What's Wrong?

Body to paste:
## Summary
/ultrareview is unusable for me on a private monorepo on the Claude Max plan. Both invocation modes fail and there's no UI path I can find to fix the underlying GitHub authorization.

## Environment

  • CLI version: 2.1.126
  • Plan: Claude Max
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
  • Repo: private monorepo, ~21K LoC diff in current PR
  • Branch: feat/react-19-next-16-migrationmain (PR exists, OPEN)

## Repro

  1. /ultrareview <PR#>Ultrareview could not start the remote session: GitHub repository access check failed — re-authorize GitHub in settings
  2. /ultrareview (no arg) → Repo is too large. Push a PR and use /ultrareview <PR#> instead.

So the only viable mode (PR mode) is blocked by the auth error, and the suggested fallback (no-arg mode) is blocked by repo size. There is no working path.

## What I tried

  • claude auth logout + claude auth login (fresh session) — no change
  • Settings → Connectors → GitHub Integration: shows "Connected" — no change
  • Settings → Claude Code → enabled "Create pull requests automatically" toggle — no change
  • claude.ai/code: cloud environment shows the repo correctly attached (checkmark in repo picker) — but CLI still fails
  • Settings → Claude Code → Authorization tokens: ALL tokens have only user:* scopes (file_upload, inference,

mcp_servers, profile, sessions:claude_code). No repo or github scope on any token. No "Connect GitHub for Claude Code" UI surfaced anywhere.

## Hypothesis
/ultrareview PR-mode needs a GitHub-scoped token attached to my Claude account, but no UI path exists to grant it.
The "GitHub Integration" connector under Settings → Connectors appears to be for chat sessions only and doesn't grant the scope /ultrareview needs.

## Ask
Either expose the GitHub-scope grant UI (Settings → Claude Code section), or have /ultrareview trigger the OAuth flow directly when the auth check fails.
