Tianyi Cui 09c8e549b0 fix(hooks): run hooks in the session cwd; honest process-level config + best-effort session-start; surface systemMessage drop
Address review on the bridges:

- Hook cwd (blocking): the bridges never passed a workdir to runHook, so hooks
  ran in the executor default (the ACP server launch dir), not the session
  cwd — a hook doing `pwd`/relative reads/marker writes operated in the wrong
  tree. Both bridges now thread the agent's session `header.cwd` (the
  session/new.cwd) as the hook workdir for agent-scoped points. Regression per
  bridge: server cwd ≠ session cwd, a `pwd` hook proves it ran in the session
  workspace (proven red without the workdir).
- Example config honesty (blocking): `configPath: ./hooks.json` is read ONCE at
  load against the PROCESS cwd, not per-session — the comment/README now say so
  explicitly (a project-local per-session hooks.json is not discovered;
  TODO(per-session-hook-config)). The hooks-run-in-session-cwd fix above is the
  distinct, separately-documented half.
- Session-start timing (blocking): agent/session-start is a synchronous emit and
  the hook runs on a detached .then, so injected context is BEST-EFFORT — not
  guaranteed before the first request. Downgrade the contract in code comments +
  README + RFC (TODO(session-start-gating)) rather than implying "first request
  sees it", and add a no-wait regression that asserts the safe properties
  without pre-waiting for the inject.
- systemMessage (non-blocking): the merge collects merged.systemMessages but no
  bridge surfaced it. Warn per hook (like updatedInput) and document it as
  deferred in both READMEs + the RFC; tests assert the warn + non-surfacing.

@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`)
  defaultTimeoutMs: 600_000,                 // optional: per-hook timeout when a hook sets none
}

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. 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 → allow with context
PreToolUse tools/pre-execute (waterfall) blockPreToolDecision.deny (no allow/ask)
PostToolUse tools/post-execute (waterfall) blockblock with feedback; additionalContext → accept with context
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).
