Why
The pr-review action pins the reviewer model to Claude Opus 4.6. Opus 4.8 is the current Opus-tier model (stronger bug-finding, clearer explanations, better long-horizon agentic behavior), so the required PR-review gate should run on it.
What this changes
.github/actions/pr-review/action.yml:--model claude-opus-4-6→claude-opus-4-8(one line). No other behavior changes.Compatibility note
claude-code-actionforwards--modelopaquely to the bundled Claude Code CLI, which forwards the string to the API (no client-side model allowlist). The action'sclaude_argspass no thinking/sampling/prefill arguments, so none of the Opus 4.7+ request-surface breaking changes apply here — the bump is a model-string change only.One thing for the reviewer to weigh: this branch keeps the existing pinned
claude-code-action@661a6fefbd05(v1.0.130, 2026-05-21). That release predatesclaude-opus-4-8appearing in the public model catalog, so the bundled CLI may not "know" the model for any client-side defaulting. If we want belt-and-suspenders, pair this with a bump of the pinned action SHA to a current release — but that is a supply-chain change that deserves its own diff review under the secret/write-token boundary, so it's intentionally left out of this PR.Draft pending that decision.
