From 108fb9ed891048471c4932b8200fb3553ac9fde3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: giswqs Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:22:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(ci): restore Claude PR review under subprocess env scrubbing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Claude Code Review has posted nothing since 2026-07-20 while still burning $0.50-$1.00 per run. The workflow was unchanged; the regression came in through the moving `anthropics/claude-code-action@v1` tag. Because this workflow sets `allowed_non_write_users`, the action now auto-enables `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB=1` (its action.yml), which strips GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN from every subprocess Claude spawns. Our prompt drove the whole review through `gh` — `gh pr diff` to read the change and `gh pr comment` to publish it — so all of it failed unauthenticated. Claude fell back to Read/Grep on the checkout, spent its turns there, and had no way to publish. The run still reported success, which is why this went unnoticed: the only visible symptoms were a benign cache warning and the action's own "bypassing write permission check" notice, neither of which is the cause. Rather than opt out of the scrub (which would put the write-scoped token back within reach of a prompt injection carried in an untrusted fork diff), keep the hardening and route around `gh`: - A workflow step stages the diff, changed-file list, and PR metadata into `pr-context/` for Claude to Read. - Inline findings keep using the `github_inline_comment` MCP server; its token comes from the MCP server config, not the environment, so it survives the scrub. - Claude ends with the summary as its final message; a workflow step publishes it from the action's `execution_file` output. Bash is dropped from --allowedTools entirely: no token reaches the agent, so no `gh` invocation there could have worked anyway. --- .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml | 123 ++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 118 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml b/.github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml index 94ddbdfbc..ac9133889 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml @@ -6,6 +6,30 @@ name: Claude Code Review # dependencies or executes the PR's code, so untrusted fork code is never run # with the elevated token. # +# NO GITHUB TOKEN REACHES THE AGENT.
