isnt pigtailing in the panel also a code violation?


No.

I thought you had to either put each home run or branch circuit on its
on breaker OR have it made up in a J-box intead of taking to the panel
and pigtailing


Lots of people think that -- but nobody's been able to show me where the Code
says that...

Right, the panel is a listed enclosure where you can make splices. It's
more of a best practices thing since the panel tends to get crowded
anyway and having splices and pigtails in the panel just makes it that
much messier.
