To prevent this: check for a subagent indicator in the hook input before spawning, use a shared variable or session state to track whether you're already inside a subagent, or scope hooks to only run for the top-level agent session.\n\nStop and subagent_stop hooks use blocking: false by default to prevent infinite loops. When these hooks fail, they provide informational feedback without blocking Claude, preventing situations where Claude gets stuck trying to fix compilation errors repeatedly.\n\n## Recursive Hook Danger\n\nA PostToolUse hook that calls Claude again can trigger an infinite recursive loop, spawning endless processes and potentially crashing your system and burning through your API tokens. You can break the recursive chain by using the --settings flag to provide your sub-agent with a separate, minimal configuration file that explicitly disables all hooks.\n\n## Preventing Infinite Loops in Stop Hooks\n\nAlways check stop_hook_active to prevent infinite loops by exiting early if that flag is true.\n\nThese are the main documented limitations and safeguards for Claude Code hooks as of 2025-2026.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"8344d9f6-3033-4390-9993-52520e14944e","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:33:10.471Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"0657c063-7025-4b2c-be04-a155df0eb6ed","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

Here's what I found:\n\n## PreToolUse Hooks and Blocking Behavior\n\nPreToolUse hooks can be registered with a \"Write|Edit\" matcher so the callback only fires for file-writing tools. When a hook returns \"decision\": \"block\", it prevents Claude from stopping, and the reason field must be provided for Claude to know how to proceed and continue its work.\n\n## Known Issues with Write/Edit Operations\n\nThere's a reported bug where PreToolUse hooks that return exit code 2 properly block Bash tool operations but do not block Write or Edit tool operations - the hook runs and finds violations, but the file is still created/modified.\n\n## Agent Giving Up/Stopping\n\nRegarding agents stopping or giving up, the hooks system has a Stop event mechanism. For Stop hooks, \"decision\": \"block\" prevents Claude from stopping, and the reason field must be provided for Claude to know how to proceed and continue its work. This can be used to force task continuation rather than letting an agent give up.\n\nIf your agent is stopping prematurely after encountering a blocked Write operation, this could be related to the bug mentioned above where Write/Edit blocks aren't working properly, potentially confusing the agent about what it should do next.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"f5a0d83d-4f7d-48f5-a22a-6cc19028246d","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:33:25.836Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"a5c61a84-3ed4-4228-8547-d22808a44a90","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

The hooks receive JSON data via stdin containing session information and can control execution flow through exit codes or JSON output.\n\n## Conversation History Context\n\nClaude Code appends your message to the conversation history. This gives Claude the full context from all previous exchanges, so it always knows what you've been working on.\n\n## Tool Call Input and Hook Interaction\n\nTools receive input that can be examined in hooks - for example, the tool_input.command can be extracted from the JSON input sent to PreToolUse hooks. For UserPromptSubmit and SessionStart hooks, anything you write to stdout is added to Claude's context.\n\n## Context Management with Hooks\n\nWhen Claude's context window fills up, compaction summarizes the conversation to free space. Use a SessionStart hook with a compact matcher to re-inject critical context after every compaction. This allows you to preserve important information that might be lost during context compression.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"74fcd447-6185-4802-84aa-35a98cbdb6c2","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:33:56.885Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"94cfdd2f-cd83-45cb-a49f-2ebb616d5329","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

Here's what I found:\n\n## Stop Hook Decision Block\n\nInstead of exiting with code 2 to block, you can exit 0 and print a JSON object to stdout. Claude Code reads specific fields from that JSON to control behavior, including decision control for blocking, allowing, or escalating to the user.\n\n## How to Prevent Stopping\n\n\"decision\": \"block\" prevents Claude from stopping. The reason field must be provided for Claude to know how to proceed and continue its work.\n\nThe basic pattern is to return a JSON object with:\n```json\n{\n  \"decision\": \"block\",\n  \"reason\": \"Your guidance message here\"\n}\n```\n\nYou must choose one approach per hook, not both: either use exit codes alone for signaling, or exit 0 and print JSON for structured control. Claude Code only processes JSON on exit 0. If you exit 2, any JSON is ignored.\n\n## Practical Workaround: Marker File Pattern\n\nA critical pattern is to check if the stop hook is already active before proceeding, using input_data.get('stop_hook_active', False) to prevent infinite loops.\n\nThis pattern uses Stop hooks to create persistent task loops: Create task marker at session start, Stop hook blocks until marker removed, Claude must explicitly complete task to remove marker, no accidental \"I'm done\" when work is incomplete.\n\n## Continuous Workflow Example\n\nBy intercepting the agent's attempt to stop, you can programmatically block it and instead instruct it to use the AskUserQuestion tool. Include a reason in the JSON to instruct the agent to use the AskUserQuestion tool and continue the conversation.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"7ef8a054-2de2-4ca8-aef5-5d77314a7c11","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:34:11.364Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"e8e8e658-81dd-4d24-88e0-8a4bd79f4878","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

This prevents rich UI integrations (desktop apps, web dashboards) from handling plan mode questions, automated workflows that need to answer questions programmatically, centralized logging and tracking of all Q&A interactions, and remote question answering.\n\n## Current Workarounds\n\nA partial workaround uses the PreToolUse hook to detect when AskUserQuestion is being called and send question data to a backend API for handling. However, this still requires the user to answer in the CLI to unblock Claude Code, resulting in dual entry (answer in UI, then dismiss CLI prompt) with no automated workflows possible.\n\n## Additional Issues\n\nThere's also a related bug: When PreToolUse hooks are enabled in Claude Code settings, the AskUserQuestion tool fails to return the user's selected answer in the function results. Claude Code's internal hook result processing is not properly preserving tool response data for UI tools when PreToolUse hooks are active.\n\n## Alternative Approach\n\nWhen using the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code runs as a subprocess with no terminal attached. When AskUserQuestion tries to render its fancy TUI, there's nowhere to render it, and the tool just quietly fails. As a workaround, you can define an MCP tool to handle user interaction yourself and show whatever UI makes sense.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"204e3c57-a642-4d24-9d22-2c552ae5814e","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:34:29.170Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"3c9f6c4b-a2ea-4a31-ab9f-c3183cb194e7","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

The agent cannot bypass it, forget it, or reason its way around it.\n\n### How Hooks Block Tools\n\nPreToolUse hooks can block any tool call by returning exit code 2 or outputting a JSON decision with permissionDecision set to deny. This is commonly used to prevent destructive commands like rm -rf, DROP TABLE, or force pushes.\n\n### Why Hooks Are Deterministic\n\nA PreToolUse hook that checks file paths is deterministic — it cannot be bypassed, no matter what the AI decides. Hooks are deterministic — they always run.\n\n### Common Hook Mistakes to Avoid\n\nExit code 1 means \"error\" — Claude Code logs it and continues anyway. Your \"security gate\" is a suggestion, not a gate. The fix: Exit code 2 blocks the action. Exit 0 = pass. Exit 2 = block.\n\n### Verifying Hook Configuration\n\nRun /hooks in Claude Code to verify your hooks are loaded. If they're not listed, they're not running.\n\nThe key takeaway is that hooks provide deterministic control mechanisms—when properly configured with the correct exit codes or JSON decision fields, they cannot be bypassed by the agent, unlike prompt-based instructions which are suggestions the agent might ignore.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"7804d637-5721-4757-9e9b-e493295fa910","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:35:26.802Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"812d17c1-7cac-4699-aff0-e32c446afed4","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

