+# Auto-Fix CI Workflow Implementation Checkpoint
+
+## Overview
+This document captures the learnings from implementing auto-fix CI workflows that allow Claude to automatically fix CI failures and post as claude[bot].
+
+## Journey Summary
+
+### Initial Goal
+Create an auto-fix CI workflow similar to Cursor's implementation that:
+1. Detects CI failures on PRs
+2. Automatically triggers Claude to fix the issues
+3. Creates branches with fixes
+4. Posts PR comments as claude[bot] (not github-actions[bot])
+
+### Key Implementation Files
+
+#### 1. Auto-Fix Workflow
+**File**: `.github/workflows/auto-fix-ci-inline.yml`
+- Triggers on `workflow_run` event when CI fails
+- Creates fix branch
+- Collects failure logs
+- Calls Claude Code Action with `/fix-ci` slash command
+- Posts PR comment with fix branch link
+
+#### 2. Fix-CI Slash Command
+**File**: `.claude/commands/fix-ci.md`
+- Contains all instructions for analyzing and fixing CI failures
+- Handles test failures, type errors, linting issues
+- Commits and pushes fixes
+
+#### 3. Claude Code Action Changes (v1-dev branch)
+**Modified Files**:
+- `src/entrypoints/prepare.ts` - Exposes GitHub token as output
+- `action.yml` - Adds github_token output definition
+
+## Critical Discoveries
+
+### 1. Authentication Architecture
+
+#### How Tag Mode Works (Success Case)
+1. User comments "@claude" on PR → `issue_comment` event
+2. Action requests OIDC token with audience "claude-code-github-action"
+3. Token exchange at `api.anthropic.com/api/github/github-app-token-exchange`
+4. Backend validates event type is in allowed list
+5. Returns Claude App token → posts as claude[bot]
+
+#### Why Workflow_Run Failed
+1. Auto-fix workflow triggers on `workflow_run` event
+2. OIDC token has `event_name: "workflow_run"` claim
+3. Backend's `allowed_events` list didn't include "workflow_run"
+4. Token exchange fails with "401 Unauthorized - Invalid OIDC token"
+5. Can't get Claude App token → falls back to github-actions[bot]
+
+### 2. OIDC Token Claims
+GitHub Actions OIDC tokens include:
+- `event_name`: The triggering event (pull_request, issue_comment, workflow_run, etc.)
+- `repository`: The repo where action runs
+- `actor`: Who triggered the action
+- `job_workflow_ref`: Reference to the workflow file
+- And many other claims for verification
+
+### 3. Backend Validation
+**File**: `anthropic/api/api/private_api/routes/github/github_app_token_exchange.py`
+
+The backend validates:
+```python
+allowed_events = [
+    "pull_request",
+    "issue_comment", 
+    "pull_request_comment",
+    "issues",
+    "pull_request_review",
+    "pull_request_review_comment",
+    "repository_dispatch",
+    "workflow_dispatch",
+    "schedule",
+    # "workflow_run" was missing!
+]
+```
+
+### 4. Agent Mode vs Tag Mode
+- **Tag Mode**: Triggers on PR/issue events, creates tracking comments
+- **Agent Mode**: Triggers on automation events (workflow_dispatch, schedule, and now workflow_run)
+- Both modes can use Claude App token if event is in allowed list
+
+## Solution Implemented
+
+### Backend Change (PR Created)
+Add `"workflow_run"` to the `allowed_events` list in the Claude backend to enable OIDC token exchange for workflow_run events.
+
+### Why This Works
+- No special handling needed for different event types
+- Backend treats all allowed events the same way
+- Just validates token, checks permissions, returns Claude App token
+- Event name only used for validation and logging/metrics
+
+## Current Status
+
+### Completed
+- ✅ Created auto-fix workflow and slash command
+- ✅ Modified Claude Code Action to expose GitHub token as output
+- ✅ Identified root cause of authentication failure
+- ✅ Created PR to add workflow_run to backend allowed events
+
+### Waiting On
+- ⏳ Backend PR approval and deployment
+- ⏳ Testing with updated backend
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once the backend PR is merged and deployed:
+
+### 1. Test Auto-Fix Workflow
+- Create a test PR with intentional CI failures
+- Verify auto-fix workflow triggers
+- Confirm Claude can authenticate via OIDC
+- Verify comments come from claude[bot]
+
+### 2. Potential Improvements
+- Add more sophisticated CI failure detection
+- Handle different types of failures (tests, linting, types, build)
+- Add progress indicators in PR comments
+- Consider batching multiple fixes
+- Add retry logic for transient failures
+
+### 3. Documentation
+- Document the auto-fix workflow setup
+- Create examples for different CI systems
+- Add troubleshooting guide
+
+### 4. Extended Features
+- Support for multiple CI workflows
+- Customizable fix strategies per project
+- Integration with other GitHub Actions events
+- Support for monorepo structures
+
+## Alternative Approaches (If Backend Change Blocked)
+
+### Option 1: Repository Dispatch
+Instead of `workflow_run`, use `repository_dispatch`:
+- Original workflow triggers dispatch event on failure
+- Auto-fix workflow responds to dispatch event
+- Works today without backend changes
+
+### Option 2: Direct PR Event
+Trigger on `pull_request` with conditional logic:
+- Check CI status in the workflow
+- Only run if CI failed
+- Keeps PR context for OIDC exchange
+
+### Option 3: Custom GitHub App
+Create separate GitHub App for auto-fix:
+- Has its own authentication
+- Posts as custom bot (not claude[bot])
+- More complex but fully independent
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+1. **OIDC Context Matters**: The event context in OIDC tokens determines authentication success
+2. **Backend Validation is Simple**: Just a list check, no complex event-specific logic
+3. **Agent Mode is Powerful**: Designed for automation, just needed backend support
+4. **Token Flow is Critical**: Understanding the full auth flow helped identify the issue
+5. **Incremental Solutions Work**: Start simple, identify blockers, fix systematically
