feat: add CodeRabbit integration for AI-powered code reviews

This commit introduces the CodeRabbit service and its associated routes, enabling users to trigger, manage, and check the status of code reviews through a new API. Key features include:

- New routes for triggering code reviews, checking status, and stopping reviews.
- Integration with the CodeRabbit CLI for authentication and status checks.
- UI components for displaying code review results and settings management.
- Unit tests for the new code review functionality to ensure reliability.

This enhancement aims to streamline the code review process and leverage AI capabilities for improved code quality.

 This section covers everything you need to know about contributing changes through pull requests, from creating your branch to getting your code merged.
 
+### Branching Strategy (RC Branches)
+
+Automaker uses **Release Candidate (RC) branches** for all development work. Understanding this workflow is essential before contributing.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. **All development happens on RC branches** - We maintain version-specific RC branches (e.g., `v0.10.0rc`, `v0.11.0rc`) where all active development occurs
+2. **RC branches are eventually merged to main** - Once an RC branch is stable and ready for release, it gets merged into `main`
+3. **Main branch is for releases only** - The `main` branch contains only released, stable code
+
+**Before creating a PR:**
+
+1. **Check for the latest RC branch** - Before starting work, check the repository for the current RC branch:
+
+   ```bash
+   git fetch upstream
+   git branch -r | grep rc
+   ```
+
+2. **Base your work on the RC branch** - Create your feature branch from the latest RC branch, not from `main`:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Find the latest RC branch (e.g., v0.11.0rc)
+   git checkout upstream/v0.11.0rc
+   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+   ```
+
+3. **Target the RC branch in your PR** - When opening your pull request, set the base branch to the current RC branch, not `main`
+
+**Example workflow:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Fetch latest changes
+git fetch upstream
+
+# 2. Check for RC branches
+git branch -r | grep rc
+# Output: upstream/v0.11.0rc
+
+# 3. Create your branch from the RC
+git checkout -b feature/add-dark-mode upstream/v0.11.0rc
+
+# 4. Make your changes and commit
+git commit -m "feat: Add dark mode support"
+
+# 5. Push to your fork
+git push origin feature/add-dark-mode
+
+# 6. Open PR targeting the RC branch (v0.11.0rc), NOT main
+```
+
+**Important:** PRs opened directly against `main` will be asked to retarget to the current RC branch.

+# Development Workflow
+
+This document defines the standard workflow for keeping a branch in sync with the upstream
+release candidate (RC) and for shipping feature work. It is paired with `check-sync.sh`.
+
+## Quick Decision Rule
+
+1. Ask the user to select a workflow:
+   - **Sync Workflow** → you are maintaining the current RC branch with fixes/improvements
+     and will push the same fixes to both origin and upstream RC when you have local
+     commits to publish.
+   - **PR Workflow** → you are starting new feature work on a new branch; upstream updates
+     happen via PR only.
+2. After the user selects, run:
+   ```bash
+   ./check-sync.sh
+   ```
+3. Use the status output to confirm alignment. If it reports **diverged**, default to
+   merging `upstream/<TARGET_RC>` into the current branch and preserving local commits.
+   For Sync Workflow, when the working tree is clean and you are behind upstream RC,
+   proceed with the fetch + merge without asking for additional confirmation.
+
+## Target RC Resolution
+
+The target RC is resolved dynamically so the workflow stays current as the RC changes.
+
+Resolution order:
+
+1. Latest `upstream/v*rc` branch (auto-detected)
+2. `upstream/HEAD` (fallback)
+3. If neither is available, you must pass `--rc <branch>`
+
+Override for a single run:
+
+```bash
+./check-sync.sh --rc <rc-branch>
+```
+
+## Pre-Flight Checklist
+
+1. Confirm a clean working tree:
+   ```bash
+   git status
+   ```
+2. Confirm the current branch:
+   ```bash
+   git branch --show-current
+   ```
+3. Ensure remotes exist (origin + upstream):
+   ```bash
+   git remote -v
+   ```
+
+## Sync Workflow (Upstream Sync)
+
+Use this flow when you are updating the current branch with fixes or improvements and
+intend to keep origin and upstream RC in lockstep.
