Conversation
Since APP_ID and APP_PRIVATE_KEY are not available (Claude is a third-party app), remove the GitHub App token generation step. The workflow will use the automatically provided GITHUB_TOKEN instead, which works perfectly for Claude code reviews. This eliminates the annotation error that was appearing on PRs.

Problem
The workflow shows an annotation error:
[@octokit/auth-app] appId option is requiredbecause APP_ID and APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets are not configured.Why
Claude is a third-party GitHub App, so we cannot generate private keys for it. Only the app owner (Anthropic) has access to those credentials.
Solution
Removed the GitHub App token generation step entirely. The workflow now uses the automatically provided
GITHUB_TOKEN, which works perfectly for Claude code reviews.Impact
