[Due for payment 2026-04-28] [Due for payment 2026-04-23] Fix: Reviewer inline comments not posting due to missing allowed-rules.txt

[kacper-mikolajczak]

Problem

In the claude-review.yml workflow (PR Reviews with Claude Code), the createInlineComment.sh script fails silently on every PR because allowed-rules.txt is missing at the "Post code review results" step.

The "Extract allowed rules" step runs earlier and writes the file to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/.claude/allowed-rules.txt, but the claude-code-action step runs between those two steps and modifies the workspace, removing the untracked file. As a result, zero reviewer inline comments have been posted since the structured output workflow was deployed. The error is swallowed by || true, so the failure is invisible.

Solution

Store allowed-rules.txt in $RUNNER_TEMP instead of $GITHUB_WORKSPACE. $RUNNER_TEMP persists across all job steps within a runner and is unaffected by git operations or workspace modifications. Additionally, make the ALLOWED_RULES_FILE path in createInlineComment.sh overridable via an environment variable with a fallback to the old path for backward compatibility.
