+ * Hooks that PXE invokes during client-side simulation to gate operations that the protocol
+ * does not restrict on its own. They give the wallet a chance to apply custom policies (e.g.
+ * prompting the user, consulting a dynamic allowlist, or inspecting call arguments) before the
+ * execution proceeds.
+ *
+ * For example, {@link authorizeUtilityCall} is called whenever a utility function makes a
+ * cross-contract call. A call made by a malicious contract could leak private information, so the
+ * hook lets the wallet decide, per-call, whether to allow it. A static allowlist would not work
+ * here because neither the app nor the wallet can predict ahead of time which contracts will be
+ * invoked during execution.
+ *
+ * Note: hooks are unrelated to authentication witnesses (authwits). Authwits are an on-chain
+ * mechanism where a contract verifies that a caller was authorized by a specific account; hooks
+ * are a client-side PXE concern that gates execution before it proceeds.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * const pxe = await PXE.create({
+ *   // ...
+ *   hooks: {
+ *     authorizeUtilityCall: async (req) => {
+ *       // Allow calls to a known helper contract, deny everything else.
+ *       return req.target.equals(trustedHelper)
