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.

- This workflow diagram text says PR #2 is “develop → main”, but the implemented Phase 2 PR is created from the release branch to main (the workflow passes INPUT_RELEASE_BRANCH to create-main-release-pr.cjs).
Workflow auto-creates PR #2: develop → main

| **Validation Result:** ✅ **100% COVERAGE — All 47 tasks addressed** | ||
| **Key Finding:** Phase 4 completion (2 days actual) leaves Phase 5-7 with ~7-9 days of remaining work (down from initial 18 days in Phase 4 plan). |

Fixed: Updated Phase 4 timeline to clearly show 1 day actual (2026-08-08 to 2026-08-09), not "2 days actual". Now consistent across all references.

In
@.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/OPENSPEC_REVALIDATION_PHASE_5-7.md:
- Around line 272-280: Separate completed evidence from planned controls in
OPENSPEC_REVALIDATION_PHASE_5-7.md: at lines 272-280, remove Phase 7 CI
validation from the justification for the current Low risk rating and
distinguish it as future mitigation; at lines 288-315, label test counts as
planned targets unless execution evidence including a commit and date is
provided.
- Around line 190-232: Correct the “Complete 47-Task Specification Coverage”
section so its headline and total match the task rows when all ranges are
expanded. Add the seven missing specification tasks if they are in scope, and
distinguish the Mergify and CLAUDE.md deliverables from CHILD-* specification
tasks; otherwise revise the coverage total and completion claim to reflect only
the listed tasks.
In
@.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_5_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:
- Around line 124-132: Update the detectAllVersionFiles() example and its
implementation guidance to return the actual plugin path discovered by
repository detection rather than assuming plugin.php. Keep the result key as
plugin while storing the detected filename separately, so arbitrary plugin
filenames such as plugin-file.php remain supported.
- Around line 374-385: Update enforceEmDash and its callers in formatEntry so
em-dash normalization applies only to the intended title and description prose
fields, not the full formatted entry or other Markdown content. Preserve
Markdown list markers, URLs, PR references such as `#123`, code, and version
strings, and keep existing changelog output unchanged.
- Around line 259-297: Replace the single releaseWorkflow sequence with
explicitly resumable, event-driven stages for initial release preparation,
develop-merge handling, and main-merge finalization, persisting state and
enforcing idempotency at each stage. Update the agent output contract so prMain,
tag, and release are optional until their stages complete, and document how
merge events resume the workflow and report partial progress.
- Around line 523-531: Resolve and document a single pre-release SemVer policy
before implementation: either remove pre-release cases from the
versionManager.test.js strategy and retain strict release-only validation, or
explicitly support them. Update PHASE_5_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md lines 523-531 to
match the chosen behavior, and update PHASE_7_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md lines
312-320 with the exact accepted version grammar, including valid
release-candidate forms when supported.
- Around line 164-169: Define and consistently apply one
repository-type-specific required/optional version-file matrix: in
.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_5_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
lines 164-169 replace the blanket existence requirement; in
PHASE_6_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md lines 319-342 apply the same matrix to readme.txt
and package.json; in PHASE_7_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md lines 487-490 retain
conditional readme.txt validation; and in lines 568-601 make verification and
update operations conditional for optional files.
- Around line 400-406: Choose one canonical changelog heading format, preferably
the Keep a Changelog form without the leading “v”, and apply it consistently:
update the parseChangelog contract at
.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_5_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:400-406,
the [Unreleased] conversion at
.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_7_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:380-383,
and both release examples at
.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_7_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:674-699.
Keep tag normalization separate from parser heading keys.
- Around line 215-219: Update the gitOps.cjs implementation plan to require
argument-based execution such as execFileSync instead of shell-interpolated
execSync for stageFiles, commitChanges, tag/branch operations, and push;
validate refs, paths, messages, and remotes, enforce bounded command timeouts,
and redact secrets while retaining auditable Git operation logs.
In
@.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_6_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:
- Around line 102-104: Restrict the metadata parsing and replacement logic
around headerRegex and the corresponding Stable tag patterns to the intended
plugin, CSS, and readme header blocks instead of searching the entire file.
Validate the extracted version, require exactly one canonical match, and fail
when the field is missing or ambiguous; preserve updates to only the validated
header metadata.
- Around line 283-316: Update updateWordPressVersionFiles to validate the
boolean results from updatePluginHeader, updateThemeCSSVersion, and
updateReadmeTxtStableTag before setting each result to updated. Stop and
propagate any failure, and roll back earlier writes or verify and restore
consistency before returning so success is reported only when every requested
file update succeeds.
In
@.github/projects/active/release-process-redesign-2026-08-05/PHASE_7_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:
- Around line 194-198: Update the Mermaid release trigger command in the
implementation plan to include the npm argument separator before --scope=patch,
matching the syntax used by the other release examples.
- Around line 244-252: Update the “Merge conflict” guidance in the release
process plan to remove the ambiguous “prefer develop version (ours)”
instruction. Tell users to inspect both sides of CHANGELOG.md, preserve all
required release entries, run changelog validation, then commit and push the
resolution before merging.
- Around line 975-1003: Update the doc-validation job around the npm validation
steps to add actions/setup-node using the repository’s declared Node version,
then install dependencies with the project’s locked-install command after
checkout. Ensure both validate:links and validate:frontmatter run only after the
Node toolchain and dependencies are configured.
- Around line 397-410: Remove the contradictory introductory stacked-PR flow in
the “Stacked Pull Requests (Release Flow)” section, including the incorrect
“First PR”/“Second PR” list and the “Wait, that's backwards” clarification. Keep
only the final release branch → develop → main flow and its explanation that the
second PR depends on the first.
- Around line 342-350: Update the References sections in the documentation
blocks at the cited locations so links resolve from their destination files
under docs/, not from the implementation plan. Replace escaped relative paths
with sibling links such as BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md, CHANGELOG_AUTOMATION.md, and
RELEASE_PROCESS.md, and ensure the generated RELEASE_PROCESS.md,
BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md, and RELEASE_WORDPRESS.md references use valid
docs-relative targets.

