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

Updated Claude Code Review workflow to use GitHub PR comments instead of sticky comments for better integration.

• Removed use_sticky_comment: true parameter
• Enhanced prompt with detailed review focus areas and explicit tool usage instructions
• Added claude_args with --allowedTools to enable specific GitHub comment and PR viewing tools

This aligns the workflow with the updated Claude Code action capabilities and improves review visibility.

Confidence Score: 5/5
