Tianyi Cui cd49670f4e refactor(hooks): tighten the hook-protocol contract surface
Implement the tighten-hook-protocol-contract RFC (moved to implemented/):

- HookDialect narrows to 'claude' | 'codex': the 'native' variant had zero
  producers (native plugins on the seams write no hook/* provenance), and the
  dialect is defined as the bridge that ran the hook.
- HookOutput.suppressOutput is gone: the codec parsed it and every path
  discarded it with no warn and no deferral — hook stdout never enters a
  transcript, so there is nothing to suppress.
- hook/result.durationMs is gone: durable timing telemetry with no reader
  that the snapshot normalizer had to scrub as replay noise. With no duration
  to measure, runHook loses its injected now clock and the single-field
  RunHookResult wrapper — it returns the HookOutput directly. The committed
  hook fixtures had the field stripped mechanically (field-only diff); the
  stdout goldens never carried it.
- The bridges' double-defaulted defaultTimeoutMs config knob is replaced by
  one reference-default constant, DEFAULT_HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS, exported from the
  lib's runner and applied inside runHook; per-hook timeoutSec stays the
  override surface.
- The hook/result semantics move into the lib that declares the event:
  HookResultRecord now carries the decoded HookOutput and appendHookResult
  derives the decision string (decision ?? stop-on-continue:false ?? pass)
  and the 500-char stderrSummary truncation; both bridges delete their
  byte-identical private copies. The snapshot suite passes against the
  existing goldens, proving the derived values are unchanged.
- Rider: BLOCKING_EXIT_CODE is codec-internal again (zero importers).

Amend the hook-protocol-lib and hook-snapshot-matrix RFCs to the new facts,
update the lib/bridge READMEs and the session.md event tables, and retarget
the affected unit tests (including new lib-level coverage of the derivation
rules).

@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`)
}

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).
