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.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe changes replace iOS sample-buffer rendering with WebRTC shared Metal rendering, correct previous-track detachment, and update iOS/macOS texture renderers to reuse buffers, optimize NV12 delivery, handle rotation efficiently, and retain the current frame buffer.

- Around line 70-84: Update ensureNV12BufferWithWidth:height: to accept the
source pixel format and use it when creating _nv12BufferRef, rather than always
selecting kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange. Pass renderFrame:’s
fmt through this method so both video-range and full-range NV12 frames retain
their correct color range.
In
`@macos/stream_webrtc_flutter/Sources/stream_webrtc_flutter/FlutterRTCVideoRenderer.m`:
- Around line 70-84: Update ensureNV12BufferWithWidth:height: to accept the
source fmt, create _nv12BufferRef with that format, and include fmt in the
reuse-validity check so a format change recreates the buffer. Propagate fmt from
the crop path and validate the CVPixelBufferCreate result before retaining or
using the buffer.
- Around line 245-293: Double-buffer the cropped NV12 output used by the
renderer: replace the single _nv12BufferRef handoff in cropAndScaleTo: with two
reusable NV12 pixel buffers, selecting the buffer not currently published as
_currentBuffer before each crop. Update ensureNV12BufferWithWidth:height: and
the cleanup/state handling so both buffers are allocated, reused, and released
safely, while preserving the existing zero-copy path for unpadded IOSurface
frames.

- _cropTempSize is updated even when malloc fails — FlutterRTCVideoRenderer.m:~278
_cropTempBuffer = malloc((size_t)tmpSize);
_cropTempSize = (size_t)tmpSize; // set unconditionally
On allocation failure _cropTempBuffer == NULL while _cropTempSize claims the buffer is large enough. It self-heals next frame (the == NULL check re-triggers), but this frame calls cropAndScaleTo:withTempBuffer:NULL with a non-zero required size — for NV12 sources bufferSizeForCroppingAndScalingToWidth: always returns non-zero, so libyuv writes through a null pointer. Set the size only on success and skip the crop otherwise.
- The crop target should be frame.width/frame.height, not cropWidth/cropHeight — renderFrame:
RTCCVPixelBuffer carries both a crop rect and an adapted size; frame.width/frame.height are the adapted dimensions, and cropAndScaleTo: is designed to produce exactly those. As written:
- The crop branch allocates and fills at pre-scale resolution, ignoring the downscale the frame adapter asked for.
- The zero-copy branch gates on requiresCropping only — a buffer needing pure scaling (requiresScalingToWidth:height:) passes through at full resolution.
Consequence: the texture's real dimensions can disagree with the didTextureChangeVideoSize value sent to Dart, and you allocate/upload more pixels than requested. Most visible for local camera preview (adapter-scaled 1080p buffers), harmless-looking because Flutter rescales — but it silently defeats resolution adaptation. Passing frame.width/frame.height as the target fixes both branches.
