fix: unbreak scheduled PR pipeline after action parsing change

lroolle · claude · lroolle · commit df50edb8be6e · 2026-07-07T20:57:15.000-07:00
Since ~June 14 every scheduled run pushed a docs branch, failed silently on 'gh pr create', barked a notification, and exited green: claude-code-action@main changed claude_args parsing so 'Bash(gh pr:*)' split on the space into two invalid permission rules. Result: 31 orphan branches, zero PRs, three weeks of stale main. - Move tool permissions to .claude/settings.json (JSON survives any arg parsing; settingSources=project already loads it in CI) - Pin claude-code-action to v1.0.168 instead of the moving @main - Add a Verify outcome tripwire: pushed branch without a PR, or uncommitted changes after the agent step, now fail the run - Bark protocol: notify only after a real PR URL exists; bark a failure alert otherwise - fetcher: record failures in .metadata.json (they were discarded), print per-host failure breakdown, support JINA_API_KEY (r.jina.ai rate limiting caused 574 of 731 failures), skip terraform pages that serve no .md variant (the other 157) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+            A notification without a PR behind it is worse than no notification.
