coderabbit: add high-level summary instructions

[Prucek]

Summary

• Adds high_level_summary_instructions to .coderabbit.yaml so CodeRabbit generates more accurate PR descriptions with repo context

This PR adds a high_level_summary_instructions field to the CodeRabbit configuration in .coderabbit.yaml.

The new field provides CodeRabbit with repository context about the OpenShift CI tooling infrastructure—including the key components (ci-operator, controllers, CLI tools, and configuration systems)—along with explicit guidance on how to generate PR summaries. Specifically, it instructs CodeRabbit to explain changes in practical terms for CI users and operators, to mention which component is affected, and to avoid mechanical diffs in favor of describing actual behavior changes.

For CI users and operators, this improves the quality of automated PR summaries: instead of listing modified files, CodeRabbit will now explain what a change actually does to the CI infrastructure and who it impacts. This makes it easier to quickly understand the practical implications of PRs in this critical tooling repository.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

This repository is configured in: automatic mode

✅ Passed checks (14 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately describes the main change: adding high-level summary instructions to the coderabbit configuration file.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Go Error Handling	✅ Passed	The PR adds configuration to .coderabbit.yaml (a YAML file), not Go code. The Go error handling check is not applicable to YAML configuration files.
Test Coverage For New Features	✅ Passed	PR adds configuration-only change to .coderabbit.yaml. The custom check explicitly exempts configuration-only changes from test coverage requirements. No new Go code or functions introduced.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR only modifies .coderabbit.yaml config file with no Ginkgo test code. Custom check for stable test names is not applicable to configuration files.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	PR only modifies .coderabbit.yaml configuration file. No Ginkgo test code present. Check for test structure quality is not applicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This PR only modifies .coderabbit.yaml (configuration file), not adding any Ginkgo e2e tests. The MicroShift compatibility check only applies when new tests are added.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This PR only modifies .coderabbit.yaml configuration file. No new Ginkgo e2e tests are added, so the SNO test compatibility check does not apply.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR modifies only .coderabbit.yaml with tool configuration and summary instructions. No deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, or scheduling constraints are introduced.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR modifies only .coderabbit.yaml configuration and documentation files. No Go code changes present. OTE Binary Stdout Contract check is not applicable to configuration-only changes.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This PR only modifies .coderabbit.yaml (a configuration file) and does not add any Ginkgo e2e tests. The custom check for IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility is not applicable.
