Warning

Review limit reached

@SeoFood, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 9 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

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.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Windows downloads are switched to the Microsoft Store instead of a direct installer. A new getWindowsStoreUrl helper and opensNewTab field are added to the platform-download library and consumed by landing/header components, the release-status page, and Windows install docs. Locale strings and tests are updated accordingly.

Changes

Microsoft Store Windows downloads

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Platform download helper src/lib/platform-download.ts	Adds Windows Store URL constants, exports getWindowsStoreUrl(locale), adds opensNewTab to PlatformDownloadTarget, and sets it per platform/context in getPlatformDownloadTarget().
Landing/header link behavior src/components/landing/download-cta.tsx, src/components/landing/hero.tsx, src/components/layout/header.tsx, src/components/landing/platform-download-menu.tsx, src/components/landing/platforms-coming-soon.tsx	Replaces the iOS-specific new-tab check with opensNewTab/getPlatformDownloadTarget results to drive target/rel on download links.
Release status page and Windows docs src/pages/[locale]/release-status.astro, src/pages/docs/windows/_installation.tsx	Release status page adds a Store link plus a GitHub installer link; Windows docs split instructions into Store steps and manual GitHub installer steps with updated copy.
Locale strings src/i18n/locales/en/common.json, src/i18n/locales/de/common.json	Updates Windows download labels to Microsoft Store wording and adds a githubInstaller string in both locales.
Routing tests tests/download-routing.spec.ts	Updates fixtures and assertions to expect Microsoft Store URLs/labels and validate rel/target based on opensNewTab.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Poem

A rabbit hops to Windows' door,
No more installer, there's a store! 🛒
Store steps here, GitHub there,
New tabs open with due care.
Hop, click, install — all set,
Microsoft's shelf, no regret! 🐇

- Line 13: The German translation for the Windows download navigation label is
inconsistent with the rest of the locale strings. Update the
`nav.downloadWindows` entry in the `common.json` locale so it uses the same
wording pattern as the other Windows Store strings, matching the style of this
file (for example, using the equivalent of “Aus dem Microsoft Store”).
