    Claude Code Review never blocks a merge: GitHub App vs Action vs /code-review vs a local gate

    <p>Anthropic's managed Code Review never approves or blocks a pull request. Its check run concludes as neutral or skipped, never as a failure, and the docs say you can merge without responding to a finding unless your repository's own rules require it.</p> <p>So before you pick h…
