ci(claude-review): allow dependabot + renovate bots#11
Merged
Conversation
claude-code-action@v1 rejects bot-initiated workflows by default with "Workflow initiated by non-human actor: dependabot (type: Bot). Add bot to allowed_bots list or use '*' to allow all bots." When this reusable workflow is the required PR check on a project, every dependabot PR is permanently blocked. We hit this with all 6 dependabot PRs on topcoder1/techrecon (#39-44). Whitelist dependabot + renovate explicitly. Avoid '*' so genuine random bot actors still get rejected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

No issues found. Change is minimal and correct — bot name format matches what the action reports, tool scope is already constrained via claude_args. |

Why
claude-code-action@v1 rejects bot-initiated PRs by default. When this reusable workflow is a required check, every dependabot PR is permanently blocked.
Hit on topcoder1/techrecon: 6 open dependabot PRs (#39-44) all blocked with:
```
Workflow initiated by non-human actor: dependabot (type: Bot).
Add bot to allowed_bots list or use '*' to allow all bots.
```
Fix
Whitelist dependabot + renovate explicitly. Avoid '*' so genuine random bot actors still get rejected.
Risk
Caller workflows that pin to `@main` pick this up automatically next run. Caller workflows pinned to a tag are unaffected until they upgrade.
