This PR adds minimal Go-specific path instructions to .coderabbit.yaml.

The instructions guide CodeRabbit to review Go files following Effective Go
conventions, focusing on naming, error handling, and testing practices.

This improves automated review quality for Go-based repositories using this template.

Warning

Ignoring CodeRabbit configuration file changes. For security, only the configuration from the base branch is applied for open source repositories.

Walkthrough

The .coderabbit.yaml configuration file has been updated with simplified and normalized instructional strings across review settings, labeling rules, and language-specific guidelines. Comments are streamlined, verbose options consolidated, and path filters updated while preserving core review functionality.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
CodeRabbit Configuration
.coderabbit.yaml
Streamlined instructional text across issue labeling, planning, and reviews. Reorganized review profile settings with inlined toggles. Consolidated labeling instructions and removed MR/PR dual-form references. Updated path\_instructions for Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, Solidity, Python, HTML, CSS, and test files with concise language and consistency improvements. Simplified path filters while preserving major exclusions (node\_modules, android/ios, dist, expo paths).

18-132: 🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major

PR scope is broader than the stated objective; split unrelated config rewrites.

The objective is a minimal Go-path instruction addition, but this range changes core review behavior (labels/planning/profile/filters/global instructions). Please isolate the Go addition in this PR and move broad normalization changes to a separate PR for safer rollout and easier rollback.

sections (planning, reviews.profile, path_filters, labeling_instructions, tools,
and instructions) but should only add the minimal Go-path instruction; revert
all unrelated edits under the keys planning, reviews (including profile,
auto_review, pre_merge_checks, path_filters, tools, labeling_instructions), and

- Around line 121-132: The global rule under the instructions key that currently
reads "Discourage verbose comment styles such as NatSpec" should be scoped to
avoid applying to Solidity code; update the config to exclude Solidity-targeted
reviews by adding a per-language override or file-pattern exception (e.g., allow
NatSpec for files matching *.sol or language: solidity) so the instruction does
not suppress Solidity contract documentation—locate the instructions block and
the specific item "Discourage verbose comment styles such as NatSpec" and change
it to a conditional/overridden rule for non-Solidity contexts.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Global NatSpec discouragement conflicts with Solidity review quality.

Line 129 applies globally and can suppress useful contract documentation patterns in Solidity PRs. Scope this rule away from Solidity-targeted reviews.
