Test: Trigger CI failure for auto-fix workflow

This allows workflows to use the Claude App token obtained by the action
for posting comments as claude[bot] instead of github-actions[bot].

Changes:
- Add github_token output to action.yml
- Export token from prepare.ts after authentication
- Allows workflows to use the same token Claude uses internally

+# 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
+

 # Custom Automations
 
-These examples show how to configure Claude to act automatically based on GitHub events. When you provide a `prompt` input, the action automatically runs in agent mode without requiring manual @mentions. Without a `prompt`, it runs in interactive mode, responding to @claude mentions.

-## Mode Detection & Tracking Comments

-The action automatically detects which mode to use based on your configuration:
-
-- **Interactive Mode** (no `prompt` input): Responds to @claude mentions, creates tracking comments with progress indicators
-- **Automation Mode** (with `prompt` input): Executes immediately, **does not create tracking comments**
-
-> **Note**: In v1, automation mode intentionally does not create tracking comments by default to reduce noise in automated workflows. If you need progress tracking, use the `track_progress: true` input parameter.

 ## Configuration and Tools
 
-### How does automatic mode detection work?
+### What's the difference between `direct_prompt` and `custom_instructions`?
 
-The action intelligently detects whether to run in interactive mode or automation mode:
+These inputs serve different purposes in how Claude responds:
 
-- **With `prompt` input**: Runs in automation mode - executes immediately without waiting for @claude mentions
+- **`direct_prompt`**: Bypasses trigger detection entirely. When provided, Claude executes this exact instruction regardless of comments or mentions. Perfect for automated workflows where you want Claude to perform a specific task on every run (e.g., "Update the API documentation based on changes in this PR").
-- **Without `prompt` input**: Runs in interactive mode - waits for @claude mentions in comments
 
-This automatic detection eliminates the need to manually configure modes.
+- **`custom_instructions`**: Additional context added to Claude's system prompt while still respecting normal triggers. These instructions modify Claude's behavior but don't replace the triggering comment. Use this to give Claude standing instructions like "You have been granted additional tools for ...".
 
