ci: grant claude-review write perms so PR reviews can post#531
Merged
Conversation
The Claude Code Review workflow (added in #530) granted only `pull-requests: read` / `issues: read`. The anthropics/claude-code-action needs Pull requests + Issues write access to post its findings as inline PR comments — with read-only, the run succeeds but posts nothing (observed: `permission_denials_count: 20`, `No buffered inline comments`, zero comments on PRs #522–#527/#529). Per the official docs, the action's GitHub App requires Contents/Issues/Pull requests Read & write, and every posting example uses `pull-requests: write` + `issues: write`. Bump pull-requests and issues to write (contents stays read — review-only, no commits/PRs created). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The code-review plugin only posts findings when invoked with `--comment`; without it the action reviews the PR (spending tokens) but prints to the hidden terminal and posts nothing. Confirmed across PRs #522–#527/#529: runs complete `success` with write perms (post-#531) but log "No buffered inline comments" and leave zero comments. Per the plugin spec ("If --comment was NOT provided, stop here. Do not post any GitHub comments."). Append --comment to the prompt; #531's pull-requests/issues write perms are required for it to post and stay in place. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
