  "account": "On October 15, Anthropic made its Claude Code review tool generally available to Claude Team and Enterprise organizations. The review system is designed to never fail a pull request check. When a review finding remains open, Anthropic's own repositories block the merge of the pull request. The review process involves a few agents reading the code diff and surrounding context, with a verification pass discarding any false positives. The tool marks findings as Important, Nit, or Pre-existing, and posts them as inline comments on the pull request along with a dedicated check run named Claude Code Review. The review runs on Anthropic's infrastructure with read-only access to the code and only works with GitHub repositories. It is not available for organizations with Zero Data Retention, HIPAA configurations, or customer-managed encryption keys. The team posts that a review never approves or blocks a pull request, and the check run always concludes as not a failure. The team also explains that approving a pull request is still a human decision, and the product posts findings, not approvals. If you want findings to block a merge, two options are available: requiring resolved conversations or gating on Important findings only. A pre-merge step script is provided to enforce these rules in your repository.",
