verifies neither
app can access absolutepraya/karakeep, and keep “Hosted cleanup complete”

Description
This PR started as a rollout of additional AI PR reviewers alongside CodeRabbit. Live evaluation changed the outcome.
The final result is a reviewer safety/evaluation policy, not a three-reviewer deployment.
Relates to #40.
Final reviewer state
The repository deliberately prefers one accepted reviewer over multiple reviewers with unnecessary code-mutation capability.
Safety model preserved
Sourcery smoke-test finding
Sourcery successfully reviewed this PR, which gave us a useful first calibration sample:
2026-08-15-*files were future-dated was a clear false positive because the review ran on 2026-08-16.No repo behavior or documentation structure was changed merely to satisfy those findings.
