A fork pull request reaches this job, but GitHub withholds CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN from pull_request workflows triggered by forks. Opening, updating, reopening, or marking such a PR ready therefore starts a review that cannot authenticate.

The action falls back to github.token, but this job grants only read access to pull requests and issues. When the review finds a problem, GitHub rejects creation of its review or comment, so the workflow cannot publish its result.

The action uses github.token by default, while this job grants read-only issue and pull-request scopes. A valid @claude request can run Claude but receive a GitHub API authorization error when the action tries to post its reply.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
For issue_comment, pull_request_review_comment, and pull_request_review events, the default checkout ref is the repository's default branch rather than the pull request head. An @claude request about changed code can therefore inspect or modify the wrong revision and return an answer that omits the PR changes.
