CHANGELOG.md (1)

92-92: LGTM!

The changelog entry accurately documents the addition of global review instructions and properly references issue #1373. The placement in the "Changed" section is appropriate since this modifies an existing configuration file.

.coderabbit.yaml (1)

22-35: Consider potential conflict with the assertive profile.

The new global instructions correctly implement the requirements from issue #1373 by limiting review scope to the PR/issue description. However, there may be a tension between these scope-limiting instructions and the existing profile: "assertive" setting (line 9), which is configured to yield "more feedback, that may be considered nitpicky."

The ABSOLUTE RULES state "Do NOT propose improvements, refactors, or enhancements to the developer beyond what the PR explicitly claims to address," which could conflict with the assertive profile's nature.

Please verify that CodeRabbit properly prioritizes these explicit global instructions over the assertive profile's default behavior. You may want to monitor the first few PRs after this change to ensure the scope-limiting instructions are being respected.
