Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - FAQ documents bot_id/bot_name inputs; no release note or merged PR adding them was cited. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action/blob/main/docs/faq.md (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): FAQ attributes this 403 to App tokens not being able to call /user and documents bot_id/bot_name inputs as the solution.
