The bridge tests that drive observe-only emit listeners (session-start, subagent/start, subagent/end) fire their hook on a detached `.then` the test cannot await. They waited a fixed 50-80ms, which flaked under the full test:coverage run's heavy parallel load (transform ~400s): the sleep expired before the async hook completed, so the injected context / marker file / warn call had not landed. Replace each fixed sleep with a `waitFor(predicate)` poll that retries until the observable effect appears (5s deadline) — "async state is not synchronous state": wait for the signal that actually fires, not a guessed duration. No behavior change; the same assertions, made robust to scheduling.
@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/modelextras, written without a trailing newline. - No env vars and no command substitution (a literal
${…}in a command survives verbatim). - A block-only decision model —
allow/askare 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; 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.
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) |
block → PreToolDecision.deny (no allow/ask) |
PostToolUse |
tools/post-execute (waterfall) |
block → block 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.
