Agent mode hardcoded `claudeCommentId: undefined`, so the MCP comment server started without `CLAUDE_COMMENT_ID`. Every `update_claude_comment` call failed with "CLAUDE_COMMENT_ID environment variable is required", silently discarding the sticky comment feature. When `use_sticky_comment: true` and the context is an entity event (PR or issue), call `createInitialComment()` — the same function tag mode uses — and pass the resulting ID to the MCP server config. The cleanup phase in run.ts already handles comment updates when commentId is set, so no changes needed there. Non-entity events (workflow_dispatch, schedule, push) correctly skip comment creation since there is no PR or issue to attach to. Fixes anthropics#1108.

Problem
use_sticky_comment: truesilently does nothing in agent mode. The MCP comment server starts withoutCLAUDE_COMMENT_ID, so everyupdate_claude_commenttool call fails with "CLAUDE_COMMENT_ID environment variable is required". No comment ever appears on the PR. Fixes #1108.Root cause
src/modes/agent/index.tshardcodesclaudeCommentId: undefined(line 105) and never callscreateInitialComment(). Tag mode calls it and passes the ID — agent mode skips it entirely.Fix
When
use_sticky_comment: trueand the context is an entity event (PR or issue), callcreateInitialComment()beforeprepareMcpConfigand pass the returned ID. The same function tag mode uses — handles sticky comment reuse, event type routing, and fallback logic.Non-entity events (
workflow_dispatch,schedule,push) correctly skip comment creation via theisEntityContext()guard, since there's no PR or issue to attach a comment to.The cleanup phase in
run.tsalready updates the comment whencommentIdis set, so no changes are needed there.Testing
