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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The avoid-duplicate-code lint now computes structural and exact hashes, reports separate diagnostics for exact and differing-literal clones, extracts literal values, and routes cached and cross-file results through provider-aware registry and reporter APIs. Configuration removes legacy options. Tests cover hashing, reporting, registry persistence, and ignore comments.

Changes

Duplicate code detection redesign

Layer / File(s)Summary
Hashing and diagnostic contracts
lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/..., lib/analysis_options.yaml, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/visitors/ast_structural_hash_visitor_test.dart
The lint removes legacy configuration fields. AstStructuralHashVisitor now returns structural and exact hashes. HashEntry stores both values. AvoidDuplicateCodeRule exposes separate diagnostics.
Literal extraction and comparison
lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/models/literal_info.dart, lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/services/differing_literals_analyzer.dart, lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/visitors/literal_collector_visitor.dart, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/services/*, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/visitors/literal_collector_visitor_test.dart
Literal values now include source spans, support external snippet loading, and produce truncated differing-value summaries.
Provider-aware cross-file registry
lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/models/cross_file_match.dart, lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/services/global_hash_registry.dart, lib/src/utils/resource_provider_utils.dart, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/global_hash_registry_test.dart, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/models/cross_file_match_test.dart
GlobalHashRegistry receives ResourceProvider instances explicitly, caches package roots, persists per-root parameters, and clears cache files. Cross-file duplicates are merged and deduplicated by hash.
Candidate analysis and diagnostic reporting
lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/reporters/*, lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/visitors/avoid_duplicate_code_visitor.dart, lib/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/visitors/candidate_visitor.dart, lib/src/utils/ignore_matcher.dart, lib/src/utils/token_utils.dart, test/src/lints/avoid_duplicate_code/avoid_duplicate_code_rule_test.dart, test/src/common/utils/ignore_matcher_test.dart
The visitor delegates current and cached matches to the reporter. The reporter selects exact or differing-literal diagnostics, filters suppressed ranges, and adds context messages. Ignore comments now cover full candidate token ranges.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 9d67c

This refactor can abort analysis when an external file changes during reading, silently miss cross-file duplicate diagnostics from incompatible cache entries, and suppress valid nested reports because ignore matching scans too broadly. These are bounded but concrete correctness and availability risks, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

16-22: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the literals per context to avoid repeated file reads.

collectLiterals invokes _literalsProvider on every call. For contexts created by fromCachedEntries, the provider calls DifferingLiteralsAnalyzer.loadExternalLiterals, which reads and parses the file. AvoidDuplicateCodeReporter._report calls collectLiterals for the target and for each internal partner, once per reported duplicate group. The same file is therefore read many times during a single analysis pass.

Memoize the result inside the context. The behavior stays the same, including the const [] fallback.

♻️ Proposed memoization
 final List<LiteralInfo> Function(DifferingLiteralsAnalyzer) _literalsProvider;
+ List<LiteralInfo>? _cachedLiterals;
DuplicateReportContext._({
required this.entry,
required List<LiteralInfo> Function(DifferingLiteralsAnalyzer)
literalsProvider,
}) : _literalsProvider = literalsProvider;
 List<LiteralInfo> collectLiterals(
DifferingLiteralsAnalyzer literalsAnalyzer,
- ) => _literalsProvider(literalsAnalyzer);+ ) => _cachedLiterals ??= _literalsProvider(literalsAnalyzer);

Exercise DuplicateLocation value equality in the deduplication test.DuplicateLocation already defines == and hashCode; HashEntry equality is not required. The test shares one DuplicateLocation, so it does not prove that distinct equal locations are deduplicated. Construct separate instances with identical filePath, hash, and offset.

Document that the returned offsets are snippet-relative, not file-relative.

loadExternalLiterals parses a wrapped snippet. The LiteralInfo.offset values therefore refer to positions inside wrapped, not inside dup.filePath. LiteralCollectorVisitor.collect used through DuplicateReportContext.fromAstCandidates returns real file offsets. The same type now carries two different offset meanings.

Only text is consumed today, so behavior is correct. A future caller that builds a SolidDiagnosticMessage from LiteralInfo.offset would point at the wrong location. Add a doc note here, or return literals with corrected offsets (offset - prefixLength + dup.entry.offset).

findPackageRoot caches negative results for the isolate lifetime.

putIfAbsent on a Map<String, String?> stores null when no ancestor holds pubspec.yaml. A stored null counts as present, so the lookup never runs again for that directory. In the long-lived plugin isolate, a package root created after the first lookup (new package, pubspec.yaml added, or a fresh checkout) is never discovered until the isolate restarts.

Cache only successful lookups if that behavior is not intended.
