 ### Agent-host direct-write hooks (#2438, #2596)
 
 `directive init` and `deft update` idempotently merge Directive-owned entries into `.claude/settings.json`, `.grok/hooks/deft.json`, `.cursor/hooks.json`, and `.codex/hooks.json` while preserving unrelated settings. `SessionStart` refreshes resume bookkeeping on a non-blocking path. `PreToolUse` uses the lightweight `deft-hook` entrypoint rather than booting the full CLI router, reducing cold hook latency while retaining the same fail-closed ritual, scope, and runtime-authority decisions. Cursor `ApplyPatch` shares the direct-write registration, so each matched edit invokes one hook process. Cursor `preToolUse` deposits set `failClosed: true`, so allow decisions emit `{"permission":"allow"}` — empty stdout is treated as hook failure and would block Write tools. A second `PreToolUse` matcher covers spawn/Task tools (`Task`, `SubagentStart`, `spawn_subagent`, `start_agent`, `CreateAgent`) with the pre-`start_agent` gate stack for **implementation** spawns; explore and ephemeral postures skip active-xBRIEF (see three postures below).
