Purchase more credits in the billing tab to continue. ⌛ How to resolve this issue?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 credits. 🚦 How do rate limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan refill rate. 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, the refill rate gradually slows as usage increases.

Code Review
This pull request moves the Gitleaks and detect-secrets configuration files into a .config/ subdirectory, updates the documentation and runbooks to reflect these new paths, and adds file exclusion patterns to the detect-secrets scan command. The review feedback highlights a security risk where enabling useDefault = true alongside weaker custom rules in .gitleaks.toml overrides default Gitleaks rules. Additionally, the reviewer suggests modifying the detect-secrets file exclusion regex to support both forward slashes and backslashes, ensuring cross-platform compatibility for Windows users.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

| useDefault = true |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Enabling useDefault = true while having custom rules with duplicate IDs (such as aws-access-key, github-pat, and private-key defined later in this file) will override the default Gitleaks rules entirely. This is a significant security risk because the custom aws-access-key rule defined in this file only matches AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}, which is much weaker than Gitleaks' default AWS rule (which also detects ASIA, AROA, AIDA, etc.). Consider removing these duplicate custom rules and using the global [allowlist] instead to avoid reducing scanner coverage.

The --exclude-files regex uses / as a path separator. On Windows, detect-secrets (which runs on Python) uses the OS-specific path separator (backslash \\), which means this regex will fail to match and exclude these directories on Windows. To make the command cross-platform and robust for developers on all operating systems, the regex should support both / and \\ as path separators.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:
- The detect-secrets post-processing (baseline handling,
jqdiff logic, andDETECT_EXCLUDEregex) is duplicated across both workflows; consider extracting this into a shared script or reusable workflow to keep the logic in one place and reduce the risk of divergence over time. - Similarly, the Gitleaks configuration resolution (
.config/.gitleaks.tomlvs.gitleaks.toml) and invocation flags are duplicated in both workflows; you might want to centralize this into a shared helper to ensure future changes to config handling only need to be made once.

| useDefault = true |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Per Gitleaks' configuration docs, rules in an extended config override default rules with the same id; this repo already has a local id = "generic-api-key" rule below that only matches api_key/apikey. Since the workflows now load this .config/.gitleaks.toml instead of falling back to the built-in config, enabling useDefault here causes the pinned v8.18.1 default generic-api-key detector to be replaced, so generic secrets such as TOKEN=..., client_secret=..., or password=... that were previously caught by Gitleaks can be missed unless another scanner happens to catch them.

Because this now prefers .config/.gitleaks.toml from the checkout, a PR that also touches a scanned path can make that config invalid or otherwise cause gitleaks detect to exit before writing gitleaks-results.json; the || true here suppresses that failure, and the report-file check below records found_secrets=false. That turns scanner/config errors into a clean Gitleaks result, so fail the step or use a trusted base-branch config when the scan command fails without producing a report.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The fallback here converts any jq/baseline parse error into an empty detect-secrets-new-findings.json. In PR runs where the baseline is read from the checkout, a malformed .config/.secrets.baseline or broken scan output can make the comparison fail and the later count reports found_secrets=false, even if the same PR added a new secret in a scanned path. Please fail closed on comparison errors instead of writing [].

On pull_request runs the checkout is the PR head, and this command now runs Gitleaks with the PR's own .config/.gitleaks.toml. If a PR adds a secret under a scanned path such as src/** while also relaxing that config (for example by allowlisting the path or disabling a rule), this workflow still runs but Gitleaks evaluates the attacker-controlled policy and can report clean. Load the scanner config from the base branch, or require config changes to be reviewed before applying them to PR scans.

With useDefault enabled, Gitleaks extended rules with the same id override built-ins, and this repo defines its own id = "private-key" rule below. That replacement only matches RSA|DSA|EC|OPENSSH|PGP before PRIVATE KEY, so commits containing common PKCS8 or encrypted headers such as -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- or -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- no longer trigger Gitleaks even though the default private-key detector covers these cases. Rename the custom rule or broaden it so enabling defaults does not weaken private-key coverage.