+
+1. **Check sync status**
+   ```bash
+   ./check-sync.sh
+   ```
+2. **Update from upstream RC before editing (no pulls)**
+   - **Behind upstream RC** → fetch and merge RC into your branch:
+     ```bash
+     git fetch upstream
+     git merge upstream/<TARGET_RC> --no-edit
+     ```
+     When the working tree is clean and the user selected Sync Workflow, proceed without
+     an extra confirmation prompt.
+   - **Diverged** → stop and resolve manually.
+3. **Resolve conflicts if needed**
+   - Handle conflicts intelligently: preserve upstream behavior and your local intent.
+4. **Make changes and commit (if you are delivering fixes)**
+   ```bash
+   git add -A
+   git commit -m "type: description"
+   ```
+5. **Build to verify**
+   ```bash
+   npm run build:packages
+   npm run build
+   ```
+6. **Push after a successful merge to keep remotes aligned**
+   - If you only merged upstream RC changes, push **origin only** to sync your fork:
+     ```bash
+     git push origin <branch>
+     ```
+   - If you have local fixes to publish, push **origin + upstream**:
+     ```bash
+     git push origin <branch>
+     git push upstream <branch>:<TARGET_RC>
+     ```
+   - Always ask the user which push to perform.
+   - Origin (origin-only sync):
+     ```bash
+     git push origin <branch>
+     ```
+   - Upstream RC (publish the same fixes when you have local commits):
+     ```bash
+     git push upstream <branch>:<TARGET_RC>
+     ```
+7. **Re-check sync**
+   ```bash
+   ./check-sync.sh
+   ```
+
+## PR Workflow (Feature Work)
+
+Use this flow only for new feature work on a new branch. Do not push to upstream RC.
+
+1. **Create or switch to a feature branch**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b <branch>
+   ```
+2. **Make changes and commit**
+   ```bash
+   git add -A
+   git commit -m "type: description"
+   ```
+3. **Merge upstream RC before shipping**
+   ```bash
+   git merge upstream/<TARGET_RC> --no-edit
+   ```
+4. **Build and/or test**
+   ```bash
+   npm run build:packages
+   npm run build
+   ```
+5. **Push to origin**
+   ```bash
+   git push -u origin <branch>
+   ```
+6. **Create or update the PR**
+   - Use `gh pr create` or the GitHub UI.
+7. **Review and follow-up**
+
+- Apply feedback, commit changes, and push again.
+- Re-run `./check-sync.sh` if additional upstream sync is needed.
+
+## Conflict Resolution Checklist
+
+1. Identify which changes are from upstream vs. local.
+2. Preserve both behaviors where possible; avoid dropping either side.
+3. Prefer minimal, safe integrations over refactors.
+4. Re-run build commands after resolving conflicts.
+5. Re-run `./check-sync.sh` to confirm status.
+
+## Build/Test Matrix
+
+- **Sync Workflow**: `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build`.
+- **PR Workflow**: `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build` (plus relevant tests).
+
+## Post-Sync Verification
+
+1. `git status` should be clean.
+2. `./check-sync.sh` should show expected alignment.
+3. Verify recent commits with:
+   ```bash
+   git log --oneline -5
+   ```
+
+## check-sync.sh Usage
+
+- Uses dynamic Target RC resolution (see above).
+- Override target RC:
+  ```bash
+  ./check-sync.sh --rc <rc-branch>
+  ```
+- Optional preview limit:
+  ```bash
+  ./check-sync.sh --preview 10
+  ```
+- The script prints sync status for both origin and upstream and previews recent commits
+  when you are behind.
+
+## Stop Conditions
+
+Stop and ask for guidance if any of the following are true:
+
+- The working tree is dirty and you are about to merge or push.
+- `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during PR Workflow, or a merge cannot be completed.
