Why is there no more tracking comment for v1 agent mode (e.g., automatic PR review?)

[jerry-reevo]

I noticed that after migrating to v1, the new agent mode no longer automatically creates an initial claude comment for tracking. When digging through the code, it seems to have been an explicit decision to skip a tracking comment. Why?

The main use case we are using the agent mode for is for performing an automatic PR review as soon as a PR is created. It seems like this case would certainly benefit from a tracking comment.

Same question here

If we could have a flag to opt out or in for the tracking comment. It would be great!

That's a WIP!

We just merged #506 in. This enables users to provide track_progres: true in the workflow file to forward to tag mode.

Example workflow here (https://github.com/km-anthropic/claude-code-action/blob/main/.github/workflows/claude-review.yml) but should be a minor change into your existing ones.

track_progress has been working reliably for a few days, but today I am realizing my flows started failing updating comments with <tool_use_error>Error: No such tool available: mcp__github_comment__update_claude_comment</tool_use_error>. Failing as in, the initial comment content stays as:

**Claude finished @cansin's task** —— [View job](https://github.com/abridgeai/encounter-processor/actions/runs/some_Digits)

I'll analyze this and get back to you.

Do you have any advice? Adding mcp__github_comment__update_claude_comment to allowedTools did not mitigate the problem. And frankly, that error might be red herring.

Fwiw, my prompt has nothing special:

Experiencing this as well. Downgrading to v1.0.3 for now fixes it for us:

      - name: Run Claude Code Review
        id: claude-review
