How It Works
The workflow is triggered by GitLab merge request events, initiating an automated multi-step review process. It first analyzes code changes using predefined quality metrics, checks compliance requirements, and performs risk assessments. Advanced code inspection nodes evaluate potential vulnerabilities, coding standards, and architectural consistency. Simultaneously, the workflow generates comprehensive review reports and sends notifications to relevant team members, enabling rapid decision-making and transparent communication throughout the code review lifecycle.