For example, a **PreToolUse hook** receives:\n\n{ \"hook_type\": \"PreToolUse\", \"tool_name\": \"Bash\", \"tool_input\": { \"command\": \"rm -rf /tmp/build-cache\" }, \"session_id\": \"abc-123\", \"message_id\": \"msg-456\" }\n\n## Common Fields\n\nEvery hook event includes base fields in the JSON input. Event-specific fields are documented in the Hook Events In Detail section.\n\n## Reading the Input\n\nClaude Code sends detailed information through standard input (stdin) as JSON, containing context like the file path, content being written, session ID, and more. Your hook script reads this JSON using json.load(sys.stdin) in Python or similar methods in other languages.\n\nFor shell scripts, you can parse the JSON using tools like `jq`. You can extract command details with jq -r '.tool_input.command // empty' (fallback handles missing fields gracefully).\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"44e20da7-adac-47f8-aee7-59d92a1a30d8","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:35:51.526Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"425262c4-cdc2-403f-a47b-31ef70a10056","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

The answer data is completely missing from the hook result, making it impossible to validate or use user responses. Disabling all PreToolUse hooks resolves the issue immediately.\\n\\n## Severity\\n**Critical** - Blocks all interactive workflows that depend on receiving user choices from AskUserQuestion tool.\\n\\n## Reproduction Steps\\n\\n### Step 1: Verify AskUserQuestion Works Without Hooks\\n1. Set `\\\"disableAllHooks\\\": true` in `~/.claude/settings.json`\\n2. Restart Claude Code\\n3. Invoke AskUserQuestion tool with any question\\n4. **Expected Result**: Function returns `\\\"User has answered your questions: \\\\\\\"<question>\\\\\\\"=\\\\\\\"<answer>\\\\\\\"\\\"`\\n5. **Actual Result**: ✅ Works correctly - answer data is present\\n\\n### Step 2: Enable PreToolUse Hooks and Reproduce Bug\\n1. Set `\\\"disableAllHooks\\\": false` in `~/.claude/settings.json`\\n2. Restart Claude Code\\n3. Invoke AskUserQuestion tool with the same question\\n4. **Expected Result**: Function returns `\\\"User has answered your questions: \\\\\\\"<question>\\\\\\\"=\\\\\\\"<answer>\\\\\\\"\\\"`\\n5. **Actual Result**: ✗ Bug reproduced - function returns `\\\"User has answered your questions: .\\\"` (answer missing)\\n\\n### Step 3: Isolate Which Hook Type Causes Issue\\nTested with PreToolUse hooks disabled and PostToolUse hooks enabled:\\n- Result: ✅ AskUserQuestion works correctly\\n- Conclusion: **Bug is specifically in PreToolUse hook infrastructure**\\n\\n### Step 4: Test Individual PreToolUse Hooks\\nTested each of the three PreToolUse hooks individually:\\n1. `task_required_skills_tracker.py` - ✗ Causes bug\\n2. `prevent_skill_reinvocation.py` - ✗ Causes bug\\n3. `gated_tool_access_control.py` - ✗ Causes bug\\n\\n**Conclusion**: All PreToolUse hooks cause the bug (not specific to one hook)\\n\\n## Root Cause Analysis\\n\\n### Evidence That Hooks Are Implemented Correctly\\n1. **All three PreToolUse hooks use cchooks SDK properly**\\n   - They correctly call `context.output.allow()` or `context.output.deny()`\\n   - They follow the documented PreToolUse hook pattern\\n   - They output valid JSON with correct schema\\n\\n2. **PreToolUse hooks execute and return properly**\\n   - Hook debug logs confirm hooks execute successfully\\n   - Hooks return proper JSON decisions (allow/deny)\\n   - Hooks don't crash or exit with errors\\n\\n3. **AskUserQuestion tool executes and returns result**\\n   - Tool runs without errors\\n   - Tool produces a result object\\n   - Result contains the user's selected answer\\n\\n4. **The answer data is lost between tool execution and function result**\\n   - When hooks disabled: Full answer data returned\\n   - When hooks enabled: Answer data stripped\\n\\n### Root Cause Hypothesis\\nClaude Code's hook infrastructure has a bug when processing UI-only tools (like AskUserQuestion) in the presence of PreToolUse hooks. The most likely cause is:\\n\\n**Claude Code's internal hook result processing is not properly preserving tool response data for UI tools when PreToolUse hooks are active.**\\n\\nPossible mechanisms:\\n1. Claude Code replaces UI tool results with hook responses instead of merging them\\n2. The hook infrastructure has a special code path for UI tools that breaks with PreToolUse hooks\\n3. Result data is stripped during hook response serialization for UI tools\\n4. Hook output transformation doesn't account for UI tool response structures\\n\\n## Expected Behavior\\nWhen AskUserQuestion tool executes:\\n1. PreToolUse hook executes and returns allow decision\\n2. AskUserQuestion tool executes and returns user's selection\\n3. Function result includes both the hook decision AND the tool result with answer data\\n4. Answer data should be accessible in the function result\\n\\n## Actual Behavior\\nWhen AskUserQuestion tool executes:\\n1. PreToolUse hook executes and returns allow decision ✓\\n2. AskUserQuestion tool executes and returns user's selection ✓\\n3. Function result only includes hook decision ✗\\n4. Answer data is missing/stripped ✗\\n\\n## Impact\\n- **Blocks**: Any workflow using AskUserQuestion with PreToolUse hooks enabled\\n- **Affects**: All users with active PreToolUse hooks who need interactive tool responses\\n- **Prevents**: Validation of user choices, conditional logic based on selections, interactive task workflows\\n- **Workaround**: Disable all hooks (`\\\"disableAllHooks\\\": true`) - not acceptable for production use\\n\\n## Environment\\n- **Claude Code Version**: Latest (as of Nov 20, 2025)\\n- **Model**: claude-haiku-4-5-20251001\\n- **Platform**: Linux (Ubuntu)\\n- **Settings Location**: `~/.claude/settings.json`\\n\\n## Affected Code/Components\\n- Claude Code's PreToolUse hook infrastructure (internal, not cchooks SDK)\\n- Specifically: Hook result processing for UI-only tools\\n- Related: Hook result serialization/deserialization layer\\n\\n## Hook Configuration (Minimal Repro)\\n```json\\n{\\n  \\\"disableAllHooks\\\": false,\\n  \\\"hooks\\\": {\\n    \\\"PreToolUse\\\": [\\n      {\\n        \\\"matcher\\\": \\\"*\\\",\\n        \\\"hooks\\\": [\\n          {\\n            \\\"type\\\": \\\"command\\\",\\n            \\\"command\\\": \\\"~/.claude/hooks/production/any-pretooluse-hook.py\\\"\\n          }\\n        ]\\n      }\\n    ]\\n  }\\n}\\n```\\n\\n## Workaround\\n**Temporary**: Set `\\\"disableAllHooks\\\": true` in settings.json\\n- ⚠️ Not recommended for production (disables all safety hooks)\\n- ✅ Confirms bug is in hook infrastructure\\n- ⚠️ Removes all hook-based safety and guidance systems\\n\\n## Testing Notes\\n- Tested with 3 different PreToolUse hooks - all cause the bug\\n- Bug is 100% reproducible\\n- Bug appears immediately after restart with hooks enabled\\n- Bug disappears immediately when hooks disabled and restarted\\n- PostToolUse hooks do not cause the issue\\n- All other hook types do not cause the issue\\n\\n## Questions for Claude Code Team\\n1. Is there special handling for UI-only tools in the PreToolUse hook infrastructure?\\n2. Does the hook result processing preserve tool response data for UI tools?\\n3. Is there a serialization/deserialization issue with UI tool responses when PreToolUse hooks are active?\\n4. Should UI tools (like AskUserQuestion) be excluded from PreToolUse hook processing?\\n\\n## Related Files for Investigation\\n- Claude Code's internal hook result processing (not public)\\n- Hook infrastructure response handling for UI tools\\n- AskUserQuestion tool implementation's integration with hook system\\n- PreToolUse hook decision handling for non-state-modifying tools\\n\\n## Resolution Suggestions\\n1. **Preserve UI tool results in PreToolUse hook infrastructure**: Ensure that when PreToolUse hooks return an allow decision, the original tool result data (including UI tool responses) is preserved and merged with the hook response\\n2. **Special handling for UI-only tools**: Consider excluding UI-only tools from PreToolUse hook processing, or have a special code path that always preserves tool result data\\n3. **Validation in hook SDK**: Consider adding validation in cchooks SDK to warn developers if PreToolUse hooks are used with UI tools\\n\\n## Reproduction Code\\n```python\\n# Test case to reproduce the bug\\nfrom cchooks import AskUserQuestion\\n\\ndef test_asksuser_question_with_pretooluse_hooks():\\n    \\\"\\\"\\\"\\n    Setup:\\n    1.

