Under the Hood Improvements

Re-architected Repository Context Engine
We've completely rebuilt our core engine for analyzing and understanding your codebases. This new architecture is faster, more reliable, and is the foundation that allows us to support multiple platforms like GitLab. You'll notice faster initial repository setup and more accurate context for your reviews.

Enhanced Performance and Stability
We've made significant upgrades to our backend infrastructure, resulting in a faster, more stable, and more scalable platform. These changes ensure a smoother experience and lay the groundwork for exciting new features to come.
