Warning

Review limit reached

@kojiwakayama, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 2 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

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 reviews.

How do review 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 refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a Deno utility for artifact-size reporting, integrates it into CI and release workflows, and updates installation and embedded ONNX inference documentation with contract tests.

Changes

Artifact reporting and installation guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Artifact size measurement and validation
scripts/build/report-artifact-sizes.ts, scripts/build/report-artifact-sizes.test.ts, deno.json
The new Deno utility measures files and npm packages, validates metadata, formats sizes, renders Markdown reports, and supports command-line execution. Tests cover the utility and its workflow integration.
CI and release workflow integration
.github/workflows/cicd.yml, scripts/README.md
CI, prerelease, and stable release jobs append npm package and binary sizes to the GitHub Actions step summary. The reporting remains non-enforcing.
Installation and embedded inference guidance
README.md, docs/getting-started/installation.md, docs/guides/providers.md, tests/docs/guide-content.test.ts
Documentation distinguishes npm and standalone-binary installation, records resource and artifact sizes, describes embedded ONNX inference constraints, and recommends local chat providers. Contract tests verify the documented guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5d465

The documentation currently recommends executing network-fetched installer scripts without local verification, which could run attacker-controlled commands with the user's privileges, and its local inference examples do not pass the configured settings to the application. Merge should wait for safer installation guidance and corrected environment-variable examples.

Addresses two review findings.

The local inference examples used bare shell assignments, so a
subsequently started Veryfront process would not inherit
VERYFRONT_LOCAL_AI_DEVICE, VERYFRONT_LOCAL_AI_THINKING or
VERYFRONT_DISABLE_LOCAL_AI. The same file already uses `export` for
VERYFRONT_HOST_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_PROVIDER_ORIGINS, so this also makes the
page internally consistent.

The standalone install commands pipe a network-fetched script straight to
a shell. `install.sh` already accepts `--version`, and the release
publishes per-platform binaries, so document both: read the script first
and pin a version, or skip the installer and take the release asset.
State plainly that nothing in that path is checksum-verified rather than
implying a guarantee that does not exist.

Publishing signed checksums, and having the installer verify them, is a
release-pipeline change and is deliberately not attempted here.
The installers now publish and check a SHA256SUMS manifest (#3707), so the
earlier wording that nothing in this path is verified is no longer true.
Document the guarantee, the fail-closed behaviour on releases that predate
the manifest, and how to check a manually downloaded binary.