+- The script cannot resolve a target RC and requests `--rc`.
+- A build fails after sync or conflict resolution.
+
+## AI Agent Guardrails
+
+- Always run `./check-sync.sh` before merges or pushes.
+- Always ask for explicit user approval before any push command.
+- Do not ask for additional confirmation before a Sync Workflow fetch + merge when the
+  working tree is clean and the user has already selected the Sync Workflow.
+- Choose Sync vs PR workflow based on intent (RC maintenance vs new feature work), not
+  on the script's workflow hint.
+- Only use force push when the user explicitly requests a history rewrite.
+- Ask for explicit approval before dependency installs, branch deletion, or destructive operations.
+- When resolving merge conflicts, preserve both upstream changes and local intent where possible.
+- Do not create or switch to new branches unless the user explicitly requests it.
+
+## AI Agent Decision Guidance
+
+Agents should provide concrete, task-specific suggestions instead of repeatedly asking
+open-ended questions. Use the user's stated goal and the `./check-sync.sh` status to
+propose a default path plus one or two alternatives, and only ask for confirmation when
+an action requires explicit approval.
+
+Default behavior:
+
+- If the intent is RC maintenance, recommend the Sync Workflow and proceed with
+  safe preparation steps (status checks, previews). If the branch is behind upstream RC,
+  fetch and merge without additional confirmation when the working tree is clean, then
+  push to origin to keep the fork aligned. Push upstream only when there are local fixes
+  to publish.
+- If the intent is new feature work, recommend the PR Workflow and proceed with safe
+  preparation steps (status checks, identifying scope). Ask for approval before merges,
+  pushes, or dependency installs.
+- If `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during Sync Workflow, merge
+  `upstream/<TARGET_RC>` into the current branch and preserve local commits.
+- If `./check-sync.sh` reports **diverged** during PR Workflow, stop and ask for guidance
+  with a short explanation of the divergence and the minimal options to resolve it.
+  If the user's intent is RC maintenance, prefer the Sync Workflow regardless of the
+  script hint. When the intent is new feature work, use the PR Workflow and avoid upstream
+  RC pushes.
+
+Suggestion format (keep it short):
+
+- **Recommended**: one sentence with the default path and why it fits the task.
+- **Alternatives**: one or two options with the tradeoff or prerequisite.
+- **Approval points**: mention any upcoming actions that need explicit approval (exclude sync
+  workflow pushes and merges).
+
+## Failure Modes and How to Avoid Them
+
+Sync Workflow:
+
+- Wrong RC target: verify the auto-detected RC in `./check-sync.sh` output before merging.
+- Diverged from upstream RC: stop and resolve manually before any merge or push.
+- Dirty working tree: commit or stash before syncing to avoid accidental merges.
+- Missing remotes: ensure both `origin` and `upstream` are configured before syncing.
+- Build breaks after sync: run `npm run build:packages` and `npm run build` before pushing.
+
+PR Workflow:
+
+- Branch not synced to current RC: re-run `./check-sync.sh` and merge RC before shipping.
+- Pushing the wrong branch: confirm `git branch --show-current` before pushing.
+- Unreviewed changes: always commit and push to origin before opening or updating a PR.
+- Skipped tests/builds: run the build commands before declaring the PR ready.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Avoid merging with uncommitted changes; commit or stash first.
+- Prefer merge over rebase for PR branches; rebases rewrite history and often require a force push,
+  which should only be done with an explicit user request.
+- Use clear, conventional commit messages and split unrelated changes into separate commits.

+- `AUTOMAKER_SKIP_SANDBOX_WARNING` - Skip sandbox warning dialog (useful for dev/CI)
 
 ### Authentication Setup
 
-#### Option 1: Claude Code CLI (Recommended)
+Automaker integrates with your authenticated Claude Code CLI and uses your Anthropic subscription.
 
 Install and authenticate the Claude Code CLI following the [official quickstart guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart).
