Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Adjusted default test payloads to improve consistency and coverage (lower repeat count, higher token limit, deterministic temperature).
  • Enhanced validation failure messages to include a content preview for faster debugging.

Walkthrough

Updated default parameters in tests/utils/payload_builder.py for chat and completion payload builders. Enhanced error messaging in tests/utils/payloads.py validate by appending a 1000-character content preview to AssertionError when expected substrings are missing.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary of Edits
Test payload defaults tests/utils/payload_builder.py	Changed defaults: repeat_count 3→2, max_tokens 150→300, temperature 0.1→0 for chat_payload_default and completion_payload_default. No body/control-flow changes.
Validation diagnostics tests/utils/payloads.py	In validate, when expected substrings are missing, AssertionError message now includes a content preview (first 1000 chars). Control flow unchanged.

Poem

I twitch my ears at defaults anew,
Two hops, not three, and tokens grew.
A chill to zero—temper’s low,
While errors show a clearer glow.
With nibble-notes of text in view,
This bunny stamps “Reviewed!” for you. 🐇✨

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Description Check	⚠️ Warning	The pull request description uses the required template headings but leaves critical sections blank, with the Overview simply stating “As title notes” and both the Details and reviewer guidance containing only placeholder text. This omission makes it unclear what specific changes were made and where the reviewer should start. Only the Related Issues section is filled, so the description does not adequately inform the reviewer of the changeset.	Please complete the Details section with a summary of the actual changes and specify which files or areas the reviewer should examine first in the Where should the reviewer start section.
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.

✅ Passed checks (1 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The title concisely highlights the two main changes of improved logging and reduced randomness, which correspond to the updated error messaging and default randomness parameters in test utilities. It accurately reflects the intent and scope of the changes without extraneous details. There is a minor spelling error in “bette r” but the meaning remains clear.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

tests/utils/payloads.py (1)

66-69: LGTM! Enhanced error messaging improves debuggability.

The content preview addition provides valuable context when assertions fail, making it easier to diagnose test failures. The implementation correctly handles edge cases (None content, short content) and uses !r for proper escaping.

tests/utils/payload_builder.py (3)

14-14: LGTM! Parameter changes improve test determinism and reliability.

The default parameter updates align well with the PR objectives:

• repeat_count: 2 reduces test iterations for faster execution
• max_tokens: 300 allows more complete responses for validation
• temperature: 0 ensures fully deterministic outputs, addressing "decrease randomness"

Also applies to: 17-18

---

40-40: LGTM! Consistent parameter updates across both payload builders.

The changes mirror those in chat_payload_default, maintaining consistency between the two default builders.

Also applies to: 43-44

---

104-110: Confirm usage of completion_payload and align defaults
completion_payload still uses repeat_count=3, max_tokens=150, temperature=0.1 with no references found; if it's in use, update its defaults to match completion_payload_default (repeat_count=2, max_tokens=300, temperature=0).
