Field finding, twice in one session: the author declared topic as an input (its why even said 'so this plan works for future poem topics too') and then also pasted the value into the ask prose. The lowering attaches declared values automatically, so the paste is redundant at run time and poisonous at reuse time — selected for a different value, the generated prompt carries both, and the keep gate rightly refuses to file the plan. Result: episodes satisfy, nothing compounds, the shelf stays empty from cold starts.

Two-layer fix along the crate's usual line (mechanical refusal > prompt hope):

  • recipe::lower refuses an ask containing a distinctive declared value (via reuse::distinctive"on" appearing in prose is not evidence), naming the step and the remedy so the author's feedback round fixes it before anything runs.
  • The recipe prompt states the rule ("NEVER also paste a value into an ask…").
  • keep's own paste gate stays as defense-in-depth for paths intake cannot see; the driver test now pins that arrangement with a run-script paste (which intake deliberately does not police — scripts legitimately contain literals).

New tests: refusal with remedy, the clean equivalent lowering fine, and the indistinct-value non-refusal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation to prevent prompts from redundantly embedding declared input values.
    • Improved error messages to identify affected steps and suggest corrective wording.
    • Avoided false positives for short, non-distinctive values.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for rejected embedded inputs, corrected prompts, and non-reusable workflows.
    • Verified that workflows are blocked appropriately when prompts contain hardcoded inputs.

Observed on a live host, twice in one session: the author declared
`topic` as an input — its why even said 'so this plan works for future
poem topics too' — and then ALSO wrote the value into the ask prose.
The lowering attaches declared values automatically, so the paste is
redundant now and poisonous later: selected for a different value, the
generated prompt carries both, and the keep gate rightly refuses to
file the plan. The episode satisfies and nothing compounds.

The refusal moves to where the feedback round can fix it: lower() now
names the step and the remedy when an ask contains a distinctive
declared value (reuse::distinctive — 'on' in prose is not evidence),
and the recipe prompt says the rule out loud. keep's own paste gate
stays as the layer behind it, guarding paths intake cannot see — the
driver test now pins exactly that arrangement with a run-script paste.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@sanil-23, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 49 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

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.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Recipe intake now rejects ask prompts that paste distinctive declared input values. It reports offending steps before graph construction, preserves short-value handling, and updates workflow coverage.

Changes

Recipe intake validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Paste detection and lowering validation
crates/adaptive/src/intake/recipe.rs, crates/adaptive/src/reuse.rs, crates/adaptive/src/intake/recipe_tests.rs
The authoring prompt forbids pasted declared values. lower rejects offending asks before graph construction. Tests cover rejection, remediation text, generic wording, and indistinct values.
Workflow intake gate coverage
crates/adaptive/tests/driver.rs
The workflow fixture moves hardcoded repository input into a run step and has a following ask step summarize its output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a8183

The change can reject otherwise valid recipes when a distinctive value from an undeclared input appears in ask prose, even though that value is later ignored. Narrowing the check to declared inputs and adding regression coverage is needed before merge.

Poem

I’m a rabbit who guards every prompt,
No pasted values shall cross the front.
Distinct clues now raise a clear reply,
Short little words safely pass by.
Run, then ask—the workflow hops high.

Comment thread crates/adaptive/src/intake/recipe.rs Outdated
CodeRabbit on tinyhumansai#61: pasted_values swept every entry in inputs, but only
DECLARED values are attached to asks — an undeclared stray (which the
author gate trims after lowering anyway) whose value appeared in prose
could falsely refuse a reusable recipe. Iterate declared names, look
each up in inputs; regression test for the stray case.
