Description

**Describe the bug**
When setting up the Claude Code GitHub action, I sporadically encounter errors with Claude's ability to commit changes it makes.

**To Reproduce**
Install Claude Code action via `/install-github-app` and then open a few issues for Claude to work on and wait for it to fail to commit the changes due to permission issues.

**Expected behavior**
I expect Claude to commit changes to files it writes.

**Screenshots**
It seems to be when the message has line breaks or other commands mixed in that it doesn't match the permitted commands.

Notice how it tries different messages and on the n-th attempt with just one-line messages, it successfully performs the commit.

**Workflow yml file**
I'm just using the default workflow file that comes with `/install-github-app`

**API Provider**

[x] Anthropic First-Party API (default)
[ ] AWS Bedrock
[ ] GCP Vertex

**Additional context**
I have no `CLAUDE.md` file or anything else in the repo which would affect instructions or enforce additional permissions.
