217-217: Redundant single-element brace expansion in glob pattern

add a catch-all object inside the existing reviews.path_instructions array

nine rules currently listed) so the spelled-out rules (spelling, test coverage,
copyright year checks, comment quality, duplication, TODO/FIXME completions,
etc.) are applied; update the YAML so only reviews.path_instructions contains
instruction objects and ensure the new object uses the exact keys expected by
the schema: path and instructions.

Misleading comment on request_changes_workflow
The comment says "just leave comments" but request_changes_workflow: true does the opposite: it makes CodeRabbit formally submit a Request Changes GitHub review and then auto-approve the PR once all its comments are resolved. Consider updating the comment to accurately reflect this behavior.
📝 Suggested comment correction
- # Automatically request changes on the PR (just leave comments)
- request_changes_workflow: true
+ # Formally request changes via GitHub's review mechanism and auto-approve once all comments are resolved
+ request_changes_workflow: true📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

CodeRabbit .coderabbit.yaml reviews instructions schema
💡 Result:
Where “review instructions” live in .coderabbit.yaml
1) Path-based review instructions (most common)
Schema (repo root → reviews):
reviews:
path_instructions:
- path: "**/*.js" # glob
instructions: "..." # string (extra guidance for matching files)path_instructions is an array of objects with:
path(string glob)instructions(string) (docs.coderabbit.ai)
2) “Code Guidelines” files (don’t put these in path_instructions)
Instead of writing instructions inline, you can point CodeRabbit at guideline documents (e.g., CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, Copilot instruction files). These are configured under Knowledge Base → Code Guidelines and are scoped to the directory tree containing the guideline file. (docs.coderabbit.ai)
In config-schema terms, this appears under:
knowledge_base.code_guidelines.filePatterns(array of strings; defaults include common guideline filenames) (docs.coderabbit.ai)
3) AST-based instructions (Pro): ast-grep tool config
Enable and point CodeRabbit at your ast-grep rule directories/packages via:
reviews:
tools:
ast-grep:
essential_rules: true
rule_dirs: ["rules"] # directories containing rule YAML files
util_dirs: ["utils"] # optional utility rules
packages: ["org/repo"] # optional shared rule packagesThis is how CodeRabbit wires AST rules into automated reviews. (docs.coderabbit.ai)

- The canonical list of fields/types/defaults is the auto-generated configuration reference (updated 2026-02-11). (docs.coderabbit.ai)

CodeRabbit path_instructions documentation additionalProperties
💡 Result:
In CodeRabbit’s .coderabbit.yaml, reviews.path_instructions is an array of objects where each item must contain only:
path(string; glob pattern)instructions(string)
In the published JSON Schema, each path_instructions item sets "additionalProperties": false, meaning no extra keys are allowed in each object (helps catch typos like instruction vs instructions). [1]
Example:
reviews:
path_instructions:
- path: "**/*.js"
instructions: "Review against our JS style guide; flag security/perf issues."The field is documented in the configuration reference as “Path Instructions | Add path-specific guidance for code review.” [2]
Sources: CodeRabbit configuration schema (schema.v2.json) [1]; CodeRabbit configuration reference [2].

reviews.instructions is not a valid schema field and will be silently ignored
The reviews object in CodeRabbit's schema defines path_instructions as the location for review instructions, configured as an array of objects with path and instructions properties. There is no top-level instructions field under reviews. As a result, all nine rules defined here (spelling, test coverage, copyright years, comment quality, duplication, TODO/FIXME completions) will never be applied to any review.
Move these instructions into a catch-all entry at the top of path_instructions:
