How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization. For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window. Please refer docs for additional details.

WalkthroughThe change makes tool-output pass-through and summarization thresholds configurable through environment variables. It adds deployment defaults, validation, context-capture integration, documentation updates, and startup configuration tests. ChangesTool-output configuration

In @.env.example:
- Around line 113-119: Reorder the new tool-output configuration keys and their
associated comments in the dotenv example to satisfy dotenv-linter’s required
key ordering, preserving each key’s value and documentation.
In `@server/tests/chat/test_tool_output_cap.py`:
- Around line 244-285: Update both subprocess tests in
test_module_reads_environment_overrides_at_startup and
test_module_rejects_reversed_limits_at_startup to pass an explicit minimal env
containing only the required threshold variables, rather than os.environ.copy();
set check=False explicitly on the expected-failure subprocess.

Addressed the new CodeRabbit boundary-test finding in e35121a: the startup validation test is now parameterized for both reversed limits and the equality boundary ( |

Summary
.env.exampleWhy
Large infrastructure commands can return hundreds of thousands of characters. Aurora currently truncates those outputs to 400,000 characters before sending another LLM summarization request, but operators cannot tune that budget for their model context window or cost constraints. This change keeps current behavior by default while allowing deployments to lower those limits without maintaining a source patch.
