Subject: [PATCH] Add CodeRabbit config to limit review frequency

Configure CodeRabbit to:
- Skip draft PRs to avoid reviewing work-in-progress
- Exclude documentation and lock files from reviews
- Disable poems and request_changes workflow for concise output
- Only auto-review PRs targeting main branch
