Next review available in: 38 minutes You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository. 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.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe README presents the project as the Credo Controller REST API. It documents local, Docker, PostgreSQL, environment-based, and direct-binary setup. It also updates configuration examples, repository references, package imports, terminology, and grammar. ChangesCredo Controller documentation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The updated README still includes setup paths that may fail for new users, including missing database setup, an incompatible custom-server example, a missing initialization step, and outdated platform and PostgreSQL requirements. Merge should wait until these instructions are corrected. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🧹 Nitpick comments (7)
README.md (7)
47-49: Prefer platform-agnostic wording or add Windows/macOS notesStating that Ubuntu 20.04 + is the “preferred OS” might discourage (or confuse) Windows/macOS developers although Docker makes the instructions portable. Either soften the wording (“tested on …”) or add a short note that the Docker flow works cross-platform.
50-55: Pin to a tag or commit to ensure reproducible clones
maincan move unexpectedly. Consider cloning a specific tag/commit in the docs to guarantee readers get the version that matches the README.-git clone https://github.com/credebl/credo-controller.git -cd credo-controller +git clone --branch vX.Y.Z https://github.com/credebl/credo-controller.git +cd credo-controller
60-63: Clarify sample path & ensure path works when README is rendered on npmjsThe sample file lives in
samples/cliConfig.json, not/samples/…(the leading slash suggests an absolute path).
Also note that npm renders README at package root, where an absolute path won’t link correctly.
66-89: Mask secrets or use placeholders in public docsReal-looking secrets (
"my-secret-key","admin-password") invite copy-paste into production. Replace with obvious placeholders (e.g."<MY_SECRET_KEY>") or add a bold warning above the block.
64-64: Remove trailing colon in heading to satisfy Markdown-lintHeading
#### Example \my-config.json`:` triggers MD026.
Drop the trailing colon:-#### Example `my-config.json`: +#### Example `my-config.json`
91-94: Fix blank line inside blockquote (MD028)There’s an empty line between two quote blocks which markdown-lint flags. Collapse the quotes into one or remove the blank line.
-> Ensure `my-config.json` is placed at the root of the project directory. - -> Do not commit `my-config.json` to version control. It may contain sensitive credentials. +> Ensure `my-config.json` is placed at the root of the project directory. +> **Important:** Do not commit `my-config.json` to version control. It may contain sensitive credentials.

We can also, maybe look at better formatting the readme, especially in having appropriate heading sizes.
Also, the image for AFJ can most probably be update to be taken from the newest credo-ts image, along with changing all the reference for AFJ to credo or credo-controller as per appropriate

@GHkrishna I have looked at the DCOs and will correct them, please review my replies to your queries and confirm if i should proceed with the changes. |

64-71: Relax the hard-pinned Node.js versionLocking the docs to the patch release 18.19.0 is unnecessarily strict. It will quickly become stale, and users on 18.[20-x] (or the current 20 LTS) will assume the project is incompatible.
Recommend wording along the lines of “Node.js 18 LTS (tested on 18.19)” and add a note that 20 LTS is expected to work but is not part of CI yet.
40-43: Address markdown-lint warnings

- switch to explicit port mapping (

configuration to list both the AFJ_REST_WALLET_* environment variables and their
CONNECT_TIMEOUT, MAX_CONNECTIONS, and IDLE_TIMEOUT fallbacks. Apply the same
wording and variable coverage to .env.sample.

Ubuntu release cycle Ubuntu 20.04 standard security maintenance end date current support status
💡 Result:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) reached the end of its standard security maintenance period on May 31, 2025 [1][2][3]. Current Support Status: As of today, August 13, 2026, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is no longer receiving standard security updates [4][3]. Systems running this version are now reliant on Extended Security Maintenance (ESM), which is available through an Ubuntu Pro subscription [2][5][6]. With an active Ubuntu Pro subscription, security maintenance for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is extended until April 2030, with an additional option for Legacy Support to extend coverage until April 2032 [2][7][6]. Ubuntu Release Cycle Overview: Ubuntu follows a strict time-based release cycle, with new versions published every six months [8]. Long Term Support (LTS) releases occur every two years (in April of even-numbered years) and are the only releases that receive extended maintenance commitments [8]. - Standard Support: LTS releases receive five years of standard security maintenance for packages in the 'main' repository [2][8]. - Extended Security Maintenance (ESM): Following the end of standard support, ESM provides continued security updates through Ubuntu Pro for both 'main' and 'universe' repository packages [7][5][8].

samples/cliConfig.json selects PostgreSQL at localhost:5432. Method 2 does not start PostgreSQL, so the command cannot run from a clean checkout without an existing database. Add the PostgreSQL prerequisite from Method 3 or provide a self-contained configuration.