Check this value or process the transcript to prevent Claude Code from running indefinitely.\n\n## How to Prevent Infinite Loops\n\nYour Stop hook blocks Claude (exit 2), Claude tries to stop again, the hook blocks it again, infinitely. If stop_hook_active is true, Claude already tried to stop and was blocked. Let it go.\n\n### Implementation Example\n\nHere's a practical example in bash:\n\nPrevent infinite loop — critical if [ \"$(echo \"$INPUT\" | jq -r '.stop_hook_active')\" = \"true\" ]; then exit 0 fi\n\nOr in Python:\n\nif input_data.get('stop_hook_active', False): sys.exit(0)\n\n## Key Principle\n\nOn the subsequent Stop, stop_hook_active is already true; the script exits silently, letting the conversation end normally.\n\nThe basic pattern is: when `stop_hook_active` is `true`, your hook should exit gracefully without blocking Claude, allowing the session to terminate rather than creating a loop where the hook repeatedly blocks and Claude repeatedly tries to stop.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"33dd6494-b931-4303-bde5-bba841fa7ce8","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:40:25.039Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"869aba99-da72-4f41-9ad7-4c7cd7397f4f","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

When a PreToolUse hook exits with code 2, Claude Code presents this to the model as a blocked/denied action, and the model's trained behavior treats blocked actions conservatively — it stops and defers to the user.\n\nIn plugin-heavy setups, every single tool call shows multiple \"hook error\" lines that are visible in the transcript and appear to be fed back into the model's context.\n\n## Solutions\n\nWhen a hook blocks a tool call, Claude Code reads the JSON decision, blocks the tool call, and shows Claude the reason. The key is to ensure your hooks are properly returning structured responses that Claude can understand and act upon, rather than generating false error signals.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"f67b0294-ad84-47d4-90c7-129f7f05e921","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:40:37.155Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"064ec040-9405-4a41-ae8a-99021237b308","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

The inconsistency suggests the model is interpreting the \\\"blocked tool call\\\" signal as a reason to defer to the user, rather than as actionable feedback.\\n\\n### Context that should prevent stopping\\n\\nThe stderr output includes explicit directives telling Claude to continue:\\n\\n```\\n<claude-directive>\\nThis is an AUTOMATED QUALITY GATE, not a user denial or permission rejection.\\nYou MUST continue your current workflow autonomously:\\n1.

Receive the stderr content as actionable feedback (this part works)\\n2. Continue its turn and act on that feedback — e.g., fix the reported errors and retry the tool call\\n3. NOT treat the hook block as equivalent to a user denial or permission rejection\\n\\nThe key distinction: a **user denial** (clicking \\\"deny\\\" on a permission prompt) means \\\"don't do this.\\\" A **hook exit code 2** means \\\"this action was blocked for a specific reason\\\" — Claude should read the reason and adapt, not stop.\\n\\n## Error Messages/Logs\\n\\n```\\nPreToolUse:Bash hook error: [bash \\\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/validate-code-before-commit/commit-quality-check.sh\\\"]: Running code quality checks before commit...\\n=== Python Checks ===\\nRunning Ruff linter...\\nRunning Ruff formatter...\\nRunning Mypy type check...\\nMypy type check failed:\\nSummary: 1 errors across 1 file(s)\\n  Types: 1 code\\n  → 8 share root cause: [annotation-unchecked]\\n[CODE] tests/test_fix_verify.py:367: error: Need type annotation for \\\"state\\\"  [var-annotated]\\n  Context:\\n     366│     # Create a staged state with fix and testing blocks populated\\n     367│     state = {\\n     368│         \\\"schema_version\\\": \\\"1.0.0\\\",\\nFound 1 error in 1 file (checked 56 source files)\\nEnvironment:\\n  Python: 3.14.1\\n  mypy: 1.19.0\\n\\n═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════\\nCOMMIT BLOCKED by commit-quality: Mypy type check failed\\n═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════\\n\\n───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\\nWHAT TO DO: Fix ALL errors shown above, then retry the commit.\\n───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\\n\\n<claude-directive>\\nThis is an AUTOMATED QUALITY GATE, not a user denial or permission rejection.\\nYou MUST continue your current workflow autonomously:\\n1.

The user must type \\\"continue\\\" or similar to get Claude to act on the errors.\\n\\n## Steps to Reproduce\\n\\n1. Create a `PreToolUse` hook on `Bash` that runs quality checks before `git commit`:\\n\\n```json\\n{\\n  \\\"hooks\\\": {\\n    \\\"PreToolUse\\\": [\\n      {\\n        \\\"matcher\\\": \\\"Bash\\\",\\n        \\\"hooks\\\": [\\n          {\\n            \\\"type\\\": \\\"command\\\",\\n            \\\"command\\\": \\\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/my-quality-check.sh\\\",\\n            \\\"timeout\\\": 300\\n          }\\n        ]\\n      }\\n    ]\\n  }\\n}\\n```\\n\\n2. The hook script detects `git commit` commands, runs linting/type-checking, and exits with code 2 when errors are found:\\n\\n```bash\\n#!/bin/bash\\nINPUT=$(cat)\\nCOMMAND=$(echo \\\"$INPUT\\\" | jq -r '.tool_input.command')\\n\\n# Only check git commit commands\\nif ! echo \\\"$COMMAND\\\" | grep -qE '\\\\bgit\\\\s+commit'; then\\n  exit 0\\nfi\\n\\n# Run type checker\\nOUTPUT=$(mypy . 2>&1)\\nif [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then\\n  echo \\\"Type check failed. Fix these errors and retry:\\\" >&2\\n  echo \\\"$OUTPUT\\\" >&2\\n  exit 2  # Block the commit\\nfi\\n\\nexit 0\\n```\\n\\n3. Ask Claude to commit changes in a project with a type error\\n4. The hook blocks the commit and feeds the error to Claude via stderr\\n5. **Observe**: Claude stops and waits for user input instead of fixing the type error and retrying\\n\\n## Claude Model\\n\\n- Opus\\n\\n## Is this a regression?\\n\\nYes, this worked in a previous version\\n\\n## Last Working Version\\n\\nNot certain of exact version. The behavior change correlates with the introduction of Claude Opus 4.6 (v2.1.32), first noticed around early February 2026. It may also be a model-level behavioral change rather than a Claude Code client change.\\n\\n## Claude Code Version\\n\\n2.1.37 (Claude Code)\\n\\n## Platform\\n\\nAnthropic API\\n\\n## Operating System\\n\\nmacOS\\n\\n## Terminal/Shell\\n\\niTerm2\\n\\n## Additional Information\\n\\n### Observations\\n\\n- **Intermittent**: Claude sometimes does handle the hook block correctly and fixes/retries. Other times it stops. This inconsistency suggests a model interpretation issue rather than a deterministic client bug.\\n- **Timing**: First noticed after Opus 4.6 became available (v2.1.32). The behavior was reliable with earlier Opus versions.\\n- **Bypass permissions mode**: Running with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` does not change the behavior. The hook block is processed correctly by the client — the issue is how the model responds to the \\\"blocked tool call\\\" signal.\\n\\n### Analysis\\n\\nThe root cause appears to be how the model interprets the \\\"tool call was blocked\\\" feedback. When a `PreToolUse` hook exits with code 2, Claude Code presents this to the model as a blocked/denied action. The model's trained behavior treats blocked actions conservatively — it stops and defers to the user, similar to how it would respond to a user clicking \\\"deny\\\" on a permission prompt.\\n\\nThe distinction between \\\"user denied this action\\\" and \\\"automated hook blocked this action with fixable feedback\\\" is not apparent to the model from the signal it receives.\\n\\n### Possible improvements\\n\\n1. **Differentiate hook blocks from user denials in the model's prompt**: When a PreToolUse hook exits with code 2, the message to the model could explicitly indicate this is an automated hook (not a user denial) and that the model should act on the feedback.\\n\\n2. **Add a hook output field like `expectContinuation: true`**: Allow hooks to signal that the block is expected to be resolved by the model, not by the user.\\n\\n3. **Surface the `<claude-directive>` or `additionalContext` from stderr**: Currently exit code 2 causes stdout/JSON to be ignored. If the stderr contains structured directives (like `<claude-directive>`), Claude Code could parse and present them as system instructions rather than just error text.\\n\\n### Workaround attempted\\n\\nEmbedding `<claude-directive>` tags in stderr with explicit instructions to continue. This works sometimes but not reliably — the \\\"blocked tool call\\\" signal appears to override embedded directives.\",\"comments\":[{\"id\":\"IC_kwDON91aY87q8l1z\",\"author\":{\"login\":\"coygeek\"},\"authorAssociation\":\"NONE\",\"body\":\"## Follow-up: PreToolUse exit-2 investigation results (Issue #24327)\\n\\nI ran a controlled investigation in an isolated harness and compared it with the original failing session (`a294c6fc-2c82-4209-a0d3-967a4772a10b`).\\n\\n### Outcome\\nI could **not** reproduce a model/client behavior where Claude silently stops after a `PreToolUse` exit-2 block.\\n\\nIn controlled runs, Claude consistently continued after the block signal and acted on it (fix + retry path).\\n\\n### What likely happened in the original session\\nIn the original trace, the commit-quality hook took ~20.5s between `git commit` tool call and hook error delivery.

