A valid config is not a running reviewer
.coderabbit.yaml landed on orchestkit's main on 2026-08-25 (#3746). It is schema-valid, auto_review.enabled: true, tone_instructions at 221 of the 250-char limit. CodeRabbit has posted zero comments on this repo, ever. The config was never the defect: the GitHub App is installed on the Yonatan-HQ organization and has never been installed on the yonatangross account that owns orchestkit.
Same query, two repos
The second repo is the positive control. Without it a zero is indistinguishable from a wrong query, and the wrong query is easy to write here: the bot login is coderabbitai[bot], and the bare coderabbitai form returns 0 against a repo where it posts daily.
Two endpoints, or you are half blind
| Endpoint | What CodeRabbit puts there | orchestkit | platform |
|---|---|---|---|
/issues/comments | the walkthrough and summary | 0 | 250 PRs |
/pulls/comments | inline findings, the review threads | 0 | 85 PRs |
| union, against non-bot PRs | the coverage number to quote | 0 of 284 | 238 of 311 |
/check-suites app slugs | a suite per installed app with checks:write | no coderabbit | n/a |
Reading only /issues/comments on platform, unpaginated, returned zero CodeRabbit rows and nearly produced the verdict "platform is inert too". It is not: it is the busiest CodeRabbit repo in the estate. Findings live on the other endpoint, and the default page holds 100 of thousands.
Cost: replay 22 days of real platform PRs against each hourly cap
Replay is a rolling 60-minute window over the real createdAt of 486 non-bot, non-draft PRs opened on Yonatan-HQ/platform between 2026-08-12 and 2026-09-03. orchestkit is not in this table: it is a public repository, and CodeRabbit reviews public repositories for free, so its 284 reviewable PRs in 30 days cost nothing on any plan.
What only the operator can do
1. https://github.com/settings/installations -> CodeRabbit
2. absent -> install from https://github.com/apps/coderabbitai on the
yonatangross ACCOUNT (the Yonatan-HQ org grant does not cover it)
present -> Configure -> add yonatangross/orchestkit to the repo grant
3. https://app.coderabbit.ai -> confirm the repo is listed and enabled
4. prove it on a PR, not on the settings page:
gh pr view <n> --json reviews,comments | grep coderabbitai
Installation is a web OAuth grant. No token in a session can perform it, and the browser path is blocked here by the sandbox (Chrome cannot pass the Mach bootstrap check).
