🔧 config(coderabbit): adopt agent-voice tone and SYP best practices

[scttbnsn]

Second pass pulling in the evolved config the SYP repos converged on:

• tone_instructions: review comments written for an AI coding agent, terse, problem+fix, actionable only
• high_level_summary_instructions: emoji changelog plus flat concern list, formatted for Claude Code to consume
• Walkthrough noise stripped: collapsed walkthrough, no sequence diagrams, no effort estimate, no changed-files table, no fortune
• auto_incremental_review on, drafts skipped, WIP/DO NOT MERGE titles skipped
• Explicit tool enables for this stack (gitleaks, actionlint, markdownlint, yamllint, shellcheck, hadolint, ast-grep essential rules, github-checks) with languagetool off
• pre_merge_checks: docstring/title/description gates off, linked-issue assessment as warning
• Finishing touches (docstrings, unit tests) available on demand

🔧 Changed

• Updated .coderabbit.yaml to match the newer SYP repo review conventions.
• Reworked review tone instructions to be terse, agent-oriented, and action-focused.
• Expanded high-level summary formatting for Claude Code, including emoji changelog output and a flat concern list.
• Enabled auto_incremental_review.
• Added draft/WIP/DO NOT MERGE title skipping.
• Added explicit tool coverage for gitleaks, actionlint, markdownlint, yamllint, shellcheck, hadolint, ast-grep essential rules, and github-checks.
• Added finishing_touches and pre_merge_checks configuration, with docstring/title/description gates disabled and linked-issue assessment downgraded to a warning.
• Added chat.art: false.

🗑️ Removed

• Removed walkthrough-heavy summary elements, including collapsed walkthroughs, sequence diagrams, effort estimates, changed-files tables, and fortune text.

• Removed the older minimal reviews.auto_review / summary / collapse configuration block in favor of the expanded setup.

• Verify the new tool list and timeout settings align with the repo’s actual CI/lint stack.

• Confirm the new summary format is what downstream Claude Code consumers expect.

Config-only change to .coderabbit.yaml. No code touched, no auth paths, no API surface change. Replaces a minimal review block with expanded settings: early access toggle, tone/high-level-summary instructions, extended auto_review with ignore_title_keywords, new finishing_touches and pre_merge_checks sections, enabled linters/scanners (golangci-lint, biome, shellcheck, hadolint, markdownlint, yamllint, gitleaks, actionlint, ast-grep, github-checks with timeout), and chat.art: false.

Changes

• .coderabbit.yaml: expanded review/tool/chat configuration; no functional code changes.

Poem
No auth to weaken, no route exposed,
just yaml knobs politely proposed.
Linters awake, gitleaks on guard,
the config grew, the code's unmarred.