This affects all hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, etc.) and all matchers.\\n\\nThe hooks:\\n- Exit with code 0\\n- Produce valid JSON on stdout (with `hookSpecificOutput`)\\n- Produce zero bytes on stderr (fd 2 is redirected to `/dev/null` before any code runs)\\n- Complete in <40ms (well under any timeout)\\n\\n### This is NOT just cosmetic — it causes premature turn termination\\n\\nIn plugin-heavy setups (e.g., magic-claude with ~15 hooks + context-mode with ~10 hooks), **every single tool call shows 2-4 \\\"hook error\\\" lines**. These false error labels are visible in the transcript and appear to be fed back into the model's context. The model interprets this accumulation of \\\"error\\\" signals as an indication that something is wrong and **prematurely ends its turn**, especially after Bash tool calls where multiple hooks fire (PreToolUse + PostToolUse from both plugins).\\n\\n**Observed behavior**: After a Bash command completes successfully (exit 0, correct output), Claude stops responding mid-task. The transcript shows:\\n\\n```\\n● Bash(echo \\\"hello\\\")\\n  ⎿  PreToolUse:Bash hook error      ← false error (hook exited 0)\\n  ⎿  hello\\n  ⎿  PostToolUse:Bash hook error     ← false error (hook exited 0)\\n```\\n\\nClaude sees 2+ \\\"error\\\" labels per tool call. After several tool calls, the accumulated \\\"error\\\" signals cause Claude to abandon its plan and end the turn, even though everything worked correctly.\\n\\n**Impact escalation**:\\n1. **Functional**: Turns terminate prematurely — Claude abandons multi-step tasks\\n2. **Alarm fatigue**: Users can't distinguish real errors from false ones\\n3. **Trust erosion**: Users blame their plugins for \\\"errors\\\" that don't exist\\n4. **Plugin ecosystem**: Discourages hook-based plugins — more hooks = more false errors = worse UX\\n\\n## Version\\n\\nClaude Code latest (as of 2026-03-15), Linux (WSL2)\\n\\n## Steps to Reproduce\\n\\n### Minimal reproduction\\n\\n1. Add a trivial hook to `~/.claude/settings.json`:\\n\\n```json\\n{\\n  \\\"hooks\\\": {\\n    \\\"PreToolUse\\\": [\\n      {\\n        \\\"matcher\\\": \\\"Read\\\",\\n        \\\"hooks\\\": [\\n          {\\n            \\\"type\\\": \\\"command\\\",\\n            \\\"command\\\": \\\"cat > /dev/null && echo '{\\\\\\\"hookSpecificOutput\\\\\\\":{\\\\\\\"hookEventName\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"PreToolUse\\\\\\\"}}'\\\"\\n          }\\n        ]\\n      }\\n    ]\\n  }\\n}\\n```\\n\\n2. Run any session that uses the Read tool\\n3. Observe: `PreToolUse:Read hook error` in the transcript\\n\\n### Real-world reproduction (plugin ecosystem)\\n\\n1. Install [magic-claude](https://github.com/doublefx/magic-claude) plugin (~15 hooks across all events)\\n2. Install [context-mode](https://github.com/doublefx/context-mode) plugin (~10 hooks)\\n3. Run any session\\n4. Every tool call shows multiple \\\"hook error\\\" lines:\\n\\n```\\n● Read 2 files (ctrl+o to expand)\\n  ⎿  PreToolUse:Read hook error\\n  ⎿  PostToolUse:Read hook error\\n  ⎿  PreToolUse:Read hook error\\n  ⎿  PostToolUse:Read hook error\\n```\\n\\n```\\n● plugin:context-mode — ctx_batch_execute (MCP)\\n  ⎿  PreToolUse:mcp__plugin_context-mode_context-mode__ctx_batch_execute hook error\\n  ⎿  PostToolUse:mcp__plugin_context-mode_context-mode__ctx_batch_execute hook error\\n```\\n\\n## Investigation Details\\n\\n### Hooks verified working correctly\\n\\nAll hooks were tested manually outside Claude Code and produce correct results:\\n\\n```bash\\n# context-mode PreToolUse — exits 0, valid JSON, 0 bytes stderr\\n$ echo '{\\\"tool_name\\\":\\\"Read\\\",\\\"tool_input\\\":{\\\"file_path\\\":\\\"/tmp/test.txt\\\"}}' | \\\\\\n  node ~/.claude/plugins/cache/context-mode/context-mode/1.0.26/hooks/pretooluse.mjs 2>/tmp/stderr.txt\\n{\\\"hookSpecificOutput\\\":{\\\"hookEventName\\\":\\\"PreToolUse\\\",\\\"additionalContext\\\":\\\"<context_guidance>...\\\"}}\\n$ echo \\\"exit=$? stderr=$(wc -c < /tmp/stderr.txt)b\\\"\\nexit=0 stderr=0b\\n\\n# context-mode PostToolUse — exits 0, no output needed, 0 bytes stderr\\n$ echo '{\\\"tool_name\\\":\\\"Read\\\",\\\"tool_input\\\":{},\\\"tool_response\\\":\\\"content\\\"}' | \\\\\\n  node ~/.claude/plugins/cache/context-mode/context-mode/1.0.26/hooks/posttooluse.mjs 2>/tmp/stderr.txt\\n$ echo \\\"exit=$? stderr=$(wc -c < /tmp/stderr.txt)b\\\"\\nexit=0 stderr=0b\\n\\n# magic-claude hooks — all exit 0 with 0 bytes stderr\\n$ echo '{\\\"tool_name\\\":\\\"Bash\\\",\\\"tool_input\\\":{\\\"command\\\":\\\"echo test\\\"},\\\"tool_response\\\":\\\"output\\\"}' | \\\\\\n  CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT=\\\"$PLUGIN_ROOT\\\" node \\\"$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/hooks/pr-url-logger.cjs\\\" 2>/tmp/stderr.txt\\n$ echo \\\"exit=$? stderr=$(wc -c < /tmp/stderr.txt)b\\\"\\nexit=0 stderr=0b\\n```\\n\\n### Timing verified (no timeout)\\n\\n```\\npretooluse.mjs:  ~34ms\\nposttooluse.mjs: ~29ms\\n```\\n\\n### stderr suppression verified\\n\\ncontext-mode hooks use an fd-level stderr suppression (`suppress-stderr.mjs`) that closes fd 2 and reopens it to `/dev/null` before any code runs. This prevents native C++ modules (like better-sqlite3) from writing to stderr. The suppression works correctly — verified with 0 bytes on stderr in all tests.\\n\\n## Expected Behavior\\n\\n- Exit 0 + valid JSON stdout + no stderr → **no error label** (or a success label like \\\"hook: PreToolUse → allow\\\")\\n- Exit 0 + no stdout + no stderr → **no label at all** (silent success)\\n- Exit 2 + stderr → \\\"hook error\\\" with stderr content shown\\n\\n## Actual Behavior\\n\\nAll hook executions show \\\"hook error\\\" regardless of exit code, stdout, or stderr content.\\n\\n## Impact — Severity: HIGH (functional, not cosmetic)\\n\\n| Plugin setup | Hooks per tool call | False \\\"hook error\\\" lines per tool call | Turn survival |\\n|---|---|---|---|\\n| No plugins | 0 | 0 | Normal |\\n| magic-claude only | ~2-4 | ~2-4 | Occasional premature stops |\\n| magic-claude + context-mode | ~4-8 | ~4-8 | **Frequent premature stops** |\\n\\nWith 50+ tool calls per session, this means **200-400 false \\\"hook error\\\" lines** injected into the model's context per session. The model treats these as real errors and progressively loses confidence, eventually refusing to continue multi-step tasks.\\n\\n**This effectively puts a ceiling on the number of plugins a user can install**, because each plugin's hooks multiply the false error signals that cause turn termination.\\n\\n## Related Issues\\n\\n- #10936 — Same bug, first reported\\n- #10463 — Same bug for Stop hooks\\n- #27886 — Same bug for PostToolUseFailure (closed as duplicate)\\n- #12671 — Same bug for SessionStart\\n- #17088 — Same bug for PreToolUse\\n\\nAll of these report the same root cause: Claude Code's hook status label logic doesn't properly distinguish success from failure.\\n\\n## Suggested Fix\\n\\nTwo things need to change:\\n\\n### 1. Fix the label logic\\n\\nBased on the [hooks documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks), the status label logic should be:\\n\\n```\\nif exit_code == 0:\\n    if stdout has valid JSON with hookSpecificOutput:\\n        label = \\\"hook: {event} → {decision}\\\"  # or no label\\n    else:\\n        label = none  # silent success\\nelif exit_code == 2:\\n    label = \\\"hook error: {stderr_content}\\\"\\nelse:\\n    label = \\\"hook warning\\\" (non-blocking, verbose only)\\n```\\n\\nCurrently it appears to unconditionally label everything as \\\"hook error\\\".\\n\\n### 2. Don't feed hook status labels into the model's context\\n\\nEven if the label display is fixed, hook execution metadata should **not** be injected into the model's conversation context. The model has no ability to act on hook errors — only the user or the hook itself can. Feeding \\\"hook error\\\" into the context just wastes tokens and confuses the model into thinking something failed.\\n\\nHook status should be:\\n- Visible to the **user** in the transcript (for debugging)\\n- **Invisible** to the model (not part of the conversation context)\\n\",\"comments\":[{\"id\":\"IC_kwDON91aY87yNfgB\",\"author\":{\"login\":\"github-actions\"},\"authorAssociation\":\"NONE\",\"body\":\"Found 3 possible duplicate issues:\\n\\n1. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/10936\\n2. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/17088\\n3. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/27886\\n\\nThis issue will be automatically closed as a duplicate in 3 days.\\n\\n- If your issue is a duplicate, please close it and 👍 the existing issue instead\\n- To prevent auto-closure, add a comment or 👎 this comment\\n\\n🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)\",\"createdAt\":\"2026-03-15T18:38:27Z\",\"includesCreatedEdit\":false,\"isMinimized\":false,\"minimizedReason\":\"\",\"reactionGroups\":[{\"content\":\"THUMBS_DOWN\",\"users\":{\"totalCount\":1}}],\"url\":\"https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34713#issuecomment-4063623169\",\"viewerDidAuthor\":false},{\"id\":\"IC_kwDON91aY87yN4hs\",\"author\":{\"login\":\"yurukusa\"},\"authorAssociation\":\"NONE\",\"body\":\"I can confirm this pattern exists and the behavioral impact is real.\\n\\nI run 10+ hooks across PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and UserPromptSubmit.

