What

Adds .coderabbit.yaml at the repo root so CodeRabbit auto-reviews pull requests whose base branch is dev:

reviews:
  auto_review:
    base_branches:
      - "^dev$"

• Every other setting stays at CodeRabbit's defaults, which is what the repo runs on today, so nothing else changes.
• main is the default branch, so its pull requests are still reviewed.
• The entries are regexes, so the pattern is anchored: develop or feat/dev-tools do not match.

Why

With no config file, CodeRabbit uses its defaults, which auto-review only pull requests against the default branch. Pull requests merge through dev (CONTRIBUTING.md), so each one was skipped with "Auto reviews are disabled on base/target branches other than the default branch", as on #2090.

CodeRabbit reads this file from the pull request's head branch, not from dev. Once this merges, branches cut from dev are reviewed automatically. Branches cut earlier stay skipped until they merge dev in; on those, comment @coderabbitai review for a single review.

How to test

• This pull request carries the file, so CodeRabbit should review it on its own instead of posting "Review skipped".

• The file validates against CodeRabbit's published schema:

  uv run --no-project --with pyyaml --with jsonschema python -c "import json, urllib.request, yaml, jsonschema; schema = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen('https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json')); jsonschema.validate(yaml.safe_load(open('.coderabbit.yaml')), schema); print('valid')"

• Draft pull requests stay skipped by default, so test with one that is ready for review.

High-level PR Summary

This PR adds a CodeRabbit configuration file to enable automatic code reviews for pull requests targeting the dev branch. Previously, only PRs against the default main branch were auto-reviewed, but since the project's workflow merges changes through dev first (as documented in CONTRIBUTING.md), this meant most PRs were being skipped. The configuration uses a regex pattern to specifically match the dev branch while preserving all other CodeRabbit default settings.
