+    # noreply@anthropic.com); pushes made through the Claude GitHub App

+    # the generic `endsWith(actor, '[bot]')` / `sender.type == 'Bot'`
+    # rule above was silently skipping them. The two clauses added below
+    # opt those pushes back in.
+    #
+    # Of the two clauses, `github.actor == 'claude[bot]'` is the
+    # load-bearing one: App-mediated pushes present as a Bot actor
+    # ending in `[bot]`, which the middle clause rejects, so without it
+    # those pushes would still be skipped. `github.actor == 'claude'`
+    # is deliberate belt-and-suspenders, NOT the thing that enables
+    # review of Claude pushes: the `claude` user (id 81847) is a regular
+    # User account, so its pushes already satisfy the middle clause
+    # (`sender.type != 'Bot' && !endsWith(actor, '[bot]')`) and are
+    # admitted without this clause. It is kept only to stay correct if
+    # that account is ever reclassified as a Bot.
+    #
+    # This is safe from the self-trigger / frozen-comment recursion that
+    # originally motivated skipping bot pushes (see the concurrency
+    # comment above re: PR #809). This workflow is review-ONLY: the
+    # `--disallowedTools "Bash(git commit:*)" …` list on the review step
+    # means the reviewer can never commit, hence never push, hence never
+    # fire a `synchronize` event that would re-trigger itself. And the
+    # @claude agent's own commits are pushed with GITHUB_TOKEN, which by
+    # design does not fire `synchronize` at all (claude.yml dispatches us
+    # explicitly via workflow_dispatch instead), so this clause does not
+    # double-review those.
+    #
     # The `concurrency.cancel-in-progress` expression above mirrors this
     # condition — keep the two in sync so a run that skips here never
