/ultrareview returns empty findings [] on large diff instead of error
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 30, 2026 by Blizzke Closed May 4, 2026
Description
/ultrareview completed with a task notification status of completed and a findings payload of [], but on a diff that is clearly too large to have genuinely zero findings (170 files changed, 37k+ insertions).
Expected behaviour
Either return actual findings, or surface a clear error/partial-result indicator when the review cannot be completed (e.g. diff too large, timeout, internal failure).
Actual behaviour
Task status: completed
Findings returned: []
No error message or partial-result warning was shown.
Impact
Silent failure — the empty result looks indistinguishable from a genuine clean review, so the user has no signal that the review did not run.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
/ultrareviewon a branch with a large diff against main (~170 files, ~37k lines). - Wait for the task notification.
- Observe
[]findings withcompletedstatus and no error.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI
/ultrareview(no-arg form, local branch diff)
