ci: improve Claude PR review workflow

- Use Claude GitHub App (claude[bot]) with use_sticky_comment for
  automatic single-comment edit-in-place behavior
- Add synchronize/reopened triggers so reviews re-run on every push
- Fix model parameter (pass via claude_args, not action input)
- Remove explicit github_token (Claude app handles auth)

Also documents branch strategy in CLAUDE.md: PRs target seismic
(production), not main (upstream tracking).

-               so you can verify whether previously flagged issues have been resolved.

 This guide provides comprehensive instructions for AI agents working on the Reth codebase. It covers the architecture, development workflows, and critical guidelines for effective contributions.
 
+## Branch Strategy
+
+- **`seismic`**: The default/production branch. All PRs should target `seismic` unless explicitly stated otherwise.
+- **`main`**: Tracks upstream `paradigmxyz/reth`. Do NOT open PRs against `main` for Seismic-specific changes.

 ## Project Overview
 
 Reth is a high-performance Ethereum execution client written in Rust, focusing on modularity, performance, and contributor-friendliness. The codebase is organized into well-defined crates with clear boundaries and responsibilities.
