  ## Changelog

607
+ ### v1.2.1 — Stop Hook Hotfix (2026-03-27)
608
+ - **Fix**: v1.2.0 deleted the flag on approve, causing infinite block loops if session didn't close immediately
609
+ - **Fix**: Removed TTL on flag — it persists until SessionStart cleans it up next session
610
+ - **New**: Trivial sessions (<5 meaningful tool calls) skip post-mortem entirely and approve immediately
611
+ - SessionStart hook now cleans up `.postmortem-complete` flag on session start
612
+
607
613
  ### v1.2.0 — Blocking Stop Hook (2026-03-27)
608
614
  - **Fix**: Stop hook now uses `"decision": "block"` instead of `"approve"` to enforce post-mortem execution
609
615
  - Previous behavior: hook injected `systemMessage` but AI had already responded — instructions were never processed
