remote review URL not configured

Error message

remote review URL not configured

What it means

The remote review feature requires a review service URL, obtained from commit_with_check_review_url(). When that configuration is absent the review cannot be dispatched and the library bails immediately, before building the request.

Solutions

1. Configure the remote review URL in your myflow config (the key commit_with_check_review_url reads, e.g. review_url).
2. Run `f auth` / myflow setup to populate defaults.
3. Verify the config file exists and the key spelling matches the current version's schema.
4. Check you're in the right environment (config may be per-user/per-project).

Example fix

// config before (missing key)
[review]
// after
[review]
url = "https://myflow.example.com/review"

if commit_with_check_review_url().is_none() {
    anyhow::bail!("remote review URL not configured; set [review] url in myflow config");
}

fn review_url_configured() -> bool {
    commit_with_check_review_url().is_some()
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the remote review function (e.g. via `f commit` with check/review) when commit_with_check_review_url() returns None — the review URL config key is unset.

Common situations: Fresh install without myflow configuration; config file missing the review URL key; running with a stripped config in CI; typo in config key name; older config format after upgrade.

Understand the failure class

Background: "missing required config value" errors: why libraries refuse to start when a configuration key is empty, unset, or blank — this error's family across 48 libraries.
