Configuration Issue: The allowed_tools input is used throughout this test file but is not defined in base-action/action.yml. This means the tests won't work as expected since GitHub Actions won't pass this value to the environment.

Recommendation: Either:

  1. Add allowed_tools input to base-action/action.yml, OR
  2. Use claude_args: "--allowed-tools Bash" instead
