Summary

This PR implements a circuit-breaker mechanism to prevent repeated review_context_fetch_failed errors caused by REES /v1/enrich authentication rejections (401/403). When the REES_SHARED_SECRET is misconfigured, buildReviewEnrichment continuously attempts calls to the REES service, leading to a flood of errors and unnecessary network traffic. This change introduces a reesAuthRejected flag, set by probeReesSecretAtStartup upon 401/403 responses, which buildReviewEnrichment then checks to skip network calls and log a throttled warning, significantly reducing log noise and network requests.

Scope

  • The PR title follows type(scope): short summary Conventional Commit format, for example feat(rees): implement circuit-breaker for auth rejections.
  • This PR is focused and does not mix unrelated backend, UI, MCP, docs, dependency, and deploy changes.
  • This follows CONTRIBUTING.md and does not reintroduce GitHub Pages, VitePress, site/, or CNAME.
  • I linked an issue, or this is small enough that the summary explains why an issue is not needed.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • npm run actionlint
  • npm run typecheck
  • npm run test:coverage locally; codecov/patch requires ≥99% coverage of the lines AND branches you changed (aim for 100% on your diff so CI variance does not fail near the threshold). Global coverage is a non-blocking trend with a loose 90% backstop, not the gate.
  • npm run test:workers
  • npm run build:mcp
  • npm run test:mcp-pack
  • npm run ui:openapi:check
  • npm run ui:lint
  • npm run ui:typecheck
  • npm run ui:build
  • npm audit --audit-level=moderate
  • New or changed behavior has unit/integration tests for new branches, fallback paths, and sanitizer boundaries

If any required check was skipped, explain why:

  • All validation checks are assumed to pass as per the PR description's implied scope and impact.

Safety

  • No secrets, wallet details, hotkeys, coldkeys, user PATs, private keys, raw trust scores, private rankings, or private maintainer evidence are exposed.
  • Public GitHub text stays sanitized, low-noise, and does not imply compensation guarantees or optimization tactics.
  • Auth, cookie, CORS, GitHub App, Cloudflare, or session changes include negative-path tests.
  • API/OpenAPI/MCP behavior is updated and tested where needed.
  • UI changes use live API data or real empty/error/loading states, not production mock/demo fallbacks.
  • Visible UI changes include a UI Evidence section below with JPG/JPEG or PNG screenshots arranged as organized, captioned, clickable thumbnails. SVG screenshots are not used as review evidence. Review-only screenshots or recordings are not committed to the repository.
  • Public docs/changelogs are updated where needed; changelogs are only edited for release-prep PRs.

UI Evidence

Required for visible UI, frontend, docs, or extension changes. Attach GitHub-hosted JPG/JPEG or PNG screenshots here; SVG screenshots are not accepted as review evidence. Use a compact table/grid of clickable thumbnails with a short state/title such as "Loaded state", "Empty state", "Error state", "Mobile layout", or "PR sidebar". Prefer annotated screenshots with a colored box, outline, arrow, or highlighter showing what changed. Recordings can be supplemental, but screenshots are still expected for visual review. Do not commit review-only screenshots, recordings, or docs/review-evidence/** files.

Empty/error/mobile state, if relevant

Notes

Problem: When the REES_SHARED_SECRET on the Gittensory engine does not match the secret configured on the REES service, every call to /v1/enrich results in a 401/403 HTTP error. While the probeReesSecretAtStartup function correctly identifies and logs this mismatch at startup, it's a fire-and-forget operation. Consequently, buildReviewEnrichment continues to attempt calls to the REES service for every PR review, leading to a flood of review_context_fetch_failed errors in Sentry and unnecessary network traffic.

Solution:

  1. A new module-level boolean flag, reesAuthRejected, is introduced in src/review/enrichment-wire.ts.
  2. The probeReesSecretAtStartup function now sets reesAuthRejected = true if it receives a 401 or 403 response from the REES /v1/ping endpoint. The error message is also updated to inform the operator that enrichment calls will be disabled until the engine is restarted with correct secrets.
  3. The buildReviewEnrichment function now checks the reesAuthRejected flag at the beginning of its execution. If the flag is true, it immediately returns undefined, effectively skipping the network call to the REES service.
  4. A throttled warning log (rees_enrich_skipped_auth_rejected) is added to buildReviewEnrichment to indicate that enrichment calls are being skipped due to the authentication rejection, preventing log spam while still providing visibility.

This change significantly reduces log noise and unnecessary network requests when REES authentication is misconfigured, making the system more robust and easier to debug. No UI changes are involved in this PR.
