You are integrating Claude Code into your Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.

Option C gives the reviewer access to the evidence currently missing from its prompt. An agentic review can use Grep, Glob, Read, language-server tools, and test commands to locate callers, follow imports, inspect type definitions, and verify whether a suspected compatibility issue actually exists. A turn limit controls cost while still allowing targeted exploration.

Anthropic’s context-engineering guidance recommends just-in-time retrieval: agents should retain lightweight references and dynamically load the information needed for the current task instead of preloading a large fixed context. Anthropic has also reported that code-review performance improves when the necessary repositories are available for gathering complete context. Option A may load many irrelevant files while still missing reflection, generated interfaces, dependency injection, or indirect call paths beyond the arbitrary two-hop boundary. Option B cannot reason reliably about code that the model cannot inspect. Option D improves coverage but fragments repository-wide relationships and may duplicate substantial work. An agentic loop can begin with the diff, identify uncertain cross-file effects, search only relevant paths, and report findings only after locating supporting code.
