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 plugin-based approach with direct tool integration.

Key changes:

• Upgraded permissions from read to write for pull-requests and issues to enable commenting
• Replaced plugin marketplace configuration with explicit prompt instructions and tool allowlist
• Updated actions/checkout from v4 to v6
• Added claude_args with --allowedTools to explicitly permit gh pr comment, gh pr diff, gh pr view, and mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment
• Removed commented-out path filters and author filters (cleanup)

The workflow now uses gh CLI and MCP tools directly instead of the code-review plugin, making Claude's output appear as native GitHub PR comments.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are straightforward configuration updates to a GitHub Actions workflow. The migration from plugin-based to tool-based approach is well-structured, permissions are correctly upgraded from read to write to enable commenting functionality, and the tool allowlist is properly scoped to only necessary operations (gh pr comment/view/diff and inline comments). No code logic changes, just workflow configuration.
• No files require special attention
