Make every automatic, untrusted trigger read-only and require an explicit trusted actor for any code change.
- handle-issue (issue opened): read-only triage; confirm bugs and tag the maintainer, never edit code or open a PR. Authenticates as GITHUB_TOKEN so replies post as github-actions[bot], not a personal account.
- handle-pr-fix (PR opened): applies fixes only for owner/member/collaborator authors; dropped allowed_non_write_users so the default write gate also applies.
- handle-pr-review (PR opened, external authors): read-only review comment only.
- mention (@claude comment): runs only for the repository owner; may open a PR from an issue or commit to a PR on explicit request.
No job authenticates as the static PAT anymore; the PAT is used only to route git pushes for the trusted PR-fix and owner-mention paths.
Split the review-only handle-pr job into handle-pr-fix (owner/member/collaborator PRs: apply refactors and bug fixes directly, commit to the PR branch, no suggestion blocks) and handle-pr-review (external/fork PRs: one review-only comment, no suggestions, no code checkout).
Upgrade handle-issue to open a fix PR for easy bugs (pushed via CLAUDE_BOT_PAT so pull_request CI runs on it), confirm the root cause and tag the maintainer for big bugs, and never open a PR for feature or enhancement requests.
- handle-issue: use Sonnet 4.6 and raise max-turns 150 to 250
- handle-pr: use Opus 4.8; rewrite review as inline comments stating the problem plus a suggestion block, posted as one COMMENT review
- mention: use Opus 4.8; on issues do research only (never commit) with full comment/history context and feature-request feasibility analysis; PR commit-on-request behavior unchanged
- reformat the mention append-system-prompt into a readable multi-line block (verified it still parses as a single CLI argument)
claude-code-action checks out the PR head branch and pushes Claude's
commits with `git push origin ...`. For PRs opened from a fork the head
branch lives on the contributor's repo, and the workflow GITHUB_TOKEN
cannot push there, so commits ended up as a stray branch on this repo
and never landed on the PR.
Redirect origin's push URL to the PR head repository (the fork for fork
PRs, this repo otherwise) using a PAT secret (CLAUDE_BOT_PAT) that has
push access; fetches still come from origin. persist-credentials is
disabled so the PAT in the push URL is used instead of the GITHUB_TOKEN
auth header. Requires the fork PR to have "Allow edits by maintainers"
enabled.
Rename claude-issue-bot.yml to claude-bot.yml and broaden it beyond
issues:
- handle-pr: review pull requests on open (read diff, label, post one
grounded review comment); review-only, no code changes.
- mention: allow committing. Add Edit/Write and git tools, contents:
write, and instruct it to make the smallest correct change and commit
to the current branch only on an explicit code-change request. Kept
default user gating (no allowed_non_write_users) so only write-access
users can trigger commits.
- Refresh the repository map (add internal/eventbus and the
service/email subpackage) across all three prompts.
- Raise max-turns.
