AI / Merge Mind: The Self Learning AI Code Review Bot Interview Questions
What is Hot Reload in Merge Mind, and why is it useful?

- Avoids downtime in the review pipeline while configuration changes are applied
- Useful when rotating an OpenAI API key or switching model versions
- Reduces operational friction for a self-hosted system that a team has to maintain themselves
For a tool sitting in the critical path of every merge request, being able to reconfigure it without a restart keeps code review from grinding to a halt during routine maintenance.
