CodeRabbit pauses automatic reviews after 5 reviewed commits on a busy branch. A paused review reports its check as skipped, which passes the required CodeRabbit check, so the PR merges unreviewed. That's what happened to kleinbem/kleinbem#21. auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits: 0 turns the pause off.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated automated review settings so reviews no longer automatically pause after a specified number of reviewed commits. This may help reviews continue on busy branches without pausing based on that commit count.
