How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the 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.

Pull request overview
This PR hardens .html4ignore parsing in html4tree by preventing crashes when Java’s PathMatcher rejects malformed glob patterns, aligning behavior with a “fail safely” posture for user-supplied ignore rules.
Changes:
- Broadened the
.html4ignoreglob parsing exception handling to catchIllegalArgumentExceptionfromFileSystems.getDefault().getPathMatcher(...). - Added regression tests around malformed glob patterns in
.html4ignore. - Documented the learning/prevention note in
.jules/sentinel.mdfor this DoS class.

| src/main/kotlin/html4tree/main.kt | Catch IllegalArgumentException during glob PathMatcher creation to avoid crashes on malformed patterns. |
| src/test/kotlin/html4tree/GlobExceptionTest.kt | Adds a test for malformed glob patterns (currently overlaps existing coverage). |
| src/test/kotlin/html4tree/GlobIllegalArgumentExceptionTest.kt | Adds another malformed-pattern test (currently overlaps existing coverage and has verbose/misleading commentary). |

| // A pattern like "a[b" will throw PatternSyntaxException | ||

| // But how do we test catching exactly IllegalArgumentException that is NOT PatternSyntaxException? | ||

| **Vulnerability:** `.html4ignore` 파일 파싱 시 잘못된 glob 패턴이 입력되면 `java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException`뿐만 아니라 `IllegalArgumentException`이 발생할 수 있어 애플리케이션 크래시(DoS)가 발생할 수 있습니다. | ||
| **Learning:** `FileSystems.getDefault().getPathMatcher()`는 플랫폼 및 패턴에 따라 다양한 하위 예외를 던질 수 있으므로, 구체적인 예외 하나만 잡으면 처리되지 않은 예외로 인해 런타임 크래시가 발생할 위험이 있습니다. | ||
| **Prevention:** 사용자 입력을 처리하는 파일 매처 등에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 예외 상황을 방어하기 위해 상위 예외인 `IllegalArgumentException`을 포괄적으로 잡아(Catch) 애플리케이션이 안전하게 동작(Fail Securely)하도록 해야 합니다. |

Closing for the same unsupported exception claim as #225. The application constructs the trusted Primary contract: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/FileSystem.html#getPathMatcher(java.lang.String) A replacement requires a real provider/platform reproducer or injected provider contract, a narrow documented exception policy, RED evidence, authoritative APA 7 doctoring, changelog, complete coverage, and fresh current-head checks/review. No evidence from this head or #225 is reused. |
Understood. Acknowledging that this work is now obsolete and stopping work on this task. |
Addressed an unhandled
