+Bot Detection for GitLab Automation
+====================================
+
+Prevents infinite loops by detecting when the bot is reviewing its own work.
+
+Key Features:
+- Identifies bot user from configured token
+- Skips MRs authored by the bot
+- Skips re-reviewing bot commits
+- Implements "cooling off" period to prevent rapid re-reviews
+- Tracks reviewed commits to avoid duplicate reviews
+
+Usage:
+    detector = BotDetector(
+        state_dir=Path("/path/to/state"),
+        bot_username="auto-claude-bot",
+        review_own_mrs=False

+Rate Limiting Protection for API Automation
+============================================
+
+Comprehensive rate limiting system that protects against:
+1. API rate limits (configurable based on platform)
+2. AI API cost overruns (configurable budget per run)
+3. Thundering herd problems (exponential backoff)
+
+Components:
+- TokenBucket: Classic token bucket algorithm for rate limiting
+- RateLimiter: Singleton managing API and AI cost limits
+- @rate_limited decorator: Automatic pre-flight checks with retry logic
+- Cost tracking: Per-model AI API cost calculation and budgeting
+
+Usage:
+    # Singleton instance
+    limiter = RateLimiter.get_instance(
+        api_limit=5000,  # GitLab: varies by tier, GitHub: 5000/hour
+        api_refill_rate=1.4,  # tokens per second
+        cost_limit=10.0,  # $10 per run
