108
+ > **v2.27.0 (2026-07-22):** Rune had one opinion about response shape — `caveman`, optimising token count — and no rule for what a style may **not** compress. That gap had teeth: caveman's "hedging dies" list auto-activates at ORANGE/RED context and deleted phrases like *"I'm assuming the migration ran"*, promoting an unverified claim into observed grammar at exactly the point in a session where the agent is most likely to be wrong. New **output-mode layer** (`context-engine`) holds every mode behind one activation contract and a five-rule precedence list — **shape is negotiable, substance is not**: calibration > evidence > a skill's `## Output Format` > safety > actionability > economy. New **`actionable` mode** optimises distance-to-doing (next action first, steps numbered, position restated each turn) and stacks with caveman. New **claim discipline** in `completion-gate` types every load-bearing statement OBSERVED / DERIVED / PRIOR / ASSUMED — *hallucination is an unverified claim wearing the grammar of an observation* — and adds a `DECLARED` verdict so an honest hedge is recorded as an open item, never scored as a lie.

  > **v2.26.2 (2026-07-22):** The other half of the Codex wiring fix — v2.26.1 made the hook matchers fire, this makes the hooks **succeed**. Codex parses hook stdout as JSON and reports anything else as `hook: <Event> Failed`, discarding the output; Rune's hooks printed bare `[Rune: ...]` lines, so every hook that loaded on Codex ran, exited 0, and had its output thrown away. Hooks now emit the envelope both runtimes accept — `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` for context events, `systemMessage` otherwise — which is Claude Code's documented contract too, not a Codex branch. Verified live against codex-cli 0.145: the same hook goes `SessionStart Failed` → `SessionStart Completed`.

  > **v2.26.1 (2026-07-22):** Rune's runtime hooks were silently inert on **Codex CLI**. `hooks/hooks.json` is loaded by both Claude Code and Codex — Codex reads `<plugin>/hooks/hooks.json`, the same path, and maps the event names — but every tool matcher named only Claude's tools. Codex has no `Read`, `Write`, `Edit` or `Bash` tool; it issues `shell_command`, `exec`, `apply_patch`, `view_image`, `spawn_agent`. So the privacy gate and the secret scanner matched nothing and never fired. Matchers now name both platforms' tools (plain alternation — Claude behaviour is byte-for-byte unchanged), and `pre-tool-guard` reads the target path out of a Codex `apply_patch` payload (`*** Update File: <path>`), which is what makes it an actual gate there instead of a no-op. Note that Codex does not support `async` hooks yet and skips them, so Rune's six background hooks stay inactive on Codex — `async` is kept because Claude Code honours it.

72

73
+ This changes what the gate is looking for in Step 2:
74
+
75
+ - **OBSERVED** → demands an evidence artifact. No artifact = FAIL. This is the existing gate.
76
+ - **DERIVED** → demands the mechanism be stated, and its OBSERVED inputs to be present.
77

+ The gate catches a false claim *after* the work is done, by demanding evidence for it. Claim
4

5
+ grammar a statement is allowed to wear.
6
+
7

11
+
12
+ Type every load-bearing statement — the ones that, if wrong, collapse the answer. Ignore
13

