Integration with Ralph
For V-* verification stories, CodeRabbit runs FIRST as a fast pre-check:
cr review --prompt-only --type committed- Quick scan- If issues found → Fix before Claude verification
- If clean → Proceed to full Claude verification
This reduces Claude API costs and catches obvious issues fast.
