Poem

A browser’s path, now steady and able,
From brave to brave-stable, neat on the table.
No loops to twist, no tasks to tangle,
Just a clean reroute, a subtle angle.
Clicks march on—default set, no fable.

Tip

👮 Agentic pre-merge checks are now available in preview!

Pro plan users can now enable pre-merge checks in their settings to enforce checklists before merging PRs.

• Built-in checks – Quickly apply ready-made checks to enforce title conventions, require pull request descriptions that follow templates, validate linked issues for compliance, and more.
• Custom agentic checks – Define your own rules using CodeRabbit’s advanced agentic capabilities to enforce organization-specific policies and workflows. For example, you can instruct CodeRabbit’s agent to verify that API documentation is updated whenever API schema files are modified in a PR. Note: Upto 5 custom checks are currently allowed during the preview period. Pricing for this feature will be announced in a few weeks.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Example:

reviews:
  pre_merge_checks:
    custom_checks:
      - name: "Undocumented Breaking Changes"
        mode: "warning"
        instructions: |
          Pass/fail criteria: All breaking changes to public APIs, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, database schemas, or HTTP/GraphQL endpoints must be documented in the "Breaking Change" section of the PR description and in CHANGELOG.md. Exclude purely internal or private changes (e.g., code not exported from package entry points or explicitly marked as internal).

86-90: Approve — verify Brave binary & alternatives on target hosts

• Verification script produced no output; unable to confirm /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable or x-www-browser entries. Run on a representative host and paste the output:

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
command -v update-alternatives >/dev/null
# Confirm binary exists
if [[ -x /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable ]]; then
  echo "OK: /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable present"
else
  echo "MISSING: /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable" && exit 1
fi
# Show current x-www-browser alternatives
update-alternatives --query x-www-browser || update-alternatives --display x-www-browser || true
# Optional: confirm selection
update-alternatives --list x-www-browser | sed 's/^/candidate: /'

• Optional hardening: set priority (e.g., 201) and register gnome-www-browser -> /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable to lock default.
