CodeRabbit request_changes_workflow draft pull request auto approval comments resolved latest commit pre-merge checks documentation

💡 Result:

Here’s the documented workflow behavior:

- **Draft PRs:** CodeRabbit normally skips reviews while a PR is draft. Changing draft status alone generally won’t trigger a review on GitHub; push a code change or manually request one with `@coderabbitai review` or `@coderabbitai full review`. ([kb.coderabbit.ai](https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/1442026547-troubleshoot-why-coderabbit-reviews-might-not-trigger))
- **Request-changes workflow:** This makes findings a formal GitHub “Request changes” review. GitHub permission limits can prevent CodeRabbit from submitting it; CodeRabbit needs the required repository access. ([kb.coderabbit.ai](https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/7925086077))
- **Resolved comments / auto-approval:** I couldn’t verify from the current official sources that resolving all comments automatically approves the PR, or that approval is guaranteed to correspond to the latest commit. Approval/rejection events themselves don’t trigger a new review. For a fresh review, trigger one after the final push; use branch protection and required checks to gate merging. ([kb.coderabbit.ai](https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/1442026547-troubleshoot-why-coderabbit-reviews-might-not-trigger))
- **Pre-merge checks:** CodeRabbit says these run when a PR opens or updates, and can enforce built-in or custom rules in warning or error mode. ([coderabbit.ai](https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/pre-merge-checks-built-in-and-custom-pr-enforced))

**Bottom line:** Don’t treat resolved threads or CodeRabbit’s approval as proof that the latest commit was reviewed. Trigger a review on the final code and require your CI/pre-merge checks before merging.

💡 Result:

The closest current CodeRabbit sources establish:

- **`request_changes_workflow`**: If enabled, CodeRabbit may submit a “request changes” review; GitHub’s Code Review Limits can block that unless CodeRabbit has at least read access. The KB article explains the failure and workaround, but does **not** establish rules for auto-approval. ([kb.coderabbit.ai](https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/7925086077?utm_source=openai))
- **Drafts**: CodeRabbit normally skips reviews when a PR is draft; converting a draft to ready does not generally trigger a review on GitHub (GitLab is an exception). ([kb.coderabbit.ai](https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/1442026547-troubleshoot-why-coderabbit-reviews-might-not-trigger?utm_source=openai))
- **Resolved comments**: Autofix processes unresolved CodeRabbit findings and skips comments you manually resolve. ([coderabbit.ai](https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/you-don-t-need-to-implement-that-autofix-will?utm_source=openai))
- **Pre-merge checks**: These run when a PR opens or updates, and can report warnings or errors. ([coderabbit.ai](https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/pre-merge-checks-built-in-and-custom-pr-enforced?utm_source=openai))

I didn’t find a source establishing a combined workflow for **auto-approval, resolved comments, latest-commit behavior, pre-merge checks, and drafts** under `request_changes_workflow`. The sources above cover those topics separately; they don’t confirm that approval is automatic or that the described behavior applies to a particular configuration version.

Correct the review coverage and workflow description.

CodeRabbit normally skips draft pull requests, and this configuration does not enable draft reviews. request_changes_workflow can submit a formal “changes requested” review when findings exist. Do not document automatic approval conditions that CodeRabbit does not define for this configuration.

Review comment at @.coderabbit.yaml around lines 2 - 4:
Update the CodeRabbit workflow description in the configuration comments to note
that draft pull requests are normally skipped and that request_changes_workflow
can submit a formal “changes requested” review when findings exist; remove the
claim that CodeRabbit automatically approves pull requests with no findings.
