Release notes

Code review you can trust

0.2.0-beta.173 · October 23, 2026

AI review now investigates your change like a reviewer would — reading the surrounding code, the callers and the tests — and checks every finding before showing it.

New

  • Reviews run as read-only review agents, one per group of files, so large pull requests are no longer cut off at a fixed size.
  • A second pass tries to disprove each finding. Disproved findings are removed; the rest are marked Verified or Unconfirmed.
  • Every finding shows the evidence behind it, and the review says which files it read and which it skipped (lockfiles, generated files) and why.
  • A pull request that is not checked out is reviewed against its own code in a temporary checkout, leaving yours untouched.

Fixed

  • VORTEX_REVIEW_DIFF_CHAR_CAP, VORTEX_REVIEW_MAX_COMMENTS and VORTEX_REVIEW_PROVIDER now take effect.
  • vortex review compares against origin/HEAD like the app, and --fail-on counts only the findings at or above the threshold.

Changed

  • Reviews take longer and cost more than before. Set VORTEX_REVIEW_MODE=one_shot for the previous single-pass review.
