Stop guessing why CodeRabbit posted that review comment

CodeRabbit is a tool trusted by thousands of developers to review pull requests (PRs) efficiently, providing structured feedback based on various contextual elements. Previously, CodeRabbit comments only highlighted issues without revealing the underlying context, but with recent updates, each comment now includes a "Source" line that identifies the context, such as coding guidelines or linked repositories, allowing users to better understand and adjust the feedback process. The updates introduce three new views within the repository settings: "Code guidelines," which lists applicable coding rules; "Auto-linked repositories," which identifies dependent repositories for comprehensive reviews; and a "Source line" on comments, detailing the basis of each comment. These features enable users to trace and modify the guidelines or repository links, ensuring that CodeRabbit's feedback aligns more closely with the team's workflow and reduces repetitive, irrelevant comments. By providing visibility into the context behind PR reviews, developers can now influence how CodeRabbit evaluates code, transforming the review process from a static evaluation into a dynamic, customizable tool.
