What's Wrong?

I am using claude code on the web for the first time. It will not create a PR. There is no create PR button, and hovering over the PR icon over the chat entry box always says "PR not created yet" no matter what I do.

I have used codex extensively, and there you need to grant codex permission to create PRs inside particular repos (an option that is available from the codex web UI) in order to allow it to create PRs. I was never offered this option during the codex web setup, and there is no path through the current UI where I can find such a setting.

I have extensively chatted both with the in-tool agent, as well as with standard claude chat, and all these tools invent different UI paths, blame github, etc.

My guess is that there is a bug in the UI where the page granting permissions is hidden, and this is why the tool keeps timing out.

What Should Happen?

There should be a link within the claude code web interface that takes me to github and allows me to grant the claude github application permission to create PRs inside particular repos.

Error Messages/Logs

Pushing files and creating the PR right now.

API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Sign up as a new Claude user as part of an organization.
  2. Sign up for Claude code on the web, and grant permissions (successfully) to authenticate as my github user.
  3. Create a new claude code task associated with a particular repo and branch (at this stage repositories and branches are visible).
  4. Claude will never actually create a PR!!
  5. Repeatedly remind claude code that it needs to create a PR for the task to be successful.
