Fix Claude Code Review workflow comment tooling

[justin808]

This ports the Claude Code review workflow fix from shakacode/hichee-data#367:

• update prompt instructions so Claude posts feedback via GitHub comments
• allow required tools via claude_args --allowedTools
• remove sticky-comment mode

This makes Claude review output appear as top-level and inline PR comments.

Greptile Summary

This PR modernizes the Claude Code Review workflow by replacing the deprecated sticky comment mode with direct GitHub comment integration. The changes include:

• Removed use_sticky_comment: true parameter to switch from single updating comment to standard PR comment workflow
• Enhanced prompt with explicit instructions on using gh pr comment for top-level feedback and mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment for inline code comments
• Added claude_args with --allowedTools to explicitly grant Claude access to the GitHub comment tools and PR viewing commands
• Improved prompt structure with clearer review focus areas (code quality, bugs, security, performance)

The workflow now produces more natural PR review output with both top-level comments and inline code annotations, matching the fix previously applied in the hichee-data repository.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no risk
• The changes are purely configuration updates to a GitHub Actions workflow. The modifications improve the workflow by replacing a deprecated approach with a more standard GitHub PR comment integration. The syntax is correct, the tool permissions are appropriately scoped, and this exact pattern has been successfully tested in another repository (hichee-data#367). No code logic changes are involved.
• No files require special attention
