Types of changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Reviewer, please remember our guidelines:

• Be humble in the language and feedback you give, ask don't tell.
• Consider using positive language as opposed to neutral when offering feedback. This is to avoid the negative bias that can occur with neutral language appearing negative.
• Offer suggestions on how to improve code e.g. simplification or expanding clarity.
• Ensure you give reasons for the changes you are proposing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Made date parameters optional for the reindexing task: START_DATE now defaults to yesterday when omitted, and END_DATE defaults to START_DATE. Removed the hard error for a missing START_DATE while keeping validation that END_DATE cannot be before START_DATE. Updated task help text with an example invocation; invocation path remains unchanged.

Tip

CodeRabbit can use TruffleHog to scan for secrets in your code with verification capabilities.

Add a TruffleHog config file (e.g. trufflehog-config.yml, trufflehog.yml) to your project to customize detectors and scanning behavior. The tool runs only when a config file is present.

Inline comments:
In `@lib/tasks/event.rake`:
- Line 39: The long comment on the task description line (the comment
referencing START_DATE/END_DATE and the example command for
event:reindex_touched_dois) exceeds RuboCop's Layout/LineLength; break this
single long comment into multiple shorter comment lines (e.g. split the sentence
and place the example command on its own commented line) so each line is under
the max length while preserving the exact information about START_DATE
defaulting to yesterday, END_DATE defaulting to START_DATE, and the example
command `START_DATE=2026-03-01 END_DATE=2026-03-02 bundle exec rake
event:reindex_touched_dois`.
