fix(action): use Claude App token by default for claude[bot] identity - #1

Remove fallback to github.token which caused reviews to be posted as github-actions[bot] instead of claude[bot]. When github_token is not provided, the upstream action creates its own GitHub App token that posts as claude[bot], matching the filter in comment hygiene prompts.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Change is correct — removes the fallback that was causing identity mismatch between posted reviews (github-actions[bot]) and the cleanup logic (which queries by actual bot identity using BOT_LOGIN).
The upstream action will create its own GitHub App token with claude[bot] identity when github_token is not provided, fixing the cleanup flow.
