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 page builder now returns structured drop outcomes, maps refusal reasons to messages, and displays refusal feedback during drag operations. Unit and end-to-end tests cover refused, accepted, unchanged, and unresolved drops. ChangesDrag-and-drop refusal feedback
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds live refusal feedback during block dragging, but the current implementation may fail to render the promised refusal icon and its acceptance drag path may skip target events, making the feedback behavior unreliable. These bounded issues should be corrected before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The drop rules and the sentence they produce are each unit-covered; nothing covered the path between them, and every intermediate can break with both suites green. The symptom is an editor that shows nothing, which is the state this feature replaced. Names the drag overlay so its contents can be read: everything inside it is an anonymous inline-styled div otherwise.
The reader threw unconditionally and the case expected that throw, so the capability arriving changed nothing: its own comment predicted the line would go red first, and it could not, because the refusal it was waiting for was never reachable by the drag it performed. A block restricting its own parent reaches a refusal with no allowlisted slot, so the driver now supplies a refused source and a permitted one. Both are needed: either drag alone is satisfied by a canvas that treats every target the same way.

- Around line 720-724: Update the comment near the restricted drag source to
remove historical references and retain only the rationale that a block
restricting its own parent reaches a refusal without an allowedBlocks slot,
explaining why the driver’s restricted source is used.
- Around line 121-129: Update dragSourceOntoZone to use the same dragPointerTo
transport path as dragFromPanel instead of calling moveBy directly, passing the
source and canvas-center target as required. Preserve the existing drag start

U+20E0 is an enclosing MARK with no form of its own, so standing alone it drew a dotted-circle placeholder or nothing depending on the font. A component renders the same everywhere and contributes no text to the live region beside it, which lets the suite assert the sentence exactly. The invalid-target reader waited on nothing: the active zone is a dnd-kit attribute write inside the canvas frame and the refusal is a React commit in the host document, so an immediate count reported a refusal that had not rendered as no refusal at all. Both new drags now go through the shared stepped transport, which measures from where the pointer actually is rather than from the source point — the overshoot that helper exists to prevent.

The defect
An author drags a block into a slot that refuses it. No zone appears, they release into dead space, and the editor says nothing.
canDropknew exactly which rule stopped them and the answer was discarded two lines later.Measured on
main:dropPlan.ts:57and:73calledcanDrop(...).okand threw the typed reason away.Why the reason had nowhere to go
The discard was the symptom.
planDropreturnednullfor three different questions at six sites — a refused drop, a drop that changes nothing, and a target it could not identify. A caller holding thatnullcannot tell a rejection from a no-op, so there is no place to put a reason and nothing for the canvas to draw. Threading a reason alongside thenullwould have rebuilt the same conflation one layer up.So refusal is now representable:
Four outcomes because there are four questions.
unchangedis a legal drop landing where the block already is; drawing a refusal there would tell the author a legal move is forbidden.unresolvedis a zone naming a node the document does not hold — no place to judge, so naming a rule would name a cause that does not exist.The same move went one layer down.
DropCheckwas{ ok: boolean; reason?: ... }, so{ ok: false }with nothing to say about itself type-checked. It is two members now, and a refusal carries its reason by construction.into-itselfis a refusalcanDropcannot give: the block type is a perfectly legal child of that container, and what refuses it is this node being an ancestor of this target.What the author sees
Feedback lands during the drag, not on release — a refusal discovered after letting go is the failure being removed.
onDragOverplans the outcome and the overlay chip turns destructive, shows a ⃠, and names the rule:Colour and words: colour alone excludes anyone who cannot distinguish the two, and no colour can say which rule applied. The sentence is a polite live region, since it changes on every target the pointer crosses. Both tokens are defined for light and dark.
Sentences come from an exhaustive
Record<DropRefusal, string>, so a rule added tocanDropfails to compile rather than falling through to something generic.Evidence
The separating property here is the reason reaching the author — "the tree does not change" is satisfied by a canvas that shows nothing and by one that explains itself. Every non-action test asserts a distinct kind, and each was seen to fail for its intended reason:
unchanged→unresolvedexpected { kind: 'unresolved' } to deeply equal { kind: 'unchanged' }unchangedexpected { kind: 'unchanged' } to deeply equal { kind: 'refused', …(1) }expected 5 to be 6{ ok: false }with no reasonTS2322: Type '{ ok: false; }' is not assignable to type 'DropCheck'Every one of those old assertions was
toBeNull(), and three of them would still pass on an implementation that had confused the case with the other two.check-types,lint, and 802 tests across 84 files green on this base.Scope
Plumbing and the overlay only. The refusal STATE on the zone element is #829's file and lands after it merges. Unblocks acceptance point B-7, which had no refusable target until
allowedBlocksshipped in #795.Summary by CodeRabbit
