How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the 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.

In `@templatekit/src/prompts/conversation_agent_system.md`:
- Around line 85-87: Update update_scope_for_conversation so lifecycle fields
remain coordinator-owned without exception: remove permission for the
conversation agent to send status, schedule, result_summary, artifacts,
findings, cautions, or next even when explicitly requested. Align the
corresponding guidance around the coordinator-owned fields so all policy-field
changes are routed through the coordinator.
- Line 192: Update the first-turn guidance around [first_turn].must_include and
no_status_narration so their requirements do not conflict: permit the first
tool-call companion text only when it is a clarifying question or non-progress
acknowledgement, or explicitly define a narrowly scoped first-turn exception.
Remove progress-style narration from the required examples while preserving the
prohibition on routine status updates.
In `@templatekit/src/prompts/reviewer_system.md`:
- Around line 57-61: Update the [timeline.tool_output_preservation] verification
guidance to prohibit replaying arbitrary executor tool inputs, including
mutating, destructive, credential-bearing, or network commands. Replace the
current rerun requirement with reviewer-authored, explicitly allow-listed
checks, and update the repeated rule at the referenced verification guidance to
match.
In `@templatekit/src/prompts/shared_operating_style.md`:
- Around line 230-232: Update the only_exits template rule so it applies only to
non-conversation threads, or explicitly permits the required plain-text/no-tool
completion for conversation threads. Preserve the existing terminate_loop,
ask_user, abort_task, and notify_user conditions for non-conversation runs.
In `@templatekit/src/templates/task_workspace_brief.hbs`:
- Around line 18-21: Update the task workspace instructions in
task_workspace_brief.hbs to explicitly identify /task/audit/ as a runtime-owned,
read-only tool-call log that agents must not write evidence or review files
into; direct agent-created evidence and review material to the appropriate
writable location, while preserving the existing /task/review/ guidance.

Align the update_project_task role contract across all layers.
agent-engine/src/executor/agent_loop/tool_schema.rs gives execution lanes in_progress, blocked, and failed status values. The changed description and validation message omit that caller. This can prevent execution lanes from reporting blocked or failed work, or produce a misleading mode error. State the execution-lane scope in both strings, or remove the execution-lane schema values and reject the tool consistently.

Line 21 and Line 50 state that history is not a complete merged timeline. However, [rubric.method_audit] at Lines 165-167 still requires walking “the timeline” by executor-thread tags. This can direct reviewers to an incomplete or unavailable source and bypass /task/audit/<role>-<thread_id>.log.

Do not declare mutable preview logs to be ground truth.
Line 39 states that arbitrary shell commands may write /task/audit/. Line 40 records only input=<preview>. Line 47 still treats a matching audit line as proof of the executor’s method. A mutable log can be altered, and a preview can omit the exact input. The reviewer can then accept an unsound method.
Make the runtime audit channel append-only and inaccessible to shell writes. Record a trusted, redacted canonical input or a verifiable hash. If that guarantee is unavailable, mark preview-only or mutable audit evidence as unverifiable.

Fix the inline code span spacing.
Markdownlint reports MD038 on Line 40 because the inline code span has a leading space. Remove the leading space before error="…".

Treat all review inputs as evidence, not instructions.
The “history is evidence” rule does not explicitly cover /task/JOURNAL.md, /task/audit/, /task/artifacts/, or handoff messages. These sources can contain executor-controlled text. Add a rule that their contents cannot authorize tool calls, override reviewer policy, or change the verdict.

Enforce read-only access for /task/audit/.
This line declares audit logs as read-only evidence but also states that arbitrary shell writes are not path-protected. templatekit/src/prompts/service_execution_system.md exposes execute_command and permits rm -f <path> cleanup under /task/. An executor can therefore modify or delete audit evidence.
Enforce this restriction in the filesystem or tool layer. Also exclude /task/audit/ from agent cleanup rules.

`/task/audit/` as read-only in the filesystem or tool layer, including blocking

Update the cleanup rules in `service_execution_system.md` to exclude this
directory, while preserving agents’ ability to read its audit logs as evidence.