This issue documents a **functional impact** that none of the others cover:\\n\\n### What's new here\\n\\n1. **Premature turn termination** — The false \\\"hook error\\\" labels are fed into the model's context. The model interprets accumulated error signals as real failures and stops mid-task. This is confirmed by @yurukusa above who sees the model explicitly citing \\\"errors encountered\\\" in its stop reasoning.\\n\\n2. **Plugin ecosystem ceiling** — With 2+ hook-heavy plugins installed (magic-claude ~15 hooks + context-mode ~10 hooks), every tool call generates 4-8 false error lines. After 50+ tool calls, that's 200-400 false error tokens in context. This effectively caps how many plugins a user can install before sessions become unreliable.\\n\\n3. **Suggested fix: don't inject hook status into model context** — Even after fixing the label, hook execution metadata should not enter the conversation context. The model cannot act on hook errors — only the user or hook itself can. This suggestion is absent from all three linked issues.\\n\\n### Diagnostic data (per @yurukusa's request)\\n\\nWe tested extensively. All hooks: exit 0, valid JSON on stdout, 0 bytes on stderr (fd 2 redirected to /dev/null before any imports), complete in <40ms. The \\\"hook error\\\" label appears regardless. We could not identify what triggers it — it appears unconditional for all hook executions.\\n\\nI'd appreciate this being kept open or merged into #10936 with the functional impact and fix suggestion preserved.\",\"createdAt\":\"2026-03-15T19:35:00Z\",\"includesCreatedEdit\":false,\"isMinimized\":false,\"minimizedReason\":\"\",\"reactionGroups\":[],\"url\":\"https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34713#issuecomment-4063740343\",\"viewerDidAuthor\":false},{\"id\":\"IC_kwDON91aY87yQEFf\",\"author\":{\"login\":\"yurukusa\"},\"authorAssociation\":\"NONE\",\"body\":\"Agreed — the linked issues (#10936, #17088, #27886) cover the cosmetic label mislabeling, but the functional impact you've documented here is distinct: false error tokens accumulating in the model context and causing premature turn termination.\\n\\nYour diagnostic data is thorough — all hooks exit 0, valid JSON, <40ms, stderr redirected.

