hook.rs

//! The hook: every harness's events, one canonical, Claude-shaped event each (session_id, cwd, prompt,
//! tool_name, tool_input, error, last_assistant_message, transcript_path, stop_hook_active), answered
//! Claude-shaped ({"decision":"block","reason"} at stop, `hookSpecificOutput` with context at a prompt
//! or tool call); adapters translate both ways (harness/). What differs per harness comes from its
//! [`Harness`]: capabilities, the turn's work and the drone's last message, never its name.
//!
//! `main` routes and records presence; [`dispatch`] has one function per event. Hooks always fail open:
//! any error lets the drone continue untouched.
