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 updates the Claude Code review workflow to post feedback as native GitHub comments instead of using sticky comments. The changes include:

• Removed use_sticky_comment: true parameter to disable sticky comment mode
• Enhanced prompt with repository context and PR number via GitHub Actions variables
• Added claude_args with --allowedTools to explicitly allow the inline comment tool and gh pr commands
• Updated instructions to guide Claude to use gh pr comment for top-level feedback and mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment for inline code comments

The workflow configuration is well-structured and follows the pattern successfully implemented in the referenced PR from shakacode/hichee-data#367.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are configuration-only updates to a GitHub Actions workflow that improve the comment posting mechanism. The workflow syntax is valid, the tool permissions are properly configured, and the approach follows a proven pattern from another repository. No code logic is modified.
• No files require special attention