Define one required/optional version-file matrix.
The plans currently disagree about optional files. The implementation can reject valid plugins or report success without updating the expected files.

Enforce safe Git command execution and bounded audit logs.
The gitOps.cjs plan runs calls such as stageFiles(files), commitChanges(message, author), tag/branch operations, and push(branch, remote) through child_process.execSync(). Since branch names, file paths, commit messages/tags, and remotes can carry shell-special values, require argument-based execution such as execFileSync() with validation for generated refs and paths, set bounded timeouts to avoid blocking the agent, and redact secrets from audit logs.

Resolve links relative to the destination documentation files.
These code blocks describe files under docs/, but paths such as ../../../../docs/BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md are relative to the plan location. When copied into docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md, docs/BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md, or docs/RELEASE_WORDPRESS.md, they escape the repository. Use sibling links such as BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md and RELEASE_PROCESS.md in the generated documentation.

| ### What are Stacked PRs? | ||
| Stacked PRs are two linked pull requests: | ||
| 1. **First PR:** Develops → main branch | ||
| 2. **Second PR:** Main → base branch (to keep develop in sync) | ||
| Wait, that's backwards. Let me clarify for this project: | ||
| 1. **First PR:** Release branch → develop | ||
| 2. **Second PR:** Develop → main | ||
| These PRs are "stacked" in the sense that the second PR depends on the first PR being merged. |

Remove the contradictory stacked-PR draft text.
The block first documents incorrect PR directions and then says, “Wait, that's backwards.” Readers can see both statements in the generated documentation. Keep only the final release-branch → develop → main flow.

- Updated enforceEmDash description to clarify it only applies to prose fields
(title and description), NOT to URLs, code, PR links, or markdown lists
- Made clear that PR links are preserved as-is without em-dash conversion
- Marked pre-release version support as conditional ('if supported')
Clarifies that this needs a decision on supported pre-release formats
Examples: -alpha, -beta, -rc1 format needs explicit approval
These changes ensure formatting rules don't corrupt changelog structure or links.