 
 Once authenticated, Automaker will automatically detect and use your CLI credentials. No additional configuration needed!
 
-#### Option 2: Direct API Key
-
-If you prefer not to use the CLI, you can provide an Anthropic API key directly using one of these methods:
-
-##### 2a. Shell Configuration
-
-Add to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:
-
-```bash
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
-```
-
-Then restart your terminal or run `source ~/.bashrc` (or `source ~/.zshrc`).
-
-##### 2b. .env File
-
-Create a `.env` file in the project root (gitignored):
-
-```bash
-ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
-PORT=3008
-DATA_DIR=./data
-```
-
-##### 2c. In-App Storage
-
-The application can store your API key securely in the settings UI. The key is persisted in the `DATA_DIR` directory.

-export const ISSUE_VALIDATION_SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are an expert code analyst validating GitHub issues against a codebase.
-
-Your task is to analyze a GitHub issue and determine if it's valid by scanning the codebase.
-
-## Validation Process
-
-1. **Read the issue carefully** - Understand what is being reported or requested
-2. **Search the codebase** - Use Glob to find relevant files by pattern, Grep to search for keywords
-3. **Examine the code** - Use Read to look at the actual implementation in relevant files
-4. **Check linked PRs** - If there are linked pull requests, use \`gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>\` to review the changes
-5. **Form your verdict** - Based on your analysis, determine if the issue is valid
-
-## Verdicts
-
-- **valid**: The issue describes a real problem that exists in the codebase, or a clear feature request that can be implemented. The referenced files/components exist and the issue is actionable.
-
-- **invalid**: The issue describes behavior that doesn't exist, references non-existent files or components, is based on a misunderstanding of the code, or the described "bug" is actually expected behavior.
-
-- **needs_clarification**: The issue lacks sufficient detail to verify. Specify what additional information is needed in the missingInfo field.
-
-## For Bug Reports, Check:
-- Do the referenced files/components exist?
-- Does the code match what the issue describes?
-- Is the described behavior actually a bug or expected?
-- Can you locate the code that would cause the reported issue?
-
-## For Feature Requests, Check:
-- Does the feature already exist?
-- Is the implementation location clear?
-- Is the request technically feasible given the codebase structure?
-
-## Analyzing Linked Pull Requests
-
-When an issue has linked PRs (especially open ones), you MUST analyze them:
-
-1. **Run \`gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>\`** to see what changes the PR makes
-2. **Run \`gh pr view <PR_NUMBER>\`** to see PR description and status
-3. **Evaluate if the PR fixes the issue** - Does the diff address the reported problem?
-4. **Provide a recommendation**:
-   - \`wait_for_merge\`: The PR appears to fix the issue correctly. No additional work needed - just wait for it to be merged.
-   - \`pr_needs_work\`: The PR attempts to fix the issue but is incomplete or has problems.
-   - \`no_pr\`: No relevant PR exists for this issue.
-
-5. **Include prAnalysis in your response** with:
-   - hasOpenPR: true/false
-   - prFixesIssue: true/false (based on diff analysis)
-   - prNumber: the PR number you analyzed
-   - prSummary: brief description of what the PR changes
-   - recommendation: one of the above values
-
-## Response Guidelines
-
-- **Always include relatedFiles** when you find relevant code
-- **Set bugConfirmed to true** only if you can definitively confirm a bug exists in the code
-- **Provide a suggestedFix** when you have a clear idea of how to address the issue
-- **Use missingInfo** when the verdict is needs_clarification to list what's needed
-- **Include prAnalysis** when there are linked PRs - this is critical for avoiding duplicate work
-- **Set estimatedComplexity** to help prioritize:
-  - trivial: Simple text changes, one-line fixes
-  - simple: Small changes to one file
-  - moderate: Changes to multiple files or moderate logic changes
-  - complex: Significant refactoring or new feature implementation
-  - very_complex: Major architectural changes or cross-cutting concerns
-
-Be thorough in your analysis but focus on files that are directly relevant to the issue.`;
