Added section explaining that fork PRs cannot access the automated
Claude Code review workflow due to GitHub's security model. This
helps set expectations for external contributors.
Contributors can still submit PRs from forks - they just won't get
automated Claude reviews. Maintainers can manually transfer branches
if automated review is desired.

### Automated Code Review Workflow
249
+
250
+
This repository uses [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) for automated code reviews on pull requests.
251
+
252
+
**Important Note for External Contributors:**
253
+
254
+
Due to GitHub's security model, automated workflows cannot access secrets or authentication tokens for pull requests from forked repositories. This means:
255
+
256
+
- ✅ **PRs from branches in `malston/chrome-tabs`** will receive automated Claude code reviews
257
+
- ❌ **PRs from forked repositories** will not trigger the automated review workflow
258
+
259
+
**If you're contributing from a fork:**
260
+
261
+
Your PR will still be reviewed manually by maintainers. The automated Claude review is a convenience feature but not required for contributions to be accepted.
262
+
263
+
If you'd like automated review on your PR, a maintainer can:
264
+
1. Fetch your branch from your fork
265
+
2. Push it to the main repository
266
+
3. Create a new PR from the main repository branch
267
+
268
+
This limitation exists to protect repository secrets and is a standard security practice for GitHub Actions workflows.
