 ### Hook Input Structure
 
-All hooks receive standardized input in JSON format through stdin (command) or POST body (http).
+All hook executors receive the standardized event input. The delivery boundary depends on the executor:

+| `function` | Trusted in-process callback                                     |
+| `prompt`   | Configured model provider after the input replaces `$ARGUMENTS` |
+
+Function hooks are trusted code running in the Qwen process. They receive an in-process object, so fields must not be treated as immutable against a function hook.
+

 Event-specific fields are added based on the hook type. When running in a subagent, `agent_id` and `agent_type` are additionally included.
 
+Hook input is a forward-extensible JSON contract: new optional fields can be added to existing events. Consumers should ignore unknown fields. A strict decoder that rejects unknown properties must be updated to explicitly allow each new optional field before upgrading Qwen Code. For security-sensitive hooks, a decoder failure can change fail-open or fail-closed behavior, so administrators must validate the upgraded payload against the deployed hook before rollout.

 #### UserPromptSubmit
 
-**Purpose**: Executed when the user submits a prompt to modify, validate, or enrich the input.
+**Purpose**: Executed before supported model invocations to validate, block, or enrich the current model-bound prompt. The event currently covers `UserQuery`, `ToolResult`, and `Hook` sends, while `Retry`, `Steer`, `Cron`, `Notification`, and `Teammate` sends are skipped. It can therefore occur on continuation paths, and `prompt` must not be assumed to be raw user input.
 
 **Event-specific fields**:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "prompt": "the user's submitted prompt text"
+  "prompt": "current model-bound prompt for this hook invocation",
+  "submitted_prompt": "optional user text captured at a supported interactive TUI submission boundary"
 }
 ```
 
+`submitted_prompt` is optional. It is present only when Qwen can carry provenance from a supported interactive TUI submission to a fresh `UserQuery`. It is omitted for unsupported producers and machine-driven paths such as same-turn steering, tool-result continuations, retries, cron, notifications, and teammate traffic. ACP, headless, `serve`, SDK, and remote-input paths do not produce it in this version.
+
+Deferred input can retain the field when its provenance remains complete. A combined batch retains provenance only when every constituent item has it; edited, partially known, or otherwise ambiguous input omits the field. Prompt, command, and shell-history navigation or selected search matches, cross-restart stash restores, and conversation rewind restores also omit it because those paths can surface model-bound text without its original provenance. Consumers that require user-submitted text should treat absence as unavailable rather than falling back to `prompt`.
+
+After restored or provenance-unavailable model-bound input is cleared or submitted, the composer also clears its undo and redo history. This prevents undo from restoring expanded text after its marker or sidecar has been consumed.
+
+Large-paste placeholders remain compact in `submitted_prompt`; the expanded pasted content appears only in `prompt`. Consumers should treat the field as a TUI text projection rather than a byte-for-byte record of clipboard input.
+
+Any non-empty input present while Vim mode is enabled omits `submitted_prompt`, including after Vim is disabled, because Vim registers do not carry provenance in this version. This conservative rule also covers drafts entered before enabling Vim. Clearing the composer starts a new eligible input.
+
+This field is provenance, not authentication, tenant identity, authorization, or DLP. It is caller-supplied data. Every executor configured for this event receives it; in particular, HTTP hooks send it to their endpoint and prompt hooks send it to their model provider.
+
+When both fields are present, prompt-hook payloads contain overlapping text and can consume additional model input tokens. There is no per-hook field suppression in this version.
+
+Sequential UserPromptSubmit hooks can append `additionalContext` to `prompt`; `submitted_prompt` continues to represent the captured submission. Function hooks are trusted same-process code and are not constrained by an immutability guarantee.
