Generate + it without modifying the repository: ```bash - coderabbit config + coderabbit config --agent --generate ``` + The CLI returns a validated proposal in `after` and its `baseHash`; without a + profile argument it proposes Balanced for a new file or keeps an existing file + unchanged. If validation fails, report `Needs action` and offer the `$config` + skill for a focused repair instead of claiming success. Write the exact + successful proposal to a temporary file outside the repository. Preview with + `coderabbit config apply --agent --dry-run --base ` (`none` for a new file), + show the exact diff, and obtain one explicit approval before the same command + with `--yes` instead of `--dry-run`. If unchanged, no approval or save is needed. + Re-inspect with `coderabbit config --agent` to verify the resulting hash. On a + stale base, re-inspect and re-preview before renewed approval. Report any + recovery path and remove only the temporary proposal. Do not drive a terminal + wizard or create a fallback writer. + - For Jira or Linear, MCP, related repositories, or report delivery, invoke `$connect` when available. Otherwise create an admin handoff; do not claim the connection is complete.
