Convert the review to the code-review plugin and grant the GITHUB_TOKEN write scope. The token was scoped to pull-requests/issues: read, so any attempt to post a review was denied and nothing appeared on the PR. Add the inline-comment MCP tool and gh commands to --allowedTools so the plugin can buffer and post its comments, and enable track_progress for a visible summary. Mirrors the fix already applied to tower-finder-service. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
The Claude Code Review workflow ran on PRs but no review ever appeared. Two
layers of permission denials caused this:
GITHUB_TOKENwas scoped topull-requests: read/issues: read,so every attempt to post was denied.
code-reviewplugin buffers inline comments viamcp__github_inline_comment__create_inline_comment, which was not in Claude'sallowed tools, so posts were denied even with write scope.
Fix
