How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to When Git cannot be launched, the command can still expose a raw traceback and return the wrong failure status, while Git’s diagnostic may be hidden.

WARNING: CalledProcessError.stderr is discarded
The except subprocess.CalledProcessError: block does not bind the exception, so the actual git error output (e.g., fatal: bad revision 'origin/no-such-ref') is lost. Users see a generic "git diff ... failed" message without the underlying cause, making debugging harder.

SUGGESTION: Test does not verify stderr preservation
The test sets error.stderr to a realistic git error message on line 232, but the assertions here only check for the command name and ref. They never verify that the actual git diagnostic appears in the captured output. Add an assertion like assert "fatal: bad revision" in captured.err to ensure the error message is useful.

_run_git now takes ref= so a git failure can name the ref it failed on, and every caller passes it. TestCommitsWithMessagesParsing's monkeypatched double still took a single argument, so all three of its tests died with TypeError: _parse.<locals>.<lambda>() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ref' which says nothing about the parser they exist to test. A test double has to accept the real signature or it stops testing the thing. 65 passed in tests/test_doc_gate.py.

Translate Git process-launch failures.
subprocess.run() raises OSError subclasses such as FileNotFoundError before Git returns a non-zero status. _run_git() catches only subprocess.CalledProcessError, so main() emits a traceback and returns 1 instead of EXIT_GIT_ERROR. Catch OSError and add a regression test for FileNotFoundError.

#2392 landed the A/M satisfaction filter in scripts/check_doc_gate.py after this branch was cut. This branch edits the same file, so without the merge it wins outright and silently deletes that fix -- which is what deleted-symbols-gate caught. Both changes are kept: the git-error handling here and #2392's 'a deleted require_doc does not satisfy' there.
#2393 merged at 17:17Z, ten minutes AFTER this branch's deleted-symbols-gate ran at 17:07Z. The gate was green against a dev that did not yet contain EXIT_GIT_ERROR, so it proved nothing about the current merge result -- and the merge is conflict-free, so nothing else would have objected either. Without this merge the branch wins outright on scripts/check_doc_gate.py and silently deletes #2393's git-error handling. Third occurrence today on this one file (#2391, #2393, now this).

RED EVIDENCE (produced by @taOS-dev at review; the card demands it and the PR body carried none)
Method: on this branch, revert ONLY
scripts/check_doc_gate.pyto the merge-base(
5be88801) and run the new tests against it. Test files unchanged, so this is the newtests meeting the old code.
That is the defect: pre-fix, a git failure escapes as an uncaught
CalledProcessErrortraceback out of
_run_git. The two sibling tests (test_genuine_violation_still_exits_1,test_clean_run_still_exits_0) pass BOTH ways by design and are controls, not red evidence-- they exist so the fix cannot be "achieved" by swallowing every exit into the new code.
After the fix, both doc-gate test files: 81 passed.

Reviewed and NOT changed here
The gate's exit contract gains 4 = git infrastructure failure, distinct from 1 = violation.
This is the right shape and the same class as two other findings today: a check that cannot
SEE must say so rather than report a verdict.
orphan_checkhas the identical problem(running a wrong filename exits 2, which its contract defines as "informational", so an
absent check is indistinguishable from a clean one).
One observation, deliberately NOT actioned in this PR: doc-gate has TWO long-standing test
files,
tests/test_doc_gate.py(696 lines) andtests/test_check_doc_gate.py(218). Bothpredate this branch. Running one and reporting its count as the suite is a live trap -- it
cost me a wrong "15 passed" claim on a two-file bus suite earlier today. Carded separately
rather than folded in, because the split is not this PR's doing and its scope is correct as
it stands.
