1//! Agent lifecycle hooks for customization.
2//!
3//! Hooks allow you to intercept and customize agent behavior at key points:
4//!
5//! - [`AgentHooks::pre_tool_use`] - Control tool execution permissions
6//! - [`AgentHooks::post_tool_use`] - React to tool completion
7//! - [`AgentHooks::on_event`] - Log or process events
8//! - [`AgentHooks::on_error`] - Handle errors and decide recovery
9//!
10//! # Built-in Implementations
11//!
12//! - [`DefaultHooks`] - Tier-based permissions (default)
13//! - [`AllowAllHooks`] - Allow all tools without confirmation
14//! - [`LoggingHooks`] - Debug logging for all events
