+# Claude Code PreToolUse (PowerShell) — Crewforth's own scripts run through the Bash tool, never PowerShell.
+#
+# The skills, the agents and the hooks' own messages tell the model to run `bash .claude/hooks/<x>.sh` or
+# `bash .claude/eval/<x>.sh`. On Windows the model sometimes sends that line through the PowerShell tool, and there
+# `bash` can resolve to WSL's bash.exe: the script runs in another filesystem and fails, or runs against nothing.
+# Measured in a field session: six PowerShell attempts at Crewforth's scripts, every one an error from WSL, while the
+# same commands through the Bash tool (Git Bash) exit 0. This hook stops that one call and names the right tool, so
+# the next attempt is the one that works.
+#
+# SCOPE, and nothing else: a word-boundary `bash` or `bash.exe` (a quoted full path included), optional flags, then
+# a path whose folder is `.claude/hooks/` or `.claude/eval/` — relative, `./`, quoted or with an absolute prefix,
+# with either slash. In the plugin edition the plugin root stands where `.claude` stands. Every other PowerShell
+# command passes untouched: reading a hook file, `Test-Path` on it, `git config core.hooksPath`, `bash build.sh`.
+# It is a redirect, not a security gate — the §4 rules for PowerShell live in guard-bash.sh, wired on the same tool —
+# so a payload it cannot read is let through rather than refused.
+#
+# Wired ONLY on the PowerShell matcher (both editions; smoke pins it). On `Bash` it would block the very commands it
+# points to.
+set -uo pipefail
+# Read with the builtin: `INPUT="$(cat)"` is a subshell plus a process on EVERY PowerShell call, and on Git Bash a
+# process costs 62-135 ms. With this, a command that cannot match (no `bash` in the payload) opens no process at all
+# (measured with the xtrace counter: `cat` 1 -> 0). `read` returns 1 at end of input; the text is read regardless.

