Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • In-app notifications now support content up to 4,096 characters.
    • Longer notification messages are automatically shortened with an ellipsis while preserving the beginning of the message.
    • Notifications default to the “alert” level when no level is specified.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Notification submissions now consistently use validated request data, ensuring length limits and formatting rules are applied correctly.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for over-limit messages and messages exactly at the 4,096-character limit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates notification validation and endpoint handling. It also adds mirrored guidance for Git workflows, install scripts, PR reviews, Dockerfile generation, skill indexes, and mirror validation.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Notification validation and endpoint flow
server/api_server/openapi/schemas.py, server/api_server/api_server_start.py, test/api_endpoints/test_messaging_in_app_endpoints.py
Notification content now supports up to 4096 characters. Longer strings are truncated with .... The default level is alert, the endpoint uses validated fields, and tests cover overlong and exact-limit content.

Repository skill guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Git workflow guidance
.claude/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md, .github/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md
Mirrored skills document branch approval, direct pushes to next_release, push confirmation, and branch checks before shared-state-changing Git commands.
Install-script guidance
.claude/skills/install-scripts/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/install-scripts/SKILL.md, .github/skills/install-scripts/SKILL.md
Mirrored skills document uninstall scope, script-specific exit behavior, legacy /back paths, and build-time file availability.
PR review guidance
.claude/skills/pr-analysis/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/pr-analysis/SKILL.md, .github/skills/pr-analysis/SKILL.md
Mirrored skills state the skill-update rule and prefer explicit conditional logic over opaque compact expressions.
Skill indexes and mirror validation
.gemini/skills/skills-index/SKILL.md, .github/skills/skills-overview/SKILL.md, .github/skills/devcontainer-configs/SKILL.md, scripts/check_skill_pairs.py
Indexes document the added guidance and Dockerfile generation rules. The mirror checker registers the install-scripts skill group.

The endpoint behavior is consistent, but the new tests may provide unreliable truncation coverage. This is a bounded test-quality issue suitable for follow-up.

- Line 16: Update the git workflow guidance to require explicit user
confirmation immediately before any git push, while preserving next_release as
the default commit and push target. Apply the same change in

In @.gemini/skills/pr-analysis/SKILL.md:
- Around line 8-18: Update the skill document content around the standing rule
and code-style guidance to remove historical provenance, including maintainer
quotes, PR references, and review/discovery narrative. Preserve the durable
skill-hygiene guidance and express the build-time gotchas directly as current
rules; apply this cleanup consistently across all five identified sites.

In `@server/api_server/api_server_start.py`:
- Around line 1912-1916: Update the default value for the level field in
CreateNotificationRequest from "info" to "alert", while keeping
api_write_notification using the validated payload and preserving validation
that rejects missing content.

In `@test/api_endpoints/test_messaging_in_app_endpoints.py`:
- Around line 129-146: Update the notification lookups in the multi-edit and
exact-limit tests to use a unique per-test marker included in the notification
content, then search for that marker rather than the generic “[Multi edit]” or
“xxx” prefixes. Preserve the existing length, suffix, and exact-content
assertions while ensuring each lookup selects the notification created by the
current test.

Use a unique marker for each stored-notification lookup.

The fixture preserves existing notifications during each test. The unread endpoint returns them in file order, and write_notification appends the new notification. Therefore, line 129 can select an older "[Multi edit]" notification. Line 146 has the same issue with an older notification starting with "xxx".

Use a per-test unique marker in each notification and search for that marker.
