New Code Review Engine
Now you can choose between the current review flow or use the new code review engine, which is much more focused.
This new engine focuses the review on five critical areas:
- Bug: actual bugs or defects in the code
- Security: vulnerabilities that compromise the project
- Performance: efficiency and performance issues
- Breaking Changes: changes that break compatibility
- Cross-file: inconsistencies detected across multiple files in the PR
Everything outside of these categories, such as style, conventions, or internal standards, is now handled by Kody Rules, which can be customized by your team.
Suggestions now come with severity assigned, respect the filters configured by the customer, and keep the safeguard active. The result is a review that is more accurate, clean, and focused on what really needs to be fixed.
Kody Rules Library in Packs
We released the new Kody Rules library, now organized into thematic packs. This makes it easier to explore, choose, and import only the rules that make sense for your team.
In addition, the library has been expanded with several new predefined rule sets, ready for immediate use.
PR Review Tracking
We added a new dedicated screen to track PRs being reviewed by Kody.
On this screen you can view all ongoing PRs, with details such as branch, author, execution status, and final review result. This makes it easier for teams to monitor what has already been analyzed, what is in progress, and ensure visibility of the review flow in real time.
Automatic association by email domain
Now new users can be automatically associated with an existing workspace based on their email domain.
- During workspace setup, it is possible to configure Allowed Domains and enable the auto-join option.
- If the domain is not public (like gmail.com), it will already be suggested automatically.
- At signup, users with emails from these domains can choose between joining the existing workspace or creating a new one.
This change makes team onboarding easier, reduces workspace duplication, and simplifies the flow for new developers.
Bug Fixes
- Approval status on critical PRs: when a PR had suggestions with critical severity and received new commits without new suggestions, the status incorrectly changed to approve. Now the PR remains blocked until the critical issues are resolved.
- IDE rules sync in mono-repos: rule files in subfolders (e.g.,
applications/APP/.cursor/rules/) were not being detected correctly when there were configurations at multiple levels. Sync now works together with folders in mono-repos.
