#!/usr/bin/env bun /** * PostToolUse hook for AskUserQuestion — runtime reliability layer for the * AUQ-failure prose fallback (OV3:B). * * When an AskUserQuestion call comes back as an ERROR / missing result (the * Conductor MCP bug returns `[Tool result missing due to internal error]`), this * hook injects `additionalContext` reminding the model of the failure-fallback * rule, tailored to the session kind. It does NOT render the prose itself — the * model still emits it. The hook only guarantees the reminder fires at the moment * of failure, instead of relying on the model noticing the error result and * recalling the echoed SESSION_KIND. * * DEFENSIVE / INERT-IF-UNSUPPORTED: it is unverified whether Claude Code invokes * PostToolUse hooks when an MCP tool returns a transport/missing-result error (we * could not force that Conductor-internal failure in a harness — see * docs/spikes/claude-code-hook-mutation.md §"PostToolUse on tool error"). If the * platform does NOT fire the hook on that path, this is simply never invoked — no * harm; the prompt-level fallback in generate-ask-user-format.ts still covers it. * On a SUCCESSFUL AskUserQuestion (a real answer), the hook defers (no output). * * Triggered by ~/.claude/settings.json (registered by `setup` next to * question-log-hook): * PostToolUse matcher "(AskUserQuestion|mcp__.*__AskUserQuestion)" * * Invariants: * - Always exits 0. A failing hook MUST NOT block the user's session. * - Never triggers on a successful answer (would corrupt a normal AUQ). * - Errors land in ~/.gstack/hook-errors.log. */ import * as fs from 'fs'; import * as path from 'path'; import * as os from 'os'; import { runBin } from './spawn-bin'; import { SPAWNED_ESCAPE_SENTENCE } from './spawned-directive'; interface HookStdin { tool_name?: string; tool_response?: unknown; cwd?: string; } function stateRoot(): string { return ( process.env.GSTACK_STATE_ROOT || process.env.GSTACK_HOME || path.join(os.homedir(), '.gstack') ); } function logHookError(msg: string): void { try { const sr = stateRoot(); fs.mkdirSync(sr, { recursive: true }); fs.appendFileSync( path.join(sr, 'hook-errors.log'), `${new Date().toISOString()} auq-error-fallback-hook: ${msg}\n`, ); } catch { // last-resort swallow } } function readStdin(): Promise { return new Promise((resolve) => { let buf = ''; process.stdin.setEncoding('utf-8'); process.stdin.on('data', (chunk) => (buf += chunk)); process.stdin.on('end', () => resolve(buf)); process.stdin.on('error', () => resolve(buf)); setTimeout(() => resolve(buf), 2000); }); } /** No-op output — let the tool result stand untouched. */ function defer(): void { process.stdout.write( JSON.stringify({ hookSpecificOutput: { hookEventName: 'PostToolUse' } }), ); process.exit(0); } function inject(additionalContext: string): void { process.stdout.write( JSON.stringify({ hookSpecificOutput: { hookEventName: 'PostToolUse', additionalContext }, }), ); process.exit(0); } /** * Decide whether the tool_response is an ERROR / missing result rather than a * real answer.