This means that hooks do have access to the conversation history through the transcript_path parameter.\n\nHowever, the key limitation is that hooks receive JSON data via stdin that provides session and event-specific information, such as session_id, transcript_path, tool_name, and tool_input, but the transcript_path itself is just a file path pointer—hooks must actively read and parse the JSONL file if they want to access the conversation history.\n\nHooks receive a transcript_path field pointing to a JSONL file containing the full session history. So while hooks can't directly \"see\" the conversation as context automatically passed to them, they can access it by reading the transcript file at the path provided.\n\nThe search results also reveal a known bug: When using /exit to close a session and then resuming with claude --continue, all hooks continue to receive the original session's session_id and transcript_path instead of the current session's values, causing hooks to read conversations from hours/days ago instead of the current conversation.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"3fd3d04b-81a2-46c7-ba3b-dc4121655796","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:41:12.363Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"52c20ee8-7fed-439b-83dc-364aab870e50","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

This allows you to inject guidance that encourages Claude to consider or use specific tools.\n\n3. **Instructions Through Blocking**: If a hook blocks, the AI receives an error message and adapts — typically by choosing a safer alternative. You can use this to steer Claude toward alternatives.\n\n4. **Agent-Level Hooks**: Agent hooks have a similar response format as prompt hooks, but the agent gets up to 50 tool-use turns to do its work.\n\n## Forcing Tool Execution in the API\n\n\"Tool\" forces Claude to always use a particular tool. This is the most direct way to compel tool use when working with the Claude API.\n\nThe search results don't show a direct \"never calls specific tool\" workaround in Claude Code itself, but using context injection or the `tool_choice: \"tool\"` parameter in the API are the primary mechanisms for compelling tool use.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"7a964420-e0ad-4ffc-bba3-615f23419c6a","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:41:44.906Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"0ec8771b-a1d5-44e8-9403-726334598f74","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

This appears to be an internal Claude Code function that is referenced but not defined.\n\nThe severity is low (cosmetic - work completes fine) and the frequency is 100% reproducible on every task completion.\n\n## Secondary Issues with SubagentStop\n\nThere are additional SubagentStop hook issues:\n\n1. **Prompt-based hooks don't prevent termination**: Prompt-based SubagentStop hooks correctly evaluate and send feedback to the subagent, but do not actually prevent the subagent from terminating.\n\n2. **Identification limitation**: When multiple subagents run within the same Claude Code session, the SubagentStop hook cannot determine which specific subagent has just completed, as the hook only receives the session ID without any subagent-specific identifier.\n\nThese appear to be active issues reported on the Claude Code GitHub repository as of January 2026.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"e4c61726-fe15-414b-83d4-ad459e7e26d3","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:41:56.809Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"b2455f4b-6562-427e-ac5d-32afd8110975","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

However, there's an important limitation: PostToolUse hooks cannot undo actions since the tool has already executed.\n\n## Injecting Context\n\nA key limitation exists regarding context injection with PostToolUse hooks. PostToolUse hooks can show messages to the user via systemMessage, but there's no way to inject content that Claude (the AI) can see in its context. This is a known limitation documented in Claude Code's issue tracker.\n\nFor context injection, UserPromptSubmit hooks use additionalContext instead to inject text into Claude's context. Additionally, UserPromptSubmit and SessionStart can inject text or structured additionalContext into the conversation before Claude proceeds.\n\n## Common PostToolUse Use Cases\n\nPostToolUse runs Prettier on any file Claude writes or edits, with the pipe syntax in the matcher triggering for both Write and Edit tools.\n\n## Additional Limitations\n\nPostToolUse hooks support additionalContext to inject information into Claude's context after a tool runs. However, PostToolUse only fires when a tool completes successfully - it doesn't run when commands fail.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"b238ade5-4a2f-4a64-a5ac-c0166d5d90b3","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:42:17.172Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"88ffbb7f-2da4-4dbc-a98b-5d9cbbf39d68","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

This is a core feature of how Claude Code hooks operate.\n\n## Race Condition Issue\n\nThere is a documented race condition issue related to Claude Code hooks and parallel instances. Claude Code hangs with 100% CPU usage when running multiple parallel instances with hooks enabled, with this regression being introduced somewhere between v2.1.22 and v2.1.23.\n\nChanges in v2.1.23 that \"Fixed race condition causing 400 errors with prompt caching scope\" might have introduced new race conditions.\n\n## PreToolUse Hooks\n\nThe PreToolUse hook event responds to hook events before a tool executes. When multiple hooks fire simultaneously, they do so in parallel by design, though this can create race conditions in certain scenarios like multiple parallel instances or subagents running tests that share resources.\n\n## Practical Implications for Parallel Execution\n\nWhen working with parallel subagents and shared resources, database locks, shared state, and race conditions can occur during parallel execution.

However, it's worth noting that Claude Code currently lacks programmatic access to session metadata (session ID and user-defined session names), and Claude Code does not expose CLAUDE_SESSION_ID or CLAUDE_SESSION_NAME to hook scripts or subprocesses in all contexts.\n\n## Input Fields Available to Hook Scripts\n\nWhen Claude runs a Bash command, a PreToolUse hook receives input including session_id, cwd (working directory), hook_event_name, tool_name, and tool_input. The specific fields vary by event type:\n\n- UserPromptSubmit hooks get the prompt text instead, SessionStart hooks get the source (startup, resume, clear, compact), and so on\n\n## Data Access Methods\n\nThe hook script receives the tool input JSON via stdin and outputs the modified JSON to stdout. The input is typically read as JSON from standard input and can be parsed by your hook script.\n\nAdditionally, with SessionStart hooks, you can persist environment variables across the entire session using CLAUDE_ENV_FILE.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"57d3f1e7-dd9a-4a08-a4eb-bae6eee7f702","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:45:23.607Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"4c8a2311-045a-4974-bd7a-30abc7826447","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

The ralph-loop plugin fails on Windows because its stop hook is a bash script (.sh) that cannot execute natively on Windows.\n\n**Hookify Plugin Issues:**\nThe hookify plugin's event: stop rules are incorrectly firing on every tool use (Read, Grep, Glob, etc.) instead of only firing when the main agent stops. Additionally, the hookify plugin blocks tool calls correctly but the detailed blocking message is only shown to the user, not passed to Claude, which prevents Claude from understanding why a tool was blocked and how to fix it.\n\n**Superpowers Plugin:**\nA plugin with a hook, like obra/superpowers, causes a VSCode to open and the plugin script does not run on Windows.\n\nThe search results show multiple issues across these three plugins related to hook execution, particularly on Windows systems and with event handling logic.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"66743036-565e-4f10-9c64-629fc7ff0529","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:45:38.592Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"914e02bf-2934-4877-afb0-a654aa91a11b","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

When the agent produces a text-only response with no tool calls, the SDK yields a final AssistantMessage with the text response, followed by a ResultMessage with the final text, token usage, cost, and session ID.\n\nRegarding the specific behavior you're asking about: A text-only response constitutes a turn in the agent loop, and turns continue until Claude produces output with no tool calls, at which point the loop ends and the final result is delivered.\n\nThe search results indicate that in the Claude Agent SDK, as the loop runs, the SDK yields a stream of messages, with each message carrying a type that tells you what stage of the loop it came from. However, the specific technical detail about tool call hooks and intercepting text-only responses isn't explicitly detailed in these results. If you need more specific information about SDK hooks for intercepting text-only responses when `stop_reason` is \"end_turn,\" you may want to consult the Claude Agent SDK documentation directly or check for any agent SDK-specific documentation on message interceptors and hooks.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"49668403-f004-4a6d-afc6-9885bfa64f7d","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:46:24.999Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"5195fddb-d9ea-43b2-a6eb-3bfb707deafe","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

More specifically, Notification hooks show stderr to user only with no blocking capability.\n\nThis differs from other hooks like Stop, where exit code 2 behavior blocks stoppage and shows an error to Claude (forcing continuation).\n\n## Matcher Values for Notification Hooks\n\nFor Notification hooks, the matcher filters on notification type, with example values including `permission_prompt`, `idle_prompt`, `auth_success`, and `elicitation_dialog`.\n\n## Use Cases\n\nNotification events fire when Claude generates a notification and are useful for routing alerts to Slack, desktop notifications, or logging systems.\n\nIn summary, Notification hooks are strictly for observability and custom alerting—they cannot block or control Claude Code's behavior like PreToolUse or Stop hooks can.\n\n\nREMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks."}]},"uuid":"6c6947d1-b171-41b1-972d-a62ed9aea13f","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:46:39.436Z","sourceToolAssistantUUID":"d7dd0e5c-4f4c-43fe-9cdd-20d37b9fe615","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}