 Example:
 
 ```yaml
-# Automation mode - runs automatically
+# Using direct_prompt - runs automatically without @claude mention
-prompt: "Review this PR for security vulnerabilities"
+direct_prompt: "Review this PR for security vulnerabilities"
-# Interactive mode - waits for @claude mention

-## Migration Examples
-
-### Basic Interactive Workflow (@claude mentions)
-
-**Before (v0.x):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
-  with:
-    mode: "tag"
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-    custom_instructions: "Follow our coding standards"
-    max_turns: "10"
-    allowed_tools: "Edit,Read,Write"
-```
-
-**After (v1.0):**
-
-```yaml

-  with:
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-    claude_args: |
-      --max-turns 10
-      --system-prompt "Follow our coding standards"
-      --allowedTools Edit,Read,Write
-```
-
-### Automation Workflow
-
-**Before (v0.x):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
-  with:
-    mode: "agent"
-    direct_prompt: "Review this PR for security issues"
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-    model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
-    allowed_tools: "Edit,Read,Write"
-```
-
-**After (v1.0):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
-  with:
-    prompt: |
-      REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-      PR NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-
-      Review this PR for security issues
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-    claude_args: |
-      --model claude-4-0-sonnet-20250805
-      --allowedTools Edit,Read,Write
-```
-
-> **⚠️ Important**: For PR reviews, always include the repository and PR context in your prompt. This ensures Claude knows which PR to review.
-
-### Automation with Progress Tracking (New in v1.0)
-
-**Missing the tracking comments from v0.x agent mode?** The new `track_progress` input brings them back!
-
-In v1.0, automation mode (with `prompt` input) doesn't create tracking comments by default to reduce noise. However, if you need progress visibility, you can use the `track_progress` feature:
-
-**Before (v0.x with tracking):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
-  with:
-    mode: "agent"
-    direct_prompt: "Review this PR for security issues"
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-```
-
-**After (v1.0 with tracking):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
-  with:
-    track_progress: true # Forces tag mode with tracking comments
-    prompt: |
-      REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-      PR NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-
-      Review this PR for security issues
-    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-```
-
-#### Benefits of `track_progress`
-
-1. **Preserves GitHub Context**: Automatically includes all PR/issue details, comments, and attachments
-2. **Brings Back Tracking Comments**: Creates progress indicators just like v0.x agent mode
-3. **Works with Custom Prompts**: Your `prompt` is injected as custom instructions while maintaining context
-
-#### Supported Events for `track_progress`
-
-The `track_progress` input only works with these GitHub events:
-
-**Pull Request Events:**
-
-- `opened` - New PR created
-- `synchronize` - PR updated with new commits
-- `ready_for_review` - Draft PR marked as ready
-- `reopened` - Previously closed PR reopened
-
-**Issue Events:**
-
-- `opened` - New issue created
-- `edited` - Issue title or body modified
-- `labeled` - Label added to issue
-- `assigned` - Issue assigned to user
-
-> **Note**: Using `track_progress: true` with unsupported events will cause an error.
-
-### Custom Template with Variables
-
-**Before (v0.x):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
-  with:
-    override_prompt: |
-      Analyze PR #$PR_NUMBER in $REPOSITORY
-      Changed files: $CHANGED_FILES
-      Focus on security vulnerabilities
-```
-
-**After (v1.0):**
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
-  with:
-    prompt: |
-      REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-      PR NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-
-      Analyze this pull request focusing on security vulnerabilities in the changed files.
-
-      Note: The PR branch is already checked out in the current working directory.
-```
-
-> **💡 Tip**: While you can access GitHub context variables in your prompt, it's recommended to use the standard `REPO:` and `PR NUMBER:` format for consistency.
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-**Before (v0.x):**
-
-```yaml

-## How Mode Detection Works
-
-The action now automatically detects the appropriate mode:
-
-1. **If `prompt` is provided** → Runs in **automation mode**
-
-   - Executes immediately without waiting for @claude mentions
-   - Perfect for scheduled tasks, PR automation, etc.
-
-2. **If no `prompt` but @claude is mentioned** → Runs in **interactive mode**
-
-   - Waits for and responds to @claude mentions
-   - Creates tracking comments with progress
-
-3. **If neither** → No action is taken
-
-## Advanced Configuration with claude_args
-
-The `claude_args` input provides direct access to Claude Code CLI arguments:
-
-```yaml
-claude_args: |
-  --max-turns 15
-  --model claude-4-0-sonnet-20250805

-  --system-prompt "You are a senior engineer focused on code quality"
-  --mcp-config '{"mcpServers": {"custom": {"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@example/server"]}}}'
-```
-
-### Common claude_args Options

-## Automatic PR Code Review
-
-**When to use:** Automatically review every PR opened or updated in your repository.
-
-### Basic Example (No Tracking)
-
-```yaml
-name: Claude Auto Review
-on:
-  pull_request:
-    types: [opened, synchronize]
-
-jobs:
-  review:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    permissions:
-      contents: read
-      pull-requests: write
-      id-token: write
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
-        with:
-          fetch-depth: 1
-
-      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
-        with:
-          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-          prompt: |
-            REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-            PR NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-
-            Please review this pull request with a focus on:
-            - Code quality and best practices
-            - Potential bugs or issues
-            - Security implications
-            - Performance considerations
-
-            Note: The PR branch is already checked out in the current working directory.
-
-            Use `gh pr comment` for top-level feedback.
-            Use `mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment` to highlight specific code issues.
-            Only post GitHub comments - don't submit review text as messages.
-
