Research direction
Read the CodeRabbit configuration reference and inspect the existing dashboard settings before creating .coderabbit.yaml. Confirm that it contains the assertive profile, equivalent pre-merge checks, path instructions for src/, spec/ and types/*.d.ts, and auto-review filters for draft and dependabot PRs.

Current Limitation
CodeRabbit currently reviews with the default chill profile (visible in the review details on recent PRs, e.g. #10610), and its configuration lives only in the CodeRabbit dashboard. There's no .coderabbit.yaml in the repo, so the active settings aren't visible, versioned or reviewable by contributors.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Switch CodeRabbit to the assertive profile and commit the configuration as a .coderabbit.yaml:
profile: assertivefor more thorough feedback - as a security-sensitive server with a small maintainer team, catching more in automated review is worth the extra noise- replicate the existing dashboard settings (custom pre-merge checks like "Engage In Review Feedback" and "Security Check") into the file, since a committed
.coderabbit.yamltakes precedence over the dashboard path_instructionsforsrc/**,spec/**and the generatedtypes/*.d.tsauto_reviewfilters to skip draft and dependabot PRs
Example Use Case
- A contributor opens a PR and gets deeper automated review before a maintainer spends time on it
- A contributor wants to know why CodeRabbit flagged something and opens
.coderabbit.yamlto see the active profile and rules - Changes to review behaviour go through a PR like any other change
Alternatives / Workarounds
- Flip the profile in the dashboard without committing config. Less friction, but settings stay invisible and untracked.
- Stay on
chill(current state).
