199-199: **/*.{py} is an unusual single-element brace expansion; prefer **/*.py.

While most glob engines (including minimatch used by CodeRabbit) handle {py} correctly as a single-option brace, it is non-idiomatic and may not be supported by all implementations. Each path instruction's path is a glob pattern using minimatch syntax.

7-8: early_access: true contradicts its own comment and enables potentially unstable features.

The comment says "currently not using any specific early_access features", yet the flag is set to true. early_access enables experimental features and its default is false.

103-117: Several language-specific linters enabled here are irrelevant to OrgExplorer's TypeScript/Web stack.

swiftlint (Swift), phpstan (PHP), golangci-lint (Go), and detekt (Kotlin) will never run on this codebase because there are no matching source files.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

request_changes_workflow: true with assertive profile will block PR merges, not "just leave comments".

The inline comment on Line 67 says # Automatically request changes on the PR (just leave comments), which is incorrect. Per the official schema: "Approve the review once CodeRabbit's comments are resolved and no pre-merge checks are in an error state. Note: In GitLab, all discussions must be resolved." The default is false.

With profile: assertive (Line 34), this combination means every nitpicky comment CodeRabbit generates will formally block the PR from merging until resolved. This is a significant process change and likely unintentional given the misleading comment. Consider starting with request_changes_workflow: false until the team is comfortable with assertive-level feedback volume.

🛠️ Proposed fix

-  request_changes_workflow: true

reviews.instructions is not a valid field in CodeRabbit’s .coderabbit.yaml schema v2 (it does not exist under reviews:). (coderabbit.ai)

  • Global tone instructions

    • tone_instructions: string, maxLength: 250, default "" (coderabbit.ai)
  • PR title generation instructions

Move instructions into path_instructions with a catch-all pattern to make review instructions active.

reviews.instructions is not a valid schema field and will be silently ignored. CodeRabbit's official schema v2 defines instructions through path_instructions (array with path and instructions keys) and labeling_instructions, not as a top-level reviews.instructions field. As a result, all global instructions here—spelling checks, test coverage, copyright year enforcement, etc.—will have no effect.

Migrate these instructions to a catch-all path_instructions entry:

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

"Ensure that 'use client' is being used" will trigger incorrect review comments for Next.js server components.

These two instructions conflict directly with Next.js App Router's server-first model:

  • "Ensure that 'use client' is being used" — Server components (the default in App Router) must NOT have 'use client'. Requiring it on every .ts/.tsx file would flag all valid server-side code as violations.
  • "Ensure that only features that allow pure client-side rendering are used" — This contradicts the entire point of Next.js, which is built around SSR, React Server Components, and API routes.

These instructions appear to have been copied from a React Native / pure SPA configuration. They will generate a high volume of incorrect review comments on valid Next.js server-side code.

🛠️ Proposed fix
         NextJS:
-        - Ensure that "use client" is being used
-        - Ensure that only features that allow pure client-side rendering are used
-        - NextJS best practices (including file structure, API routes, and static generation methods) are used.
+        - Use "use client" only for components that require browser APIs or React hooks (useState, useEffect, etc.)
+        - Prefer React Server Components (RSC) by default; avoid "use client" in components that do not need client interactivity
+        - Follow Next.js App Router best practices (file structure, layouts, loading.tsx, error.tsx, API route handlers, server actions)
+        - Avoid anti-patterns such as fetching data in client components when server components or Route Handlers are more appropriate

expo-secure-store is a React Native/Expo library — irrelevant for a web project.

expo-secure-store is a mobile-only Expo SDK package for securely storing key-value pairs on iOS/Android devices. OrgExplorer is a TypeScript/Web project, so recommending this library will generate incorrect review comments.
