    • Configurable failure threshold (default: 3 consecutive failures)
    • Automatic cooldown period (default: 5 minutes)
    • Single probe request during recovery testing
    • Persistent state across process restarts
    • In-memory fallback when storage unavailable
    • Concurrency-safe with promise-chain locks
    • Lock cleanup timer prevents deadlocks (10s timeout)
    • Implementation: src/providers/circuit-breaker.ts

  • Live Progress Tracking - Real-time PR status updates:

    • Progress comment updated during review execution
    • Shows provider health status, file batches, and completion percentage
    • Reuses single comment to avoid spam
    • Automatic retry with exponential backoff on GitHub API failures
    • Rate limit tracking and header inspection
    • Implementation: src/github/comment-poster.ts, src/github/rate-limit.ts

  • Provider Discovery - Automatic fallback provider discovery:

    • Filters out blocked/paid providers after 402 responses
    • Broadened discovery pool with extra health-check retries
    • Allows fallback with healthy OpenCode providers
    • Records health check successes for reliability tracking
    • Implementation: src/providers/registry.ts

Code Review Quality

  • Defensive Programming Auto-Detection - Intelligent false positive reduction:

    • Auto-detects 14+ defensive programming patterns in code diffs
    • Automatically injects context into LLM prompts (no configuration needed)
    • Detects type checks, null checks, try-catch blocks, validation patterns

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Cache Version Bump - Cache schema updated from v3 to v4:

  • Impact: Previous cache entries will be invalidated
  • Reason: Added data field validation and schema changes
  • Migration: Cache will automatically rebuild on first run after upgrade
  • Performance: First review after upgrade may be slower (no cache hits)

⚠️ Configuration Schema Changes - New required fields:

  • providerExplorationRate (default: 0.3) - Controls exploit/explore balance
  • providerSelectionStrategy (default: 'reliability') - Provider selection algorithm

Migration Guide

Upgrading from v0.2.x to v0.3.0

  1. Update Configuration (optional, defaults provided):

    # Add to your .github/multi-provider-review.yml if you want custom values
providerExplorationRate: 0.3  # 30% exploration, 70% exploitation
providerSelectionStrategy: reliability  # or 'random'

  2. Clear Cache (optional, for clean slate):

    rm -rf .mpr-cache

  3. Update Workflow (if you have custom workflow):

    • Review concurrency group configuration
    • Ensure fork PR secret handling is in place
    • Update to latest workflow from .github/workflows/multi-provider-review.yml

  4. Provider Configuration:

    • No changes needed - existing provider lists work as-is
    • Circuit breaker automatically manages unhealthy providers
    • Fallback discovery finds alternatives if configured providers fail

  5. First Run After Upgrade:

    • Expect cache rebuild (slower first review)
    • Circuit breaker starts with clean state (all providers healthy)
    • Progress tracking will show new status format

Rollback Procedure

If you need to rollback to v0.2.1:

  1. Checkout Previous Version:

    git checkout v0.2.1
npm install

  2. Clear v4 Cache:

    rm -rf .mpr-cache

  3. Restore Workflow (if modified):

    git checkout v0.2.1 -- .github/workflows/multi-provider-review.yml
git commit -m "Rollback to v0.2.1 workflow"
git push

  4. Known Rollback Issues:

    • Circuit breaker state will be lost (all providers reset to healthy)
    • Progress comments may have different format
    • Token-aware batching reverts to fixed batch sizes

  5. Report Rollback:

Monitoring Recommendations

Key Metrics to Track

  1. Circuit Breaker Health:

    • Monitor circuit state changes (CLOSED → OPEN transitions)
    • Track provider failure rates
    • Alert on providers stuck in OPEN state for > 1 hour
    • Check logs for: Circuit opened for, Circuit closed for

  2. Token Estimation Accuracy:

    • Monitor context window overflow errors (should be near zero)
    • Track batch sizes and utilization percentages
    • Alert on utilization > 90% (indicates safety margin is needed)
    • Check logs for: Context window has sufficient headroom

  3. Progress Tracking:

    • Monitor GitHub API rate limit consumption
    • Track comment update frequency
    • Alert on rate limit errors or 5xx responses
    • Check logs for: Rate limit, GitHub API error

  4. Provider Discovery:

    • Track fallback provider activation frequency
    • Monitor discovery success/failure rates
    • Alert if no healthy providers found
    • Check logs for: Discovering fallback providers, Health check

Alerting Setup

# Example: Monitor circuit breaker for stuck OPEN states
grep "Circuit opened for" logs.txt | \
  awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq -c | \
  awk '$1 > 3 {print "ALERT: Provider", $2, "opened", $1, "times"}'

# Example: Check token estimation overflows
grep "exceeds context window" logs.txt | wc -l

# Example: Track rate limit consumption
grep "Rate limit" logs.txt | tail -n 20

Dashboard Queries

If using structured logging (JSON):

// Circuit breaker state distribution
SELECT provider, state, COUNT(*)
FROM circuit_events
WHERE timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour'
GROUP BY provider, state

// Token utilization histogram
SELECT
  CASE
    WHEN utilization < 50 THEN 'Low'
    WHEN utilization < 75 THEN 'Medium'
    WHEN utilization < 90 THEN 'High'
    ELSE 'Critical'
  END AS utilization_band,
  COUNT(*) as requests
FROM batch_events
GROUP BY utilization_band

// Provider health over time
SELECT
  DATE_TRUNC('hour', timestamp) as hour,
  provider,
  AVG(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as success_rate
FROM health_checks
GROUP BY hour, provider
ORDER BY hour DESC

Performance

  • Batch Processing: Reviews now scale to hundreds of files without context overflow
  • Circuit Breaker: Eliminates wasted API calls to unhealthy providers
  • Progress Tracking: Minimal overhead (<1% of review time)
  • In-Memory Fallback: Zero degradation if storage temporarily unavailable

Security

  • Fork PR Protection: Hard fail prevents secret exposure via repository misconfiguration
  • Path Validation: Enhanced input sanitization in path matching
  • Workflow Isolation: Fixed concurrency collision prevents cross-event interference

  • New test coverage:
    • Circuit breaker concurrency and state transitions
    • Token estimation with various content types
