+// Claude Code PostToolUse hook: surface Agent Channel arrivals MID-TURN, the way a human's own typed
+// message reaches the model while it is still working.
+//
+//   node hooks/btw.mjs claude
+//
+// Why this exists. The FileChanged hook fires the instant the listener writes agentchan_notify, but Claude Code
+// discards FileChanged output entirely — it can beep the terminal and nothing more. UserPromptSubmit does inject
+// context, but only when the human types, so a message landing during a long turn waits, sometimes many minutes,
+// and the agent works on regardless. PostToolUse supports additionalContext, and a working turn calls tools
+// constantly, so this is the seam where an arrival can reach the model without the human having to say anything.
+//
+// Rules it lives by:
+//  - Read only local files the resident listener maintains. A hook that runs after EVERY tool call must never
+//    touch the network; the listener already did.
+//  - Say each thing exactly once. A cursor file records the last event line reported, so a long turn does not
+//    re-announce the same message on every subsequent tool call.
+//  - Stay silent when nothing arrived, which is almost always. Silence is what makes it tolerable at this rate.
+//  - Never block, never fail loudly: any error exits 0 with no output.
