feat: add agent mode for automation scenarios (#337)

* feat: add agent mode for automation scenarios

- Add agent mode that always triggers without checking for mentions
- Implement Mode interface with support for mode-specific tool configuration
- Add getAllowedTools() and getDisallowedTools() methods to Mode interface
- Simplify tests by combining related test cases
- Update documentation and examples to include agent mode
- Fix TypeScript imports to prevent circular dependencies

Agent mode is designed for automation and workflow_dispatch scenarios
where Claude should always run without requiring trigger phrases.

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Minor update to readme (from @main to @beta)

* Since workflow_dispatch isn't in the base action, update the examples accordingly

* minor formatting issue

* Update to say beta instead of main

* Fix missed tracking comment to be false

\*Required when using direct Anthropic API (default and when not using Bedrock or Vertex)
> **Note**: This action is currently in beta. Features and APIs may change as we continue to improve the integration.
## Execution Modes
The action supports two execution modes, each optimized for different use cases:
### Tag Mode (Default)
The traditional implementation mode that responds to @claude mentions, issue assignments, or labels.
- **Triggers**: `@claude` mentions, issue assignment, label application
- **Features**: Creates tracking comments with progress checkboxes, full implementation capabilities
- **Use case**: General-purpose code implementation and Q&A
```yaml
- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
with:
anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
# mode: tag is the default
```
### Agent Mode
For automation and scheduled tasks without trigger checking.
- **Triggers**: Always runs (no trigger checking)
- **Features**: Perfect for scheduled tasks, works with `override_prompt`
- **Use case**: Maintenance tasks, automated reporting, scheduled checks
```yaml
- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
with:
mode: agent
anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
override_prompt: |
Check for outdated dependencies and create an issue if any are found.
```
See [`examples/claude-modes.yml`](./examples/claude-modes.yml) for complete examples of each mode.
### Using Custom MCP Configuration
The `mcp_config` input allows you to add custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to extend Claude's capabilities. These servers merge with the built-in GitHub MCP servers.
