Codex's PR-E review found three protocol-fidelity blockers + two doc gaps, all
verified against ~/repos/refs:
- (A) Top-level `decision` accepted allow/deny/ask, but both reference schemas
reserve those for hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecision — the legacy top-level
decision is approve/block ONLY. Split topLevelDecisionOf (approve/block) from
permissionDecisionOf (allow/deny/ask), so an out-of-band {"decision":"deny"} is
now invalid and ignored instead of becoming a real blocking decision.
- (A) hookSpecificOutput was parsed without its hookEventName discriminator.
HookOutput now surfaces hookEventName so a bridge can discard a block whose
claimed event doesn't match the firing one (the schemas key the block by event).
- (A) runHook discarded raw stdout. HookOutput now carries `stdout` (trimmed,
verbatim) so a bridge can reproduce CC's plain-stdout rendering / Codex's
plain-stdout-as-additionalContext behavior.
- (B) hook/* SessionEventMap variants were only named in prose; added a payload/role
table to core-data-structures/session.md (a maintained catalog surface).
- (B) Removed PR-stack-position references (PR-F / "future bridge packages") from a
test comment and the RFC, per the current-state-wording rule.
New codec tests: top-level allow/deny/ask invalid+ignored, hookEventName capture,
raw stdout preserved on plain + JSON + empty stdout. 51 tests, per-file 100%.
hooks/ — hook bridges + shared protocol
The hooks subsystem lets users extend the agent at lifecycle points the way Claude Code and Codex do — by pointing a bridge plugin at an existing hooks.json (or settings) so those external shell hooks run faithfully. The canonical extension surface itself is the harness's typed interception seams (the interception-seams RFC); a "native hook" is just an ordinary cordis plugin on those seams. These packages are the bridges that translate the external shell-hook protocol onto that same surface, plus the shared wire-protocol library they build on.
| Package | Role | Shape |
|---|---|---|
hook-protocol/ |
Shared wire-protocol core: matcher primitive, exit-code/stdout codec, runHook (via ctx.bash), most-restrictive merge, hook/* session events |
library (no plugin) |
hooks-claude/ |
Bridge for a Claude Code hooks.json / settings |
plugin |
hooks-codex/ |
Bridge for a Codex hooks.json |
plugin |
Codex deliberately reimplements a subset of the Claude Code protocol (same hooks.json shape, 5 events vs CC's many, command-only, regex-only matcher, no env/substitution), so hook-protocol owns the genuinely-identical primitives and each bridge owns only what differs (its per-event stdin payload, env, and the mapping of a hook's neutral outcome onto the harness's typed Decisions).
