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.

In `@gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/models/runtime_deploy_config.go`:
- Around line 310-338: Update the identity-resolver branch in ValidateResolution
to validate non-composed canonical keys: require a non-composed canonical key to
equal routeKey and return a validation error when it does not. Keep the existing
composed-key ownership and vhost checks unchanged.
In `@gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/cmd/policy-engine/main.go`:
- Line 231: Update the policy-engine server setup around
kernel.NewExternalProcessorServer and its underlying grpc.NewServer to load and
validate explicit maximum receive size, maximum send size, and maximum
concurrent streams configuration values. Ensure both message limits exceed the
configured request/response body decompression ceilings by the required protocol
overhead, then pass all three values as grpc.MaxRecvMsgSize,
grpc.MaxSendMsgSize, and grpc.MaxConcurrentStreams options when creating the
server.
In `@gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/resolver/routekey.go`:
- Around line 41-47: Update the Identify method comment on RouteKeyResolver to
remove the unconditional “still correct” claim and state that the returned route
key is correct only when CanonicalChainKey equals RouteKey; note that composed
operation routes can have a different canonical key.
In `@gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/xdsclient/handler.go`:
- Around line 524-548: Update getInt64FromMap to reject positive float64 values
that are fractional or outside the int64 range before conversion, while
preserving zero for invalid values. Add coverage in route_resolution_test.go for
0.5, 4096.5, and float64(1<<63), verifying each is treated as not configured.

Problem
Policy chains are keyed by the Envoy route name, and the policy engine hardcodes policyChainKey = routeKey. That works only when HTTP method + path uniquely identify an operation. It breaks for multiplexed transports, where many logical operations share one route — an A2A JSON-RPC call carries its operation in$.method, MCP in $ .params.name, GraphQL in the document body. Today each such kind would re-implement request reading, chain selection and error rendering, and no two would agree.
This PR adds the seam so a new kind contributes only its request-reading step and its operation table.
###Design
A resolver identifies the operation; it never builds a key. The engine composes the key from the operation with a construction the controller also uses when it emits chains (common/chainkey), so two transports of one logical operation select the same chain because the composition is a pure function of the operation, not because one route was pointed at another's key
This is a prerequisite for #2844
