V 1.2

CodeRabbit for macOS 1.2

This release focuses on UI polish, update visibility, and more graceful review error handling.

Highlights

• Improved plain-text review error handling:

  • Prioritizes detailed REVIEW ERROR lines over generic startup failures.
  • Converts vague failures into clearer, actionable messages (including “No files found for review” cases).
  • Added parser test coverage for these error paths.

• Better review history UX:

  • Sidebar now previews recent history with a “Show more” flow.
  • Added per-project history clearing from the sidebar.
  • Added confirmation dialog for destructive history clears.
  • Improved history detail header presentation.

• App update awareness:

  • Added GitHub release update service and app update metadata handling.
  • Optional automatic update check on app launch.
  • Manual “Check for Updates” in Settings with quick actions for download/release notes.
  • In-app update prompt card in the main review experience.

• Settings and onboarding improvements:

  • Settings reorganized for clearer sections (CLI path, instructions, appearance, updates, history/project cleanup).
  • Improved install command visibility/copy flow.
  • Updated README with streamlined onboarding and support links.

• Community/repo improvements:

  • Added GitHub issue templates for bug reports and feature requests.
  • Added issue template config with contact link.

Release Notes

Highlights

• Major UI refactor for maintainability
• Better run-state recovery after interruptions/reboots
• More accurate branch diff summary behavior
• Improved review UX for “no findings” and running-state flows
• Window chrome cleanup (removed top title bar)

What’s Changed

Refactor

• Split the oversized ContentView.swift into focused files:
  • ContentView.swift (thin composition/state)
  • ContentView+UI.swift (view rendering)
  • ContentView+Logic.swift (logic/helpers)
  • ContentViewSharedTypes.swift (shared enums/models)
  • View+LiquidGlass.swift (shared styling modifiers)

Reliability / Recovery

• Added stale-run recovery so interrupted sessions (sleep/lid close/forced app close) no longer leave the app stuck in a fake “running” state.
• Added wake/activate/on-launch recovery checks.
• Added reboot-safe rate-limit restoration:
  • On startup, app scans persisted history and restores active cooldown (nextAllowedRunAt) if still valid.

Diff Snapshot Improvements

• Updated branch comparison summary logic to use merge-base against working tree, so change stats include:
  • committed branch changes since divergence
  • staged changes
  • unstaged changes

UX Improvements

• Clicking New Review during an active run now opens the normal New Review/settings screen while keeping Run Review disabled until the run is actually available.
• Added a large green success checkmark for no-finding reviews.
• Moved no-findings content higher in the results panel for better visual balance.

Window / Chrome

• Removed top title/toolbar bar entirely:
  • hidden title bar window style
  • hidden window toolbar

Build Status

• Verified with local macOS build: BUILD SUCCEEDED.
