Code review is half the job. The other half is the running product, on a real URL, doing what a customer would do. That half is where the release bugs live.
Feature by feature, as honestly as we can state it. Where CodeRabbit does something well, it says so.

Not your tests, build, or install. We never install your dependencies or run your package scripts. The linter does load your repo’s lint config, so it runs in a separate, secret-starved service. With our GitHub App, that service gets a short-lived token scoped to the one repo and read-only. The GitHub App key and other tenants’ data never enter it.
The linter, which loads your repo’s config, runs in a separate service that holds none of the platform’s keys.
With our GitHub App, clones use a short-lived token scoped to the one repo, read-only. Never the App key.
We never install your dependencies or run your tests, build, or package scripts. No postinstall.
Every model call is restricted, in code, to zero-retention endpoints that do not train on what we send.
A tool that only reads the diff can only find what the diff shows.
Code review checks the diff. ShipGuarde also checks the running product, so a release does not ship on the hope that nothing broke.
