@russellhaering I found the issue! The path_filters configuration has an incorrect structure. According to the schema, path_filters should be a simple array of strings, not an object with included_paths and excluded_paths keys.

The Problem

Your current configuration:

reviews:
  path_filters:
    included_paths:
      - "**/*"
    excluded_paths: []

This is causing the validation error: Expected array, received object at "reviews.path_filters"

The Solution

To review all files in the repository, simply use an empty array:

reviews:
  path_filters: []

Alternatively, if you want to explicitly include all files, you can use:

reviews:
  path_filters:
    - "**/*"

How path_filters Works

• Include patterns: Regular glob patterns like src/**, *.js
• Exclude patterns: Patterns starting with ! like !dist/**, !node_modules/**
• Empty array: Reviews all files (recommended for your use case)

Examples:

# Review only specific directories
path_filters:
  - "src/**"
  - "lib/**"

# Review everything except certain patterns
path_filters:
  - "**/*"
  - "!dist/**"
  - "!node_modules/**"

# Review everything (simplest)
path_filters: []

Since your goal is to "make CodeRabbit not ignore every change in this repo," I recommend using the empty array approach: path_filters: []

1-3: Consider using an empty array for clearer intent.

While the current configuration with "**/*" is valid and will include all files, using an empty array is the recommended approach for reviewing all files. This is simpler, more explicit about the intent, and aligns with CodeRabbit's best practices.

♻️ Recommended simplification

 reviews:
-  path_filters:
-    - "**/*"
+  path_filters: []

This achieves the same result (reviewing all files) with a clearer, more concise syntax. The empty array explicitly signals "no filters, review everything."