+  # Every "step past X" here is arithmetic on a length, never `${s#"$literal"}`. That shape reads like a
+  # constant-time strip and is not one: bash retries the pattern at every prefix length, so stripping an
+  # n-byte literal costs O(n^2). It was in this function twice, and both were measured:
+  #   * `${1#*"$2"}` found the key -- cheap when the key sits near the front, quadratic in the distance to it
+  #     otherwise. `permission_mode` behind a 100 KB command took 7.94s on Git Bash, 0.27s in front of it.
+  #     Captured from Claude Code 2.1.267, the real order puts `permission_mode` BEFORE `tool_input`, so on
+  #     that version this cost was not reachable -- this file's header had shown the opposite order, and was
+  #     wrong. The parse stays order-independent regardless: the order is not a documented contract, and the
+  #     payload is still moving (`effort` is absent from the field list recorded on 2.1.246).
+  #   * `${tail#"$seg"\"}` stepped past each escaped quote: 16.8s for a single 100 KB step on Git Bash,
+  #     against 0.002s for `${tail:${#seg}+1}` doing exactly the same thing.
+  # `${hay%%"$k"*}` finds the FIRST occurrence -- the longest suffix that starts with the key starts at the
+  # earliest one. THAT ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH, and the sentence that used to stand here said it was: it claimed a
+  # command "containing the literal text `\"command\":\"` still cannot relocate the parse", which is true of
+  # that byte sequence and irrelevant, because this search is for `"command"` WITHOUT the colon. A JSON VALUE
+  # equal to the key name is exactly those bytes between two unescaped quotes. Measured on the shipped hook:
+  #   {"tool_name":"Bash","a":"command","ls":1,"tool_input":{"command":"rm -rf /"}}   ->  read `ls`
+  #   {"a":"permission_mode","default":1,"permission_mode":"bypassPermissions",…}     ->  read `default`
+  #   {"a":"file_path","/tmp/ok":1,"tool_input":{"file_path":".claude/hooks/x.sh"}}   ->  read `/tmp/ok`
+  # In each case the gate judged a harmless string while a dangerous one was the actual argument, and jq read
+  # the real value -- so on a stock Windows desktop, where this was already the only parser, the gate could be
+  # aimed with one extra key. The loop below therefore accepts an occurrence only when optional JSON whitespace
+  # and then `:` follow it, which is the only place a key can appear; everything else keeps searching.
+  # Stepping by length removed the quadratic strip, but each escaped quote still sliced and re-assigned the
+  # whole remainder, so an escape-dense command stayed k*n here as well (2.2s of the 6.8s described in
+  # _json_unescape below, on Git Bash). The walk is chunked the same way: the payload is read 4096 bytes at a
+  # time and every per-quote operation stays inside the chunk. One thing is carried across edges on purpose
+  # -- the length of the backslash run in front of a quote -- because that run can straddle a window or a
+  # chunk, and its parity is what decides whether the quote ends the value. Isolated, escape-dense 44030 B:
+  # 2.61s -> 0.41s on Git Bash 5.3.15, 0.93s -> 0.09s on macOS/bash 3.2.
+  # Output is byte-identical to the previous shape across 378 cases at four chunk/window sizes down to 7 and 1
+  # bytes, and that shape to the one before it across a 27-case battery (escaped quotes, backslash runs before
+  # a quote, the key twice, the key appearing first as a value, glob metacharacters, UTF-8, no closing quote,
+  # empty input). Broken twins -- the run not carried across a window, a byte skipped after a quote -- prove
+  # the battery sees both.
+  # THE NUMBER OF PASSES IS CAPPED, for the same reason guard-write caps the path length: an unbounded cost on
+  # a PreToolUse hook is a gate with an off switch, because a hook killed at its 60s timeout emits no exit 2.
+  # Each decoy costs one more `%%` scan over the remainder, so the work is quadratic in the number of decoys.
+  # Measured on macOS/bash, single call, `"k<i>":"command"` decoys in front of the real key:
+  #      50 decoys    844 B    12 ms        800 decoys   13544 B    126 ms
+  #     200 decoys   3344 B    19 ms       3200 decoys   56544 B   1839 ms
+  # Git Bash's parameter expansion is several times slower again, so the tail is where the timeout lives. A
+  # real payload carries ZERO decoys -- 64 is far above anything a producer can legitimately emit -- and going
+  # over the cap is reported SEPARATELY (`_KC_CAPPED`), not as a large count, so the caller can refuse with a
+  # reason the reader can act on instead of a sentinel dressed up as a measurement. Fail-closed either way.
+  # THE COST IS ONE THIS CHANGE INTRODUCES, and it is worth saying so plainly rather than implying the cap
+  # protects something pre-existing: before the colon requirement the scan STOPPED at the first occurrence, so
+  # decoys cost essentially nothing (measured on stock Windows: 0 decoys 0.18 ms, 3200 decoys 1.60 ms per call,
+  # roughly linear) -- and it read the decoy, which is the hole. The cap is load-bearing for the new cost, so
+  # raising or removing it later is not a tidy-up.
+  # The bound is on the LOOP, not on the payload, so an ordinary command pays nothing: the same 56572 B flood
+  # is refused in 93-94 ms with jq/python3 present and 168-169 ms on the slice path this paragraph is about,

+  #     -- verified on bash 3.2 and on Git Bash 5.3.15, not assumed.
+  #
+  # Then the cost moved rather than went away. With the per-character walk gone, each escape still sliced the

+  # command with 2755 escapes took 6.8s, 11% of the timeout. The input is now touched only a chunk at a time
+  # (`${s:base:C}`, once per 4096 bytes) and every per-escape operation stays inside that chunk, so no escape
+  # pays for the length of the whole command. That is the change that matters: bounding only the lookahead,
+  # while still indexing the full string, was measured too and gave about 4x on both machines, against 6-12x
+  # for the chunked walk. Five bytes are held back at a chunk's end whenever more input follows, so a
+  # `\uXXXX` that starts in a chunk ends in it.
+  # The output goes into an array joined once, not a string recopied at every append, and `\n`/`\t` are

+# user's own — and except Claude Code's plugin store (`.claude/plugins/`). So a script a later version adds anywhere is
+# covered the day it ships.
+#
+# WHERE `bash` COUNTS: only in command position — the start of a statement (`;` `|` `&` `(` `{` or a newline before
+# it), or right after a launcher (`wsl`, `cmd /c`, `Start-Process`, `iex`/`Invoke-Expression`, `pwsh -Command`,
+# `bash -c`), optionally as a path to bash.exe. As a search term (`Select-String -Pattern bash -Path …`, `rg bash …`)
+# or inside message text (`Write-Output "run bash …"`, a commit message) it is not an invocation and passes.
+#
+# NO WHOLE-COMMAND REWRITE: folding every backslash with ${CMD//\\//} is quadratic on bash 3.2 (a 60 KB command took
+# 65 s, past the hook timeout); the pattern takes either slash instead, and only the short plugin root is folded.
