Summary by cubic

Adds greptile.json to enforce repo-specific PR review standards with strict checks and automated status reporting. Focuses reviews on safety patterns, backend contracts, error handling, and POSIX shell compliance.

New Features
- Settings: strictness 3, status check on, fixWithAI on, comment types logic/syntax, no re-review on updates.
- Context: CLAUDE.md, agents docs, safety patterns, backend module, ADRs.
- Ignore: lockfiles, snapshots, build artifacts, worktrees, kitty-specs task files.
- Rules: TDD for safety/, no unwrap/expect in src/, backends implement CommandGenerator with contract tests, use anyhow/thiserror, POSIX-compliant commands.

^{Written for commit 5a6855b. Summary will update on new commits.}

Pull request overview

This PR adds a Greptile configuration file (greptile.json) to enable automated PR review with domain-specific rules for caro's safety-critical patterns, backend trait contracts, error handling standards, and POSIX compliance requirements.

Changes:

Adds greptile.json with review settings, context files, ignore patterns, and custom coding rules for automated PR reviews

Copilot · 2026-01-28T07:49:37Z

greptile.json

+    "i18n/**",
+    "vendor/**"


The ignorePattern "vendor/**" references a directory that does not exist in the repository. This pattern should be removed as there is no vendor directory in the codebase.

Suggested change

"i18n/**",

"vendor/**"

"i18n/**"

Copilot · 2026-01-28T07:49:38Z

greptile.json

+      "id": "backend-trait-contract",
+      "description": "All inference backends must implement the InferenceBackend trait defined in src/inference/mod.rs. New backends require contract tests in tests/backend_trait_contract.rs.",
+      "paths": ["src/inference/**"]


The rule references "src/inference/" which does not exist in the repository. The actual directory is "src/backends/". The paths should be updated to ["src/backends/"] to match the actual codebase structure. Additionally, the description mentions "InferenceBackend trait" but the actual trait is named "CommandGenerator" as defined in src/backends/mod.rs.

Copilot · 2026-01-28T07:49:38Z

greptile.json

+    {
+      "id": "posix-compliance",
+      "description": "Generated shell commands must be POSIX-compliant. Do not use bash-specific syntax (arrays, [[ ]], process substitution) unless the detected shell is bash.",
+      "paths": ["src/prompts/**", "src/inference/**"]


The rule references "src/prompts/" and "src/inference/" in its paths. The "src/inference/" path does not exist in the repository - it should be "src/backends/" to match the actual directory structure.

Copilot · 2026-01-28T07:49:38Z

greptile.json

+    "CLAUDE.md",
+    "docs/development/AGENTS.md",
+    "src/safety/patterns.rs",
+    "src/inference/mod.rs",


The contextFile "src/inference/mod.rs" does not exist in the repository. The actual directory is "src/backends/" with the trait defined in "src/backends/mod.rs". This should be updated to "src/backends/mod.rs" to reference the correct file containing the CommandGenerator trait definition.

Suggested change

"src/inference/mod.rs",

"src/backends/mod.rs",

Copilot · 2026-01-28T07:49:38Z

greptile.json

+    "target/**",
+    ".worktrees/**",
+    "kitty-specs/**/tasks/**",
+    "i18n/**",


The ignorePattern "i18n/**" references a directory that does not exist in the repository. This pattern should be removed unless there are plans to add i18n support in the near future.

Suggested change

"i18n/**",

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Adds greptile.json configuration file to enable Greptile-powered PR reviews with safety-critical rules for the caro project. The configuration enforces 7 domain-specific rules covering TDD for safety patterns, error handling standards (anyhow::Result and thiserror), POSIX compliance for shell commands, and backend trait contracts.

Critical Issues Found:

Incorrect context file path: src/inference/mod.rs doesn't exist (should be src/backends/mod.rs)
Wrong trait name in backend-trait-contract rule: references InferenceBackend but actual trait is CommandGenerator
Wrong path pattern in backend-trait-contract rule: uses src/inference/** but should be src/backends/**

Configuration Quality:

Strong rule coverage aligning with CLAUDE.md development guide
Appropriate ignore patterns for lock files, snapshots, and i18n translations
Good context file selection (safety patterns, ADRs, agent documentation)
Reasonable maxComments: 15 limit to avoid review fatigue

Confidence Score: 2/5

This PR contains configuration errors that will cause the review bot to fail when loading context files and validating against incorrect paths
Score reflects critical path mismatches that break functionality: non-existent src/inference/mod.rs context file and incorrect trait/path references in rules. While the overall configuration structure is sound, these errors will prevent the bot from working correctly until fixed.
The greptile.json file requires immediate correction of path references before the configuration can function

Next Steps

Review warnings and address any gaps
Update website if claims are inaccurate
Implement missing features if claims are aspirational

- src/inference/ → src/backends/ (correct directory) - InferenceBackend → CommandGenerator (correct trait name) - Remove non-existent i18n/** and vendor/** ignore patterns https://claude.ai/code/session_01LYoJKgR9eQrhQgG5Z3JbPm

Previous config used invented keys (reviewSettings, contextFiles, rules with id/paths). Rewritten to use the documented schema: strictness, triggerOnUpdates, customContext with rules/files/scope, ignorePatterns as newline-separated string, etc. https://claude.ai/code/session_01LYoJKgR9eQrhQgG5Z3JbPm
