Summary

Docs-only housekeeping, three pieces:

  • New house rule in CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog: an item whose remaining work is blocked on the maintainer's own decision/access/input -- not on further agent implementation -- must have a corresponding entry in docs/open-questions.md naming exactly what's needed, added in the same commit that identifies the item as blocked. Prose describing a blocker in the backlog file alone is no longer enough. Also makes explicit the flip side: an item with nothing left to implement doesn't belong in the backlog at all, even if it once looked open.
  • Item 59 closed. It had no future work left -- just a standing procedure (manually trigger @coderabbitai review on every PR, since this repo gets no automatic reviews) that has now run cleanly across several PRs this session. Moved its history to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md and the procedure itself into a new docs/agent-lessons-learned.md entry ("CodeRabbit review requires a manual trigger on every PR"), since that file's whole purpose is durable procedures like this one.
  • Item 61's remaining blocker registered as docs/open-questions.md item 5: whether a same-line paren pair nested inside a real if/for block is safe needs genuine cmd.exe verification, which this sandbox can't provide (no Windows access). Names the actual hang-up and a recommended unblocking path (a small workflow_dispatch-only probe workflow vs. a throwaway branch against the full matrix) pending the maintainer's call -- see PR Add workflow_dispatch-only cmd.exe paren-nesting hazard probe (Item 61) #461, which built and merged that probe workflow following this same recommendation.

Verification

tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh CLAUDE.md docs/agent-closed-backlog.md docs/agent-lessons-learned.md docs/open-questions.md -- all checks pass (compileall, pyflakes, delimiter check, CRLF check, markdownlint, yamllint, actionlint, ASCII sweep, PowerShell AST parse sweep, full pytest: 560 passed / 3 skipped, unaffected by this docs-only change).

Note: this branch was restarted from main after PR #460 merged (this commit had been held locally, uncommitted to the remote, while #460's CI was in flight) -- same branch name, fresh history on top of the merged base, per this repo's standard branch-restart convention.

…uestion

CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog gains a house rule: an item blocked on the
maintainer's own decision/access/input must have a corresponding entry
in docs/open-questions.md, not just prose describing the blocker.

Item 59 (CodeRabbit manual-review-trigger) is closed -- it had nothing
left to implement, just a standing procedure that has now run cleanly
across several PRs this session. Moved its history to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md and its standing procedure to
docs/agent-lessons-learned.md (a new "CodeRabbit review requires a
manual trigger on every PR" entry) rather than leaving it implied only
by a closed backlog item.

Item 61's remaining scope (whether a same-line paren pair nested in a
real block needs the same treatment as a cross-line one) is blocked on
getting genuine cmd.exe verification cheaply -- this sandbox has no
Windows access, and the two existing ways to reach a real Windows CI
runner both run the full 8-lane matrix for a narrow parsing question.
Registered as docs/open-questions.md item 5 with a recommended
alternative (a small workflow_dispatch-only probe workflow) pending the
maintainer's call, per the new house rule.

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

Limit details: You’ve used the included review currently available.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

Wait for the limit to reset, then comment @coderabbitai review or push new commits to the PR.

An organization admin can change what happens after included review limits in Billing.

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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for tracking blocked backlog items through open questions and archiving resolved items.
    • Documented the manual process for triggering automated code reviews.

Walkthrough

The PR updates backlog governance, documents manual CodeRabbit review procedures, archives completed Item 59, and records Item 61 about live cmd.exe verification.

Changes

Documentation governance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backlog tracking and blocker records
CLAUDE.md, docs/open-questions.md
Blocked backlog items must link to traceable open questions. Resolved items must be removed from the active backlog. Item 61 records the unresolved cmd.exe verification requirement and possible verification paths.
Review procedure and Item 59 archive
docs/agent-lessons-learned.md, docs/agent-closed-backlog.md
The documentation defines manual CodeRabbit review triggers and related handling steps. Item 59 records the completed procedure and its historical fixes, then removes the completed active-backlog entry.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ad167

This documentation-only change has no runtime impact. After correcting the wrapped path and clarifying the cmd.exe wording, no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

- Around line 485-501: Preserve the `docs/open-questions.md` path as an unbroken

Two small findings from CodeRabbit's review: a code span
(`docs/open-questions.md`) was split across a line-wrap, rendering
with a spurious space in the filename; and "live-cmd.exe verification"
read oddly hyphenated -- reworded to "live `cmd.exe` verification" in
both CLAUDE.md and the corresponding quoted text in
docs/open-questions.md so the quotation stays accurate.

Both actionable findings from the round-1 review are fixed (commit 610226b) and independently confirmed by CodeRabbit itself ("Addressed in commit 610226b" on both threads). The formal re-review has been rate-limited on every attempt since. Requesting approval to clear the standing CHANGES_REQUESTED state.
