ci: coderabbit - review each PR once, not on every push

Build/CI Pull Request

Linked issues

Closes #3517

Build/CI change

• What: sets reviews.auto_review.auto_incremental_review: false in .coderabbit.yml.
• Why: the key was unset, so it took its schema default of true ("Re-run the review on each push"). The plan allows 1 review an hour, and every push to any open PR used it up. Queued PRs got "Review limit reached" on every attempt.

Baseline & Target

• Before: between 13:52 and 15:32 UTC, reviews went to fix: validation - match references by name and detect all import forms (#3460) #3497 (twice), chore: ci - clear workflow shellcheck debt and fix consumption examples #3483 and docs: Complete Branch Naming Strategy — Constitution Principle V Alignment #3353, each triggered by a push. The queue's five requests for docs: specs - land CI remediation, changelog agent and agent consolidation specs #3500 were all refused.
• After: each new PR gets its automatic first review. Re-reviews happen only when requested, which the review queue does in merge order.

Rollback

• Plan: revert this PR, or delete the one key.

Notes

• Validated with check-jsonschema against https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json: the new config and develop's both pass. The key is at reviews.auto_review.auto_incremental_review, type boolean, default true.
• Secrets/permissions: none.
• /code-review and /security-review: no findings.

Changelog

Changed

• Faster Code Reviews — Limited automated reviews to one per pull request rather than one per update. (ci: CodeRabbit re-reviews every push and starves the review queue #3517)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Automated pull request reviews now run once when a pull request is opened. Additional reviews after updates can be requested manually. No end-user-facing product changes are included.
