Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Filter diagnostics, review results and quickfix entries by severity: critical, major or minor.
    • Choose a severity filter when using the show and quickfix commands, for the latest or a saved review. Filters can also be set in configuration.
    • Filtered results show the number of matches, and empty results explain when no findings match the selected severity.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance and examples for severity filters, accepted values and command options.

Findings

Minor Validate the filter before replacing current results.
Major Clear previous diagnostics before applying a new review filter.
Minor Validate every value before accepting all.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Review comments at @lua/coderabbit/review.lua:
- Around line 118-122: In M.run, parse and validate diagnostics.severity_filter
with severity.parse_filter before clearing or otherwise changing state.findings;
if validation fails, return with the previous review results intact.
- Line 163: Update M.run to clear the existing CodeRabbit diagnostics namespace
when a valid new review starts, before applying the selected filter and
publishing diagnostics. Use the established namespace-clearing mechanism so
diagnostics from the previous review are replaced, while preserving the current
filter behaviour.

Review comments at @lua/coderabbit/severity.lua:
- Around line 45-46: Update append_filter_values to validate every parsed value
before returning the unfiltered result for “all” or “*”. Ensure an invalid value
elsewhere in the list is still rejected rather than bypassed by an earlier “all”
token.

Walkthrough

The plugin now supports severity filters for diagnostics, review display, and quickfix output. Users can supply filters through configuration, commands, or Lua options. The changes also add filter parsing, validation, documentation, and tests.

Changes: Severity filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Severity filter contract
lua/coderabbit/severity.lua, lua/coderabbit/config.lua, tests/coderabbit/severity_spec.lua, README.md, doc/coderabbit.txt
The new severity module normalises severity values, parses filters, and matches findings. Configuration defaults and documentation describe the supported filter settings.
Command and Lua API arguments
plugin/coderabbit.lua, lua/coderabbit/init.lua, README.md, doc/coderabbit.txt
The show and quickfix commands accept review IDs and severity filters. The Lua entry points accept optional options and forward them to their implementations.
Diagnostic filtering and restore
lua/coderabbit/review.lua, tests/coderabbit/restore_spec.lua
Review diagnostics and restored diagnostics are limited by the configured filter. Invalid filters stop the operation.
Filtered review display
lua/coderabbit/show.lua, tests/coderabbit/show_spec.lua
The show path filters findings and reports filtered counts. It also displays severity metadata and a filter-specific empty state.
Filtered quickfix output
lua/coderabbit/quickfix.lua, lua/coderabbit/review.lua, tests/coderabbit/quickfix_spec.lua
The quickfix path filters findings before converting them to items. It validates filters and adds the active filter to the quickfix title.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 913b7

An invalid filter can discard current results, while a new filtered review can leave old diagnostics visible. Fix these behaviors before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 52.94% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 17 functions across 11 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