-          claude_args: |
-            --allowedTools "mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment,Bash(gh pr comment:*),Bash(gh pr diff:*),Bash(gh pr view:*)"
-```
-
-**Key Configuration:**
-
-- Triggers on `opened` and `synchronize` (new commits)
-- Always include `REPO` and `PR NUMBER` for context
-- Specify tools for commenting and reviewing
-- PR branch is pre-checked out
-
-**Expected Output:** Claude posts review comments directly to the PR with inline annotations where appropriate.
-
-### Enhanced Example (With Progress Tracking)
-
-Want visual progress tracking for PR reviews? Use `track_progress: true` to get tracking comments like in v0.x:
-
-```yaml
-name: Claude Auto Review with Tracking
-on:
-  pull_request:
-    types: [opened, synchronize, ready_for_review, reopened]
-
-jobs:
-  review:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    permissions:
-      contents: read
-      pull-requests: write
-      id-token: write
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
-        with:
-          fetch-depth: 1
-
-      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
-        with:
-          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
-          track_progress: true # ✨ Enables tracking comments
-          prompt: |
-            REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-            PR NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-
-            Please review this pull request with a focus on:
-            - Code quality and best practices
-            - Potential bugs or issues
-            - Security implications
-            - Performance considerations
-
-            Provide detailed feedback using inline comments for specific issues.
-
-          claude_args: |
-            --allowedTools "mcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment,Bash(gh pr comment:*),Bash(gh pr diff:*),Bash(gh pr view:*)"
-```
-
-**Benefits of Progress Tracking:**
-
-- **Visual Progress Indicators**: Shows "In progress" status with checkboxes
-- **Preserves Full Context**: Automatically includes all PR details, comments, and attachments
-- **Migration-Friendly**: Perfect for teams moving from v0.x who miss tracking comments
-- **Works with Custom Prompts**: Your prompt becomes custom instructions while maintaining GitHub context
-
-**Expected Output:**
-
-1. Claude creates a tracking comment: "Claude Code is reviewing this pull request..."
-2. Updates the comment with progress checkboxes as it works
-3. Posts detailed review feedback with inline annotations
-4. Updates tracking comment to "Completed" when done

-            Repository: ${{ github.repository }}
-
-            Your task:
-            1. Use mcp__github__get_issue to get details of the current issue (#${{ github.event.issue.number }})
-            2. Search for similar existing issues using mcp__github__search_issues with relevant keywords from the issue title and body
-            3. Compare the new issue with existing ones to identify potential duplicates
-
-            Criteria for duplicates:
-            - Same bug or error being reported
-            - Same feature request (even if worded differently)
-            - Same question being asked
-            - Issues describing the same root problem
-
-            If you find duplicates:
-            - Add a comment on the new issue linking to the original issue(s)
-            - Apply a "duplicate" label to the new issue
-            - Be polite and explain why it's a duplicate
-            - Suggest the user follow the original issue for updates
-
-            If it's NOT a duplicate:
-            - Don't add any comments
-            - You may apply appropriate topic labels based on the issue content

-            You're an issue triage assistant for GitHub issues. Your task is to analyze the issue and select appropriate labels from the provided list.
-
-            IMPORTANT: Don't post any comments or messages to the issue. Your only action should be to apply labels.
-
-            Issue Information:
-            - REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-            - ISSUE_NUMBER: ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
-
-            TASK OVERVIEW:
-
-            1. First, fetch the list of labels available in this repository by running: `gh label list`. Run exactly this command with nothing else.
-
-            2. Next, use the GitHub tools to get context about the issue:
-               - You have access to these tools:
-                 - mcp__github__get_issue: Use this to retrieve the current issue's details including title, description, and existing labels
-                 - mcp__github__get_issue_comments: Use this to read any discussion or additional context provided in the comments
-                 - mcp__github__update_issue: Use this to apply labels to the issue (do not use this for commenting)
-                 - mcp__github__search_issues: Use this to find similar issues that might provide context for proper categorization and to identify potential duplicate issues
-                 - mcp__github__list_issues: Use this to understand patterns in how other issues are labeled
-               - Start by using mcp__github__get_issue to get the issue details
-
-            3. Analyze the issue content, considering:
-               - The issue title and description
-               - The type of issue (bug report, feature request, question, etc.)
-               - Technical areas mentioned
-               - Severity or priority indicators
-               - User impact
-               - Components affected
-
-            4. Select appropriate labels from the available labels list provided above:
-               - Choose labels that accurately reflect the issue's nature
-               - Be specific but comprehensive
-               - Select priority labels if you can determine urgency (high-priority, med-priority, or low-priority)
-               - Consider platform labels (android, ios) if applicable
-               - If you find similar issues using mcp__github__search_issues, consider using a "duplicate" label if appropriate. Only do so if the issue is a duplicate of another OPEN issue.
-
-            5. Apply the selected labels:
-               - Use mcp__github__update_issue to apply your selected labels
-               - DO NOT post any comments explaining your decision
-               - DO NOT communicate directly with users
-               - If no labels are clearly applicable, do not apply any labels
-
-            IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
-            - Be thorough in your analysis
-            - Only select labels from the provided list above
-            - DO NOT post any comments to the issue
-            - Your ONLY action should be to apply labels using mcp__github__update_issue
-            - It's okay to not add any labels if none are clearly applicable
