c4d9887f9a [hooks] add non-streaming (non-stdin style) shell-only PostToolUse support (#15531)
CHAINED PR - note that base is eternal/hooks-pretooluse-bash, not main
-- so the following PR should be first

Matching post-tool hook to the pre-tool functionality here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15211

So, PreToolUse calls for plain shell calls, allows blocking. This
PostToolUse call runs after the command executed

example run:

```
› as a test, run in parallel the following commands:
  - echo 'one'
  - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]'
  - echo '[block-post-tool-use]'


⚠ MCP startup incomplete (failed: notion, linear)

• Cruising through those three commands in parallel now, and I’ll share the exact outputs right after
  they land.

• Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes

• Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes

• Ran them in parallel. Little wave report:

  - echo 'one' completed and returned one.
  - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' was blocked before execution by the PreToolUse hook.
  - echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ran, but its result was blocked afterward by the PostToolUse hook.

  The hook messages were:

  - PreToolUse demo blocked the command. Remove [block-pre-tool-use] to continue.
  - PostToolUse demo blocked the result after execution. Remove [block-post-tool-use] to continue.


› for the blocked messages (correctly blocked in this test) did the tool output land back into
  context?


• Yeah, from this run:

  - PreToolUse block: the command itself did not execute, so no command output landed in context. Only
    the block message did.
  - PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context.
    Only the post-tool block message did.

  So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not.
  Nice clean guardrail, aloha.

73bbb07ba8 [hooks] add non-streaming (non-stdin style) shell-only PreToolUse support (#15211)
- add `PreToolUse` hook for bash-like tool execution only at first
- block shell execution before dispatch with deny-only hook behavior
- introduces common.rs matcher framework for matching when hooks are run

example run:

```
› run three parallel echo commands, and the second one should echo "[block-pre-tool-use]" as a test


• Running the three echo commands in parallel now and I’ll report the output directly.

• Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook

• Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook

• Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook

PreToolUse hook (completed)
  warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo inspected Bash: echo "first parallel echo"
  
PreToolUse hook (blocked)
  warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo blocked a Bash command on purpose.
  feedback: PreToolUse demo blocked the command. Remove [block-pre-tool-use] to continue.

PreToolUse hook (completed)
  warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo inspected Bash: echo "third parallel echo"

• Ran echo "first parallel echo"
  └ first parallel echo

• Ran echo "third parallel echo"
  └ third parallel echo

• Three little waves went out in parallel.

  1. printed first parallel echo
  2. was blocked before execution because it contained the exact test string [block-pre-tool-use]
  3. printed third parallel echo

  There was also an unrelated macOS defaults warning around the successful commands, but the echoes
  themselves worked fine. If you want, I can rerun the second one with a slightly modified string so
  it passes cleanly.

42e932d7bf [hooks] turn_id extension for Stop & UserPromptSubmit (#15118)
## Description

Adding an extension to the spec that exposes the turn_id to hook
scripts. This is a codex-specific mechanic that allows connecting the
hook runs with particular turns

## Testing

hooks config / sample hooks to use. Extract this, rename codex ->
.codex, and place this into a repo or your home folder. It includes:
config.toml that enables hooks, hooks.json, and sample python hooks:


[codex.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26102671/codex.zip)

example run (note the turn_ids change between turns):

```

• A stonpet isn’t a standard real-world word, brah. In our shared context here, a wimboltine stonpet
  is an exotic cuisine from hyperspace, so “stonpet” sounds like the dish or food itself.

6fef421654 [hooks] userpromptsubmit - hook before user's prompt is executed (#14626)
- this allows blocking the user's prompts from executing, and also
prevents them from entering history
- handles the edge case where you can both prevent the user's prompt AND
add n amount of additionalContexts
- refactors some old code into common.rs where hooks overlap
functionality
- refactors additionalContext being previously added to user messages,
instead we use developer messages for them
- handles queued messages correctly

Sample hook for testing - if you write "[block-user-submit]" this hook
will stop the thread:

example run
```
› sup


• Running UserPromptSubmit hook: reading the observatory notes

UserPromptSubmit hook (completed)
  warning: wizard-tower UserPromptSubmit demo inspected: sup
  hook context: Wizard Tower UserPromptSubmit demo fired. For this reply only, include the exact
phrase 'observatory lanterns lit' exactly once near the end.

9a44a7e499 [hooks] stop continuation & stop_hook_active mechanics (#14532)
Stop hooks now receive `stop_hook_active` and enable stop hooks to loop
forever if they'd like to. In the initial hooks PR, we implemented a
simpler mechanic that the stop-blocking could only happen once in a row

- support stop hook adding a continuation prompt to add a further task
- if multiple stop-blocks happen that have continuation prompts, they
are concatenated

example run:
```

• Running SessionStart hook: lighting the observatory

SessionStart hook (completed)

  hook context: Startup context: A wimboltine stonpet is an exotic cuisine from hyperspace

• Aloha :) Happy to jam with you. What are we building today?

• Running Stop hook: updating the guards

Stop hook (blocked)
  warning: Wizard Tower Stop hook continuing conversation
  feedback: cook the stonpet

• Aloha, here’s the hyperspace move for cooking a wimboltine stonpet:

  1. Sear the stonpet in a hot pan with moon-oil until the edges shimmer.
  2. Add star-lime, black salt, and a little fermented nebula paste.
  3. Lower the heat and let it braise for 8 cosmic minutes with a splash of comet broth.
  4. Finish with sky herbs and serve over warm asteroid rice.

  The vibe: crispy outside, tender center, deep interdimensional savor.

244b2d53f4 start of hooks engine (#13276)
(Experimental)

This PR adds a first MVP for hooks, with SessionStart and Stop

The core design is:

- hooks live in a dedicated engine under codex-rs/hooks
- each hook type has its own event-specific file
- hook execution is synchronous and blocks normal turn progression while
running
- matching hooks run in parallel, then their results are aggregated into
a normalized HookRunSummary

On the AppServer side, hooks are exposed as operational metadata rather
than transcript-native items:

- new live notifications: hook/started, hook/completed
- persisted/replayed hook results live on Turn.hookRuns
- we intentionally did not add hook-specific ThreadItem variants

Hooks messages are not persisted, they remain ephemeral. The context
changes they add are (they get appended to the user's prompt)