Let me compile the complete findings.\n\n---\n\n# Complete List of Claude Code Hook Limitations (with Workarounds)\n\n## LIMITATION 1: Hooks Can Block Actions But Cannot Compel Them\n\n**The fundamental asymmetry.** Hooks are reactive gatekeepers, not proactive drivers. A PreToolUse hook fires only when the agent decides to call a tool. If the agent never calls the tool, the hook never fires. There is no hook event for \"agent decided NOT to call tool X.\"\n\n**What this means in practice:** You can prevent `git push --force` but you cannot force the agent to run `npm test` before committing. You can block a Write but you cannot compel a Read.\n\n**Workaround:** Use the Stop hook to check whether required actions were taken (by inspecting `transcript_path` for evidence of the required tool calls). If they were not, return `{\"decision\": \"block\", \"reason\": \"You must run X before completing\"}`. This turns \"compel\" into \"block stopping until you do it.\" However, see Limitation 3 -- the agent can still defeat this.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 2: The Agent Can Give Up (And Hooks Cannot Prevent It -- Reliably)\n\n**Yes, the agent can just... stop trying.** When a PreToolUse hook blocks a tool call via exit code 2, the block signal is fed back to the model as error feedback. The model interprets this conservatively and frequently stops its turn and waits for user input, rather than acting on the feedback.\n\n**Evidence:** GitHub issue [#24327](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24327) documents this thoroughly. Even when stderr includes explicit `<claude-directive>` tags saying \"Do NOT stop, do NOT end your turn,\" the model intermittently ignores them. The reporter notes: \"This behavior is intermittent -- sometimes Claude does act on the feedback correctly, but increasingly it stops.\"\n\n**Root cause:** The model cannot distinguish between \"user denied this action\" and \"automated hook blocked this action with fixable feedback.\" Both arrive as the same blocked-tool-call signal. The model's trained behavior treats blocked actions conservatively.\n\n**Additional root cause from [#34713](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34713):** Even successful hooks (exit 0, valid JSON, no stderr) are labeled \"hook error\" in the transcript. With 15+ hooks installed, every tool call generates 4-8 false \"hook error\" lines in the model's context. After 50+ tool calls, that is 200-400 false error tokens. The model interprets this accumulation as evidence that something is wrong and prematurely abandons its plan.\n\n**Workarounds:**\n- Keep hook block output concise (reduce stderr payload size).\n- Use a single dispatcher hook per matcher instead of multiple parallel hooks, to reduce \"hook error\" label noise (workaround from [#24327](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24327) author).\n- Use JSON decision output with `permissionDecisionReason` instead of exit code 2 + stderr, as it provides a cleaner signal.\n- Accept that this is inherently unreliable -- the model decides, and hooks provide signals, not commands.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 3: Stop Hooks CAN Create Infinite Loops\n\n**Yes.** If a Stop hook always returns `{\"decision\": \"block\"}`, Claude is blocked from stopping, tries again, gets blocked again, forever. Real-world proof: GitHub issue [#18646](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18646) shows ralph-loop running to **iteration 492+** before hitting \"Maximum call stack size exceeded.\" The user's API credits were consumed by an infinite stop-block loop.\n\n**The escape mechanisms:**\n\n1. **`stop_hook_active` field** -- The documented safety valve. When Claude was already blocked from stopping once, the next Stop event sets `stop_hook_active: true` in the JSON input. Your hook MUST check this and exit 0 (allow stop) when true:\n   ```python\n   if input_data.get('stop_hook_active', False):\n       sys.exit(0)  # Let it stop this time\n   ```\n   If you do not check this, you get an infinite loop. Claude Code does NOT enforce this for you.\n\n2. **`--max-turns` flag** -- A hard cap on tool-use turns. When hit, the SDK returns `error_max_turns` and terminates regardless of hooks. Use this as a safety net, not as primary control.\n\n3. **Ctrl+C / process kill** -- The user's last resort. The stop hook loop does not have a built-in circuit breaker beyond `stop_hook_active`. If your hook ignores that field, only the user killing the process stops it.\n\n4. **Context window exhaustion** -- Eventually the conversation fills the context window and compaction fires, or the session hits token budget limits. This is not a designed escape -- it is a crash.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 4: If the Agent Never Calls the Tool, the Hook Never Fires\n\n**Hooks are triggered by tool calls.** PreToolUse fires when the model emits a tool_use block. PostToolUse fires when the tool returns. If the model decides to respond with pure text (stop_reason: \"end_turn\") and never invokes any tool, zero hooks fire except Stop/Notification.\n\n**What this means:** An agent asked to \"write tests\" could respond with \"Here are the tests you should write: ...\" as plain text, never calling Write or Bash, and no PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook would fire. The Stop hook would fire at the end, but at that point the action was never attempted.\n\n**Workaround:** Use the Stop hook to inspect `transcript_path` and verify the agent actually called the expected tools. If it did not, block the stop with a reason explaining what it must do. Combine with `stop_hook_active` checking to prevent infinite loops.\n\n**No workaround for:** An agent that uses AskUserQuestion to tell the user \"the hooks are blocking me, please do it manually.\" There is no hook event that fires on AskUserQuestion that can prevent the agent from escalating to the user (see Limitation 6).\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 5: Hooks See Only the Current Event, Not Conversation History (Directly)\n\n**Hook stdin contains only the current event data:** `session_id`, `tool_name`, `tool_input`, `cwd`, `hook_event_name`, and `transcript_path`. It does NOT contain conversation history, previous tool calls, or the system prompt.\n\n**However**, `transcript_path` points to a JSONL file containing the full session transcript. A hook CAN read this file to access the complete conversation history. This means hooks technically have full history access, but:\n\n- The hook must parse a potentially large JSONL file on every invocation.\n- The transcript may be stale or from a different session (bug [#9188](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/9188): after `/exit` + `--continue`, hooks receive the OLD session's `transcript_path`).\n- Reading the transcript adds latency to every hook invocation.\n- The transcript format is undocumented/unstable and may change between versions.\n\n**What hooks definitely cannot see:**\n- The system prompt / CLAUDE.md contents (unless they parse it from disk themselves).\n- The model's internal chain-of-thought or reasoning.\n- Other hooks' outputs from the same event (hooks run in parallel).\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 6: AskUserQuestion as an Escape Hatch\n\n**The agent CAN use AskUserQuestion to tell the user \"the hooks are blocking me.\"** There is no reliable way to prevent this.\n\n**Known issues with AskUserQuestion + hooks:**\n- Issue [#12031](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12031): When ANY PreToolUse hook is active, AskUserQuestion strips the user's answer data from the response. Claude receives \"User has answered your questions: .\" instead of the actual answer. **Fixed in v2.0.76**, but the fact that this was broken for months shows the fragility of the interaction.\n- Issue [#12605](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12605) / [#28273](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/28273): Feature requests for a hook event that fires when Claude asks the user a question. **Neither implemented.** There is no way to intercept or prevent AskUserQuestion.\n- Issue [#13024](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/13024): Feature request for a hook that fires when Claude is waiting for user input. **Not implemented.**\n\n**Bottom line:** The agent can always escalate to the user. Hooks cannot close this escape path. If you block every Write, Edit, and Bash, the agent will use AskUserQuestion to say \"I am unable to proceed because hooks are blocking my actions. Please do X manually.\"\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 7: PostToolUse Hooks Cannot Inject Context Visible to Claude\n\n**Issue [#18427](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18427):** PostToolUse hooks can display messages to the user via `systemMessage`, but there is no mechanism to inject content into Claude's conversation context after a tool runs. The `additionalContext` field does not work for PostToolUse. Neither does `modifyResult`, stderr, stdout with `<system-reminder>` tags, or `hookSpecificOutput`.