Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.
Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.
Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.
The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.
The Execution bullet cited "the bash-seam PR" — a change unit a reader of
the current tree cannot see. State the standing fact instead, matching the
runner module doc's own phrasing.
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).
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%.
