Review Wait-Time Estimates & More Resilient Reviews
Optibot now tells you how long a review will take, fails over more reliably when a reviewer hits a rate limit, and detects duplicate code faster on large repos.
This release focuses on making reviews more predictable and more resilient: clearer wait-time estimates, tougher failover when a reviewer is rate-limited, and faster duplicate-code detection on large repos.
Improvements
Know how long a review will take
Optibot's initial comment on a new pull request now gives you a real estimate, like "usually done in about 2 minutes," based on recent review times, instead of a generic "reviewing..." message. Re-review requests get the same treatment, so you know what to expect before you go get coffee.
More resilient under provider hiccups
Optibot now automatically fails over to a backup reviewer not just during outages, but also when a reviewer is rate-limited, so your reviews keep completing smoothly instead of stalling. We also fixed an edge case where an interrupted backup review could occasionally post a placeholder comment instead of retrying cleanly.
Faster duplicate-code detection on large repos
We optimized how duplicate-code detection searches your codebase, so pre-checks run faster and more reliably as your codebase grows.