14

15

16
+ |------|---------|-----------------|
17

21
+
22
+ ## Rules
23
+
24
+ 1. **Promotion happens by tool, never by restatement.** Checking a PRIOR makes it OBSERVED.
25
+ Saying it again more confidently does not. Confidence that rose from effort, repetition,
26
+ or fluent prose resets to the last evidence-backed level.
27
+ 2. **Downgrade honestly.** When the environment changes, an earlier OBSERVED becomes PRIOR —
28
+ a test that passed before an edit is not evidence about the code after it.
29
+ 3. **Version-sensitive claims are PRIOR until checked.** APIs, flags, defaults, prices,
30
+ model names, package versions. These decay silently.
31
+ 4. **"I don't know", followed by what would settle it, is a first-class answer.** An
32
+ answer-shaped non-answer is worse than an honest gap.
33
+ 5. **A claim about your own output is not OBSERVED until it is checked against the exact
34
+ delivered text.** Re-reading your own work and agreeing with yourself is the weakest
35
+ possible evidence: it always passes.
36
+
37
+ ## How this pairs with the gate
38
+
39
+ | | Claim discipline | The gate (Steps 1–3) |
40
+ |---|---|---|
41
+ | When | While writing the claim | After the work, before merge |
42
+ | Mechanism | Grammar must match evidence level | Claim must match an evidence artifact |
43
+ | Catches | Confident phrasing of an unverified thing | A claim with no artifact behind it at all |
44
+
45
+ They are the same discipline at two moments. A claim typed honestly in the first place
46
+ usually arrives at the gate already carrying its evidence; a claim that had to be softened
47
+ to stay honest ("I am assuming the migration ran") is one the gate can then chase.
48
+
49
+ **Gate consequence:** a claim delivered as ASSUMED or PRIOR is not a gate failure — it is
50
+ the correct output when the check was not run. A claim delivered as OBSERVED with no
51
+ artifact is a FAIL. Do not let a hedge be treated as the same defect as a lie.
52
+
53
+ ## Interaction with output styles
54
+
55
+ Output styles (`context-engine` → `references/output-modes.md`) compress prose. They must
56
+ never compress a claim into a stronger grammar than its evidence supports — deleting
57
+ "I am assuming" to save four tokens manufactures confidence. Calibration outranks brevity;
58
+ that precedence is stated in `output-modes.md` and enforced here.

384
+
385
+ Rune ships more than one opinion about response shape, and they conflict. `references/output-modes.md` is the layer that holds them: the mode registry, the shared activation contract (activate → persist → release, identical for every mode), and the precedence rule for when two active modes want opposite things.
386
+
387
+ **The precedence, in short — shape is negotiable, substance is not:**
388
+
389
+ 1. Calibration outranks every style — a style compresses prose, never a claim into stronger grammar than its evidence supports (`completion-gate` → `references/claim-discipline.md`).
390
+ 2. Evidence outranks brevity — what was run and what it returned is not filler.
391
+ 3. A skill's `## Output Format` outranks every style — shape the prose inside the sections, never drop a section or a finding.
392
+ 4. Safety outranks all shaping — destructive/irreversible confirmations revert to full prose.

22

23
+ ## The shape
24
+
25
+ 1. **Lead with the next action.** The first line is something the reader can do — a command,
26
+ a path, a snippet. Not context, not a plan, not what you are about to do.
27
+ 2. **Number multi-step work.** One bounded action per step. Fold trivial steps into the one
28
+ before; a short path finished beats a complete path abandoned.
29
+ 3. **Restate state every turn.** "Step 3 of 5 done: schema updated. Next: backfill." The
30
+ reader cannot hold position between messages. If the runtime has a todo/plan tool, let
31
+ it do the restating and do not narrate the plan as prose as well.
32
+ 4. **End with one concrete next action** — something doable in under two minutes. "Open the
33
+ file" counts.
34
+ 5. **Estimate in real units.** "About 15 minutes if tests already cover this" — not "some
35
+ work". Vague and specific estimates land identically, which makes vague ones useless.
36
+ 6. **Make finished work visible in concrete terms.** "Login now works with magic links. Try:
37
+ `npm run dev`, open `/login`." Not "I've made some changes to the auth flow."
38
+ 7. **Errors are matter-of-fact.** State cause and fix. No "Uh oh", no "There seems to be a
39
+ problem."
40
+ 8. **One thing at a time.** Finish the asked thing; a second issue gets one sentence at the
41
+ end, offered — never woven through the answer.
42
+ 9. **Rank instead of listing.** Past five items, split into do-now vs later. Five ranked
43
+ beats ten unranked. Splitting is not dropping — see precedence rule 3 in `output-modes.md`.
44
+ 10. **No preamble, no closer.** Start at the answer, stop when it is done.
45
+
46
+ ## What dies
47
+
48
+ - Openers: `Great question`, `Let me`, `I'll`, `Sure!`, `Looking at your…`, `To answer your question`
49
+ - Closers: `Hope this helps`, `Let me know if you need anything else`, `Happy to clarify`
50
+ - "By the way" sidebars, and idioms that replace a literal action (`circle back`, `get the ball rolling`)
51
+
52
+ ## What stays
53
+
54
+ - Hedges that carry real uncertainty. Deleting "I am assuming" manufactures confidence —
55

