+/**
+ * REG-01 — register MindForge's hooks so an install can actually block a tool call.
+ *
+ * THE DEFECT. Measured on six real confined installs: 0 of 6 harnesses write any settings.json, and
+ * grepping bin/install.js and bin/installer-core.js for settings.json, PreToolUse or hookDispatcher
+ * returns 0 for both files. 11 hook scripts DO land, and driven by hand they work — config-protection
+ * returns exit 2 ("BLOCKED: Modifying eslint.config.mjs"), block-no-verify returns exit 2. The
+ * enforcement code ships and is orphaned. This module is the missing wiring.
+ *
+ * SCOPE, deliberately narrow and honestly labelled: runtime === 'claude', scope === 'local',
+ * non-Windows. Every other harness gets status 'skipped' with a printed reason and registered:false.
+ * Writing a Claude-schema file into .cursor/ or .gemini/ without an execution-verified hook contract
+ * would be decorative config that makes a harness look wired — the same failure this design refuses
+ * for Copilot, which has no PreToolUse surface at all. Enforcement after REG-01 is 1 of 6, true,
+ * replacing 6 of 6 implied and 0 of 6 real.
+ *
+ * FIVE DECISIONS THAT CAME FROM MEASUREMENT, via an adversarial design review that found 14 fatal and
+ * 56 serious holes across three candidate designs:
+ *
+ * 1. HOOK_ROOT is '.claude/hooks' — the tree the installer ALREADY populates (installer-core.js:603).
+ *    A candidate install contains no .agent/ and no .agents/ at all, so the antigravity root-hijack
+ *    hole (resolveBaseDir treats a bare .agent/ as a legacy install) is structurally unreachable
+ *    rather than merely mitigated. Nothing under bin/ is referenced either, so the gitignored-bin
+ *    brick is unreachable too.
+ *
+ * 2. Commands are anchored with "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/..." and NO ${VAR:-.} fallback. Claude Code has
+ *    set CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR in the hook environment since 1.0.57. A reviewer built the attack a
+ *    `:-.` fallback enables: plant a permissive run-with-flags.js stub in a hostile cwd, unset the
+ *    variable, and the fallback EXECUTES the stub and returns ALLOW. With no fallback the path
+ *    resolves to /.claude/hooks/... and exits 1. The "defensive" default was the vulnerability.
+ *
+ * 3. No fail-closed shell tail (`|| exit 2`). All three review lenses independently measured a tail
+ *    denying a benign `ls` on a teammate's fresh clone, on gitignored deps, and when node is off the
+ *    hook PATH. We take the BOUNDED residual — variable unset or node missing yields exit 1 and a
+ *    permit, i.e. exactly today's behaviour — over an unbounded lockout, and say so in the receipt
+ *    rather than claiming coverage we do not have.
+ *
+ * 4. Merge, never refuse. A pre-seeded project (model + permissions.allow + the user's own PreToolUse
+ *    Bash hook + a Stop hook) merges append-only with every user leaf byte-preserved, idempotent to
+ *    the byte on re-run, atomic tmp+rename, backup at .mindforge/backups/ mode 0600. Refusing to
+ *    merge would deliver 0 of 8 gates to precisely the population most likely to install a security
+ *    framework.
+ *
+ * 5. All three deny-class ids carry the 'minimal' profile. Measured: with the tracked file's
+ *    'standard,strict', MINDFORGE_HOOK_PROFILE=minimal returns exit 0 with the payload echoed.
+ *
+ * HOW THE TWO PATHS IN EACH COMMAND RESOLVE, which is where the plugin channel previously broke by
+ * rewriting only the first:
+ *   - The dispatcher argument, "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/run-with-flags.js", is absolute at
+ *     runtime.
+ *   - The 2nd positional argument is NOT resolved against cwd. run-with-flags.js:264 does
+ *     path.resolve(hookRoot, relScriptPath) with hookRoot = path.resolve(__dirname,'..','..'), which
+ *     for the installed dispatcher at <project>/.claude/hooks/ is exactly <project>. So it is
+ *     project-relative and cwd-independent. It must ALSO stay inside hookRoot or :269 rejects it —
+ *     which is why an absolute 2nd argument is not merely unnecessary but actively fatal: built from
+ *     process.cwd() it is not realpath'd, so any symlinked ancestor mismatches and every deny-class
+ *     hook returns exit 2 on every Write/Edit/Bash. A bricked harness, worse than no config.
+ * Both are derived from HOOK_ROOT by commandFor(). No regex ever touches a rendered command.

+ * An ancestor project whose OWN .claude/settings.json a harness launched there would read instead of
+ * ours. Advisory only — see the three corrections below. Returns the directory, or null.
+ *
+ * THIS USED TO SKIP REGISTRATION ENTIRELY, and the reason it printed was wrong in three ways:
+ *
+ *   "the harness will read <ancestor>/.claude/settings.json, not this directory"
+ *
+ * 1. IT TRIPPED ON $HOME, so it tripped for essentially every project. ~/.claude/settings.json is the
+ *    USER TIER: Claude Code applies it to every session IN ADDITION TO the project tier, not instead
+ *    of it. Its existence says nothing about whether a project file is read. Measured on the author's
+ *    machine: the user-tier hooks fire on every Bash call while a project settings.json sits below
+ *    them. So the condition that suppressed the gates was satisfied by the normal state of a laptop.
+ *
+ * 2. FOR A REAL PROJECT ANCESTOR THE CLAIM IS ALSO FALSE — the ancestor's file is not read either.
+ *    Measured with a natural experiment: an ancestor two levels up carried a PreToolUse Bash hook
+ *    appending a marker to a log file. Across a dozen Bash calls with the inner directory as the
+ *    project root, that log was never even created. Claude Code reads the project tier from the
+ *    directory it treats as the project root; it does not walk up for settings. So skipping did not
+ *    deliver the gates "over there", it delivered them nowhere.
+ *
+ * 3. THE GIT-BOUNDARY GUARD WAS DEAD CODE. `stop` was the git toplevel, but the walk started at
+ *    path.dirname(projectRoot) — so when toplevel === projectRoot (the normal case) `dir === stop`
+ *    could never be true and the walk ran to the filesystem root every time. The boundary that was
+ *    supposed to keep this local is why it reached $HOME.
+ *
+ * So: WARN, NEVER SKIP. A registration that turns out to be inert costs nothing and becomes live the
+ * moment the harness is launched here; a skip is guaranteed inert. Two narrowings keep the warning
+ * meaningful rather than universal: $HOME is excluded because it is a tier and not a shadow, and an
+ * actual settings.json FILE must exist — the old check accepted any directory named .claude, of which
+ * a docs folder is a perfectly ordinary example.
+ *
+ * The git boundary is deliberately not repaired, just removed: a git toplevel ABOVE projectRoot means
+ * this project is nested inside another repo, which is exactly the case worth warning about, so
+ * stopping the walk there would suppress the one signal this function exists to produce.
