Tianyi Cui 0b97b2f7c1 restore hook/result durationMs — review keeps wall-clock audit timing durable
Reverses item 3 of the tighten-hook-protocol-contract RFC per review:
a persistence log is written for future readers, and hook wall-clock
runtime is audit signal (which hook made a turn slow). runHook keeps
its injected now clock and RunHookResult wrapper, the bridges pass the
measured duration through HookResultRecord, the snapshot normalizer
keeps its replay scrub, and the hook fixtures carry the field again.
The RFC records the reversal; the other three prunes stand.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-hooks-codex

A cordis plugin that runs a user's existing Codex hooks.json on the harness's canonical interception seams. The Codex dialect half of the hooks subsystem. The dialect-agnostic primitives come from @deepseek-ai/dsh-hook-protocol; this bridge owns the Codex-specific payloads, matcher mode, and decision mapping.

Codex's hook protocol is a deliberate subset of Claude Code's (same hooks.json shape):

  • Five hook points only: PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, Stop — no subagent / notification / compaction hooks.
  • Regex-only matchers (no literal fast path; the matcher is always an unanchored regex).
  • snake_case stdin payloads with turn_id/model extras, written without a trailing newline.
  • No env vars and no command substitution (a literal ${…} in a command survives verbatim).
  • A block-only decision modelallow/ask are not honored; a hook can only block, never pre-approve.

A native cordis plugin could do everything this bridge does, more powerfully; the bridge exists only to run UNMODIFIED external Codex hooks faithfully (see the interception-seams RFC).

Config

import type { Config } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-hooks-codex'
const config: Config = {
  configPath: '/path/to/.codex/hooks.json', // required
  model: 'deepseek-v4',                      // optional: stamped on every payload (Codex includes `model`)
  defaultTimeoutMs: 600_000,                 // optional: per-hook timeout when a hook sets none
  stderrSummaryMaxChars: 500,                // optional: char cap on the hook/result event's persisted stderr summary
}

In a cordis.yml:

- dsh-hooks-codex:
    configPath: ./.codex/hooks.json
    model: deepseek-v4

The config is parsed once at load. configPath is process-level — a relative path resolves against the process launch cwd at load time, not per-session (TODO(per-session-hook-config)). A read/parse failure is contained (logs + registers nothing). Only sync type: 'command' hooks run — a non-command or async: true hook is parsed-and-skipped with a warning. A hook accepts timeout or the timeoutSec alias; one that sets neither runs under the protocol's reference default (DEFAULT_HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS from dsh-hook-protocol, 10 minutes). Events outside the five Codex points are dropped at parse.

The hooks themselves run in the agent's session workspace: for the agent-scoped points the bridge passes the session's cwd as the hook process's working directory, so a hook operates in the user's project tree, not the server launch dir.

Hook points → seam Decisions

Codex hook Harness seam Mapping
SessionStart agent/session-start (emit) a plain-stdout hook's output → additionalContext → agent.inject()
UserPromptSubmit agent/prompt-submit (waterfall) block (exit 2) → PromptDecision.block; additionalContext-only → delegate via next() then fold context onto the downstream decision
PreToolUse tools/pre-execute (waterfall) blockPreToolDecision.deny (no allow/ask)
PostToolUse tools/post-execute (waterfall) blockblock with feedback; additionalContext-only → delegate via next() then fold context onto the downstream decision
Stop agent/turn-continuation (waterfall) a blocking Stop hook forces continue with the reason as next-step steering

A tool call's payload carries the real tool_name (the same value the matcher tests) and Codex's tool_input: { command } shape (the command arg when present, else ''). The matcher subject is the tool name (PreToolUse/PostToolUse) or the session source (SessionStart); UserPromptSubmit/Stop ignore matchers.

Context source

Injected context carries an explicit { kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'hooks-codex' } source (agent.inject() would otherwise default it to { kind: 'user' }).

Deferred

Stop loop-guard (TODO(stop-loop-guard)): as in CC, a Stop hook that unconditionally blocks would force-continue every step (stop_hook_active is always false here); the loop-guard is deferred. A hook author must self-limit until it lands.

systemMessage: a hook's user-facing warning is logged + warned, not surfaced — there is no user-message channel on these seams yet (only model-facing additionalContext).
