Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 50 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

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.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

Added a reusable EmptyState component with typed content, icons, hints, and actions. Updated dashboard admin, agent-builder, and provider pages to use contextual empty states. Added shared styles and structured stale-banner content.

Changes

Dashboard empty-state UI

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared empty-state component and styling dashboard/src/components/EmptyState.tsx, dashboard/src/styles/index.css	Added typed empty-state rendering with icon fallbacks, optional hints, link or button actions, and styles for empty states and stale banners.
Admin empty-state integrations dashboard/src/pages/admin/*	Admin views now show bootstrap, graph, issuer, and tenant guidance when their data is empty.
Agent-builder and provider integrations dashboard/src/pages/agent-builder/*, dashboard/src/pages/provider/*	Agent-builder and provider views now show contextual empty states with documentation links and hints. The staleness banner now has structured content and a secure external link. Provider component tests now expect the updated empty-state text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a98e6

Several new onboarding actions can leave users at a dead end: the shared empty-state CTA contract allows unclear or non-functional actions, and the admin bootstrap actions point to documentation rather than performing the promised setup. These flows should be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner before merging.

In `@dashboard/src/components/EmptyState.tsx`:
- Around line 7-11: Update the action type in EmptyStateProps to a discriminated
union requiring exactly one target: either href for link actions or onClick for
button actions, while allowing the shared label. Reject label-only actions and
combinations containing both href and onClick, and preserve the corresponding
rendering behavior in EmptyState.

In `@dashboard/src/pages/admin/BootstrapEditor.tsx`:
- Around line 19-21: Update the shared bootstrap CTA in
dashboard/src/pages/admin/BootstrapEditor.tsx lines 19-21 and
dashboard/src/pages/admin/GraphHealth.tsx lines 13-15 to use the same verified
bootstrap runbook or seed endpoint; if the target remains documentation, replace
the execution-oriented label with an accurate documentation label in both
locations.