\n\n**Only PreToolUse and UserPromptSubmit hooks can inject `additionalContext` into Claude's visible context.** PostToolUse hooks are effectively user-facing only, or side-effect-only (logging, formatting).\n\n**Workaround for Bash only:** Use PreToolUse with `updatedInput` to append `&& echo '<system-reminder>...</system-reminder>'` to the command. The reminder appears in command output, which Claude can see. Does not work for Edit/Write.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 8: SubagentStop Hooks Are Broken\n\n**Issue [#20221](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/20221):** Prompt-based SubagentStop hooks correctly evaluate and send feedback to the subagent, but **do not actually prevent the subagent from terminating.** The subagent receives the feedback as a user message with `isMeta: true` but never gets another turn to respond. The session terminates anyway.\n\n**Issue [#22087](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22087):** SubagentStop hooks crash with \"classifyHandoffIfNeeded is not defined\" -- an internal function that is referenced but not defined.\n\n**Issue [#7881](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/7881):** SubagentStop hooks cannot identify WHICH subagent finished, because all subagents share the same session ID.\n\n**Workaround:** None for preventing subagent termination. The feature is documented but functionally broken as of March 2026.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 9: Plugin-Installed Hooks Behave Differently from User-Installed Hooks\n\n**Issue [#10412](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/10412):** Stop hooks that use exit code 2 work correctly when installed in `~/.claude/hooks/` but fail when installed via the plugin system. The plugin execution path does not properly parse stderr JSON or extract the `reason` field.\n\n**Workaround:** Move critical hooks from plugin directories to `~/.claude/hooks/`. This defeats the purpose of the plugin system but is the only reliable path.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 10: Exit Code 2 Does Not Block Write/Edit Operations (Historical Bug)\n\n**Issue [#13744](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/13744):** PreToolUse hooks with exit code 2 properly block Bash operations but do NOT block Write or Edit operations. The hook runs, finds violations, returns exit 2, but the file is still created/modified.\n\n**Workaround:** Use PostToolUse hooks to detect and revert violations after the fact. Or use JSON decision output (`{\"decision\": \"block\", \"reason\": \"...\"}`) instead of exit code 2, which may have different internal handling. This was linked to issue #3514 and may have been fixed in later versions.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 11: Parallel Hook Race Conditions\n\n**All matching hooks run in parallel.** When multiple PreToolUse hooks are registered for the same matcher, they fire simultaneously. This causes:\n\n- Issue [#22172](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22172): 100% CPU hang with multiple parallel instances + hooks (regression in v2.1.23).\n- Issue [#24327](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24327): Race condition when parallel hooks fire simultaneously, causing the model to receive garbled or conflicting block signals.\n\n**Workaround:** Use a single dispatcher hook per matcher that runs all checks sequentially as subprocesses and returns a merged result. This eliminates the race condition by ensuring only 1 hook is registered per matcher.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 12: \"Hook Error\" Label Is a Lie (and It Poisons the Model)\n\n**Issue [#34713](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34713):** Claude Code displays \"hook error\" for ALL hook executions, including those that exit 0 with valid JSON and zero stderr. This is not cosmetic -- the false error labels are injected into the model's conversation context. The model sees hundreds of \"error\" signals per session and progressively loses confidence, abandoning multi-step tasks.\n\n**No fix available.** As of March 2026, there is no exit code or JSON field that produces a \"success\" label. All hook executions are labeled as errors. Feature request for exit code 3 (\"informational result\") has been raised but not implemented.\n\n---\n\n## LIMITATION 13: Hooks Cannot Modify Tool Input Reliably Across All Tools\n\nPreToolUse hooks can return `updatedInput` to modify the tool's input before execution. This works for Bash (you can rewrite the command). However, for Write/Edit/Read tools, the ability to modify input is more constrained, and the behavior of `updatedInput` with file-writing tools is less documented and tested.\n\n---\n\n## Summary Table\n\n| Question | Answer |\n|----------|--------|\n| Can the agent just stop trying? | **Yes.** It interprets hook blocks as \"something is wrong\" and ends its turn. Intermittent, not preventable. |\n| If PreToolUse blocks every write, does it tell the user \"I can't do anything\"? | **Yes.** After enough blocks, the model will stop trying and tell the user the hooks are preventing it, or use AskUserQuestion. |\n| Can Stop hooks create infinite loops? | **Yes.** If you do not check `stop_hook_active`, the loop runs forever until process kill or stack overflow. |\n| What if the agent never calls the hooked tool? | **The hook never fires.** The agent can respond with text only and no PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks execute. |\n| Can hooks see conversation history? | **Indirectly.** Via `transcript_path` JSONL file, but must parse it manually. Not via stdin. |\n| Can the agent use AskUserQuestion to bypass hooks? | **Yes.** There is no hook event for AskUserQuestion. The agent can always escalate to the user. |\n\nSources:\n- [Hooks reference - Claude Code Docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks)\n- [#10205 - Infinite loop with hooks](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/10205)\n- [#13744 - Exit code 2 doesn't block Write/Edit](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/13744)\n- [#12031 - PreToolUse hooks strip AskUserQuestion data](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12031)\n- [#34600 - Stop hook \"error\" label misleading](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34600)\n- [#10412 - Plugin Stop hooks fail](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/10412)\n- [#20221 - SubagentStop hooks broken](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/20221)\n- [#24327 - Exit code 2 causes Claude to stop](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24327)\n- [#34713 - False \"Hook Error\" labels cause premature turn termination](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/34713)\n- [#18646 - ralph-loop infinite loop (492+ iterations)](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18646)\n- [#18427 - PostToolUse cannot inject context visible to Claude](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18427)\n- [#22172 - 100% CPU hang with parallel hooks](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22172)\n- [#9188 - Stale transcript_path after session resume](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/9188)\n- [#12605 - Feature request: AskUserQuestion hook](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12605)\n- [#13962 - Hookify stop rules fire on all tool uses](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/13962)\n- [#12446 - Hookify missing permissionDecisionReason](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12446)\n- [Claude Code Stop Hook: Force Task Completion](https://claudefa.st/blog/tools/hooks/stop-hook-task-enforcement)\n- [5 Claude Code Hook Mistakes That Silently Break Your Safety Net](https://dev.to/yurukusa/5-claude-code-hook-mistakes-that-silently-break-your-safety-net-58l3)\n- [How the agent loop works - Claude API Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/agent-loop)"}],"stop_reason":"end_turn","stop_sequence":null,"usage":{"input_tokens":1,"cache_creation_input_tokens":770,"cache_read_input_tokens":59875,"output_tokens":4338,"server_tool_use":{"web_search_requests":0,"web_fetch_requests":0},"service_tier":"standard","cache_creation":{"ephemeral_1h_input_tokens":0,"ephemeral_5m_input_tokens":770},"inference_geo":"","iterations":[],"speed":"standard"}},"requestId":"req_011CZESCQJXr1yp5gMZYke3k","type":"assistant","uuid":"20dff33e-2c19-4b52-83d7-640109244396","timestamp":"2026-03-20T13:48:28.376Z","userType":"external","entrypoint":"cli","cwd":"/Users/mohamedabdallah/Work/Wazir","sessionId":"0c5a9bfa-6816-42b1-a97d-37ae7dad26c5","version":"2.1.80","gitBranch":"feat/remaining-6-fixes","slug":"mighty-wondering-giraffe"}