1
+ # Output Modes
2
+
3
+ Rune has more than one opinion about how a response should be shaped, and they do not agree.
4
+ This file is the layer that holds them: the registry of modes, the shared activation
5
+ contract, and — the part that actually matters — the precedence rule for when two active
6
+ modes want opposite things.
7
+
8
+ ## The registry
9
+
10
+ | Mode | Optimizes for | Reference | Default |
11
+ |------|---------------|-----------|---------|
12
+ | `caveman` | Token economy — strip filler, articles, pleasantries | `caveman-mode.md` | off; auto-on at ORANGE/RED context |
13
+ | `actionable` | Legibility — next action first, numbered steps, state restated | `actionable-mode.md` | off; user-invoked |
14
+ | (none) | Default runtime voice | — | on |
15
+
16
+ Modes stack. `caveman` + `actionable` together is a normal combination: terse *and*
17
+ action-first. They are not alternatives to each other, which is exactly why they need a
18
+ precedence rule.
19
+
20
+ ## Precedence (the rule that resolves conflicts)
21
+
22
+ Applied top-down. A higher rule wins outright; it is never traded off against a lower one.
23
+
24
+ 1. **Calibration outranks every style.** A style may compress prose. It may never move a
25
+ claim into a stronger grammar than its evidence supports. If compressing "I am assuming
26
+ the migration ran" into "the migration ran" saves four tokens, the four tokens lose.
27
+ See `completion-gate` → `references/claim-discipline.md`.
28
+ 2. **Evidence outranks brevity.** Reporting what was run and what it returned is not a
29
+ "recap" and is not filler — `verification`, `preflight` and `completion-gate` exist on
30
+ that evidence. A style may tighten how it is written, never whether it appears.
31
+ 3. **A skill's `## Output Format` outranks every style.** Most skills define the sections
32
+ their report must carry. A style shapes the prose *inside* those sections; it never
33
+ drops a section, a finding, or an item from a ranked list. A review with twelve findings
34
+ reports twelve.
35
+ 4. **Safety outranks all shaping.** Destructive-action confirmations, security warnings and
36
+ irreversible-step callouts revert to full prose for that response, in every mode. Both
37
+ mode references already carry this exception; it is restated here because it is the one
38
+ people cut first.
39
+ 5. **Actionability outranks economy.** When `caveman` and `actionable` are both on, the
40
+ numbered steps and the closing next-action survive; the prose around them is what gets
41
+ compressed.
42
+
43
+ The general form: **shape is negotiable, substance is not.** Every rule above is one
44
+ instance of it. When a new mode is added, it inherits this list rather than restating it.
45
+
46
+ ## Shared activation contract
47
+
48
+ Every mode follows the same lifecycle, so users learn it once:
49
+
50
+ | | Behaviour |
51
+ |---|---|
52
+ | Activate | Explicit user signal (`caveman`, `adhd mode`, `be brief`, `actionable`), or an automatic trigger the mode declares |
53
+ | Persist | Every response until explicitly released. **No drift back mid-session** — if unsure whether a mode is still on, it is |
54
+ | Release | `stop <mode>` or `normal mode`. Confirm in one line, then revert |
55
+ | Auto-release | Only where the mode declares one (e.g. `caveman` releases when context returns to GREEN) |
56
+ | Manual override | Always wins over an automatic trigger, in both directions |
57
+
58
+ State lives in the session, not on disk. A mode does not survive a new session unless the
59
+ user re-invokes it — deliberately, so a forgotten style never silently shapes a fresh
60
+ session's output.
61
+
62
+ ## Adding a mode
63
+
64
+ A new mode earns a file here only if it changes *shape*, applies across every response, and
65
+ is orthogonal to the ones already listed. If it changes *what work happens* it is a
66
+ behavioural context (`contexts/*.md`), not an output mode. If it applies to one skill's
67
+ report it belongs in that skill's `## Output Format`, not here.
