Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Bot mentions are now removed from thread history and current questions, making replies cleaner and more accurate.
  • New thread titles now use cleaned, truncated message text instead of raw mentions.
  • The bot now responds more reliably in configured channel threads and when explicitly mentioned, while ignoring unrelated messages.
  • Error and fallback handling now use the cleaned user message for clearer logging and better context.

Warning

Review limit reached

@kpj2006, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 30 minutes and 16 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has used up its prepaid credits, and credit purchases are no longer available. Enable the review add-on in the billing tab to keep reviews running — you're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

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 credits.

🚦 How do rate 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 see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.

Walkthrough

The PR adds bot-mention stripping to thread context, thread titles, routing, prompt selection, and failure logs. Messages are now processed when they match the configured channel context or explicitly mention the bot, and cleaned text is used throughout the question flow.

Changes

Bot mention handling and cleaned query flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mention cleanup and thread context bot.py	Adds clean_bot_mention and applies it to thread history formatting and new thread titles.
Message routing and prompt input bot.py	Updates message gating to honor explicit bot mentions and passes cleaned_query into prompt selection.
Cleaned-query logging bot.py	Switches thread-creation, insufficient-info, fallback, and error logs to record cleaned_query.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through threads with a nose so keen,
I shaved off mentions, neat and clean.
My questions now are trimmed just right,
and logs stay tidy in the night.
Hop-hop—replying feels so bright!

In `@bot.py`:
- Around line 39-43: The cleanup in clean_bot_mention is removing every bot
mention token anywhere in the message; change it so only a leading invocation
mention/prefix is stripped and any later <`@bot`> occurrences remain intact.
Update the mention handling logic in clean_bot_mention (and the related call
sites that rely on it) to match only the start of the content, preserving
in-body mention syntax for the model.
