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.

The command passes what it is given to WP_Query, so a good deal works that nothing mentions. This documents the arguments that filter on what the command displays, the way #642 did for `wp site list`. Three of the fields it displays are named after the wp_posts column rather than the WP_Query argument that filters on it, and passing the column name reached WP_Query as an argument it does not know: it was dropped, and every post came back - a filter that reads as if it works and quietly does not. $ wp post list --post_title='Hello world!' --format=count 2 wp-cli resolves parameter aliases before a command runs, so declaring them in the synopsis is enough to make the column spellings work: - --title, with --post_title as an alias - --name, with --post_name as an alias - --author, with --post_author as an alias - --p, with --ID as an alias Everything else here already filtered and is only being written down. Each one was checked against WP_Query rather than assumed: 'post__in', 'post_name__in' and 'author__in' are left out because they are only read as arrays, so a comma-separated value would quietly match on the first entry alone, and making them usable is more than documentation. '--name' keeps WP_Query's behaviour of making the query a single-post one, which returns a draft only to a user who can edit it. Running as no user, WP-CLI cannot, so the note says to filter drafts another way rather than rerouting the argument to mean something WP_Query does not.

wp post list by the columns it displayswp post list accepts
The note on `--name` said to filter drafts some other way, which was a
detour. WP_Query hands a draft from a single-post query to a user who can
edit it, and the global `--user` argument is how WP-CLI becomes one.
Checked rather than assumed, because the earlier advice happened to work for
the wrong reason:
wp post list --name=beta --field=ID -> empty
wp post list --name=beta --post_status=any --field=ID -> empty
wp post list --name=beta --user=1 --field=ID -> found
'--post_status=draft' also reaches it, but only because naming the post's own
status sidesteps the check rather than satisfying it, and '--post_status=any'
does not. '--user' is the answer to what the note is actually about.

in src/Post_Command.php to state that any excludes types or statuses with
exclude_from_search=true, and document that wp post list defaults post_status to
any; then regenerate README.md so its corresponding option documentation matches

'any' is not "everything". WP_Query reads it as everything registered without
'exclude_from_search', for post types and post statuses alike, and this
command defaults post_status to it.
The practical consequence had gone unsaid: 'trash' and 'auto-draft' carry
that flag, so a trashed post is absent from `wp post list` until its status
is named. Checked rather than taken on faith:
post_type=any, exclude_from_search=false type -> included
post_type=any, exclude_from_search=true type -> excluded
post_status=any, draft -> included
post_status=any, trashed -> excluded
post_status=trash, trashed -> included

Follows #642, which did this for
wp site list.wp post listpasses what it is given toWP_Query, so a good deal works that nothing mentions. This writes down the arguments that filter on what the command displays. It is documentation plus four aliases — no query arguments are rewritten.The three that quietly did nothing
Three displayed fields are named after the
wp_postscolumn rather than theWP_Queryargument that filters on it. Passing the column name reachedWP_Queryas an argument it does not know, so it was dropped and every post came back:wp-cli resolves parameter aliases before a command runs, so declaring them in the synopsis is enough — there is no mapping code:
--title--post_title--name--post_name--author--post_author--p--IDEverything else was already working
The remaining arguments are only being written down:
--author_name,--post_type,--post_status,--post_parent,--post_mime_type,--menu_order,--comment_status,--ping_status,--comment_count,--s,--year,--monthnum,--day,--m,--w.Each was checked against
WP_Queryrather than assumed — building two posts differing in every attribute and confirming the argument actually narrowed the result set. That is what established thatpost_title,post_nameandpost_authorwere no-ops whilecomment_status,ping_statusand the rest were not.post__in,post_name__inandauthor__inare deliberately left undocumented. They filter, but only when handed an array; a comma-separated value from the command line would be read as its first entry alone and match on that silently. Making them usable means splitting the value, which is more than this PR is doing.--nameand draftsnamemakes the query a single-post one, andWP_Queryhands a draft from one of those only to a user who can edit it. WP-CLI is no user by default, so--namefinds nothing for drafts until the global--userargument makes it one:wp post list --name=beta --field=IDwp post list --name=beta --post_status=any --field=IDwp post list --name=beta --user=1 --field=ID--post_status=draftalso reaches it, but only because naming the post's own status sidesteps the check rather than satisfying it —--post_status=anydoes not. The docs point at--user, and a scenario covers both halves.Note that
--format=countand--format=idshide this entirely: they setfieldstoidsand take a different path throughWP_Query, so the obvious spot-check passes while--fieldreturns nothing.Testing
Two new scenarios in
features/post.feature: one covering each alias against its canonical name, one covering drafts by slug with and without--user. The first fails without the change —--post_title='Hello world!'returns2instead of1.features/post.feature(SQLite)mainREADME.mdis regenerated, not hand-edited.Refs wp-cli/wp-cli#5286
