Summary

runGitWithRetry had an unreachable return nil at the end of the function. The loop body always returned (success, or a wrapped error on the final attempt / non-transient error), so the trailing return could never execute. Worse, if every retry attempt failed with a transient error, the function silently reported success instead of a failure.

Changes

internal/cmd/git.go

  • Track the last error with lastErr.
  • break out of the loop on the terminal attempt or a non-transient error, instead of returning inside the loop.
  • The function now ends by returning a wrapped error built from lastErr, which is the genuine path when all retries are exhausted by transient errors. git <op> failed: <err> is preserved.

Test plan

  • go build ./... clean
  • go vet ./internal/cmd/ clean
  • go test ./internal/cmd/ pass

The loop in runGitWithRetry always returned from inside its body (success
path, or the final-iteration error path), so the trailing `return nil`
was dead code. When retries were exhausted on only transient errors, the
function incorrectly reported success.

Break out of the loop on a terminal/non-transient error instead, and have
the function end by returning a wrapped error that reflects the last
failure. The terminal return is now the actual path taken when all retry
attempts are consumed by transient errors.

Warning

Review limit reached

@euxaristia, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 41 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
