## Why
`hooks/list` and `hooks/config/write` give us read/write access to hooks
and their state. This hooks up the TUI as a client so users can inspect
and manage that state directly.
## What
- add a two-page `/hooks` browser in the TUI: an event overview with
installed/active counts, followed by a per-event handler page with
toggle controls and detail rendering
- thread managed-state metadata through hook discovery and `hooks/list`
so the UI can label admin-managed hooks and suppress toggles for them
- persist hook toggles through the existing config-write path and add
snapshot coverage for the event list, handler list, managed-hook, and
empty states

## Reviewer Notes
- Main UI logic is in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/hooks_browser_view.rs`; most of the diff
is the new view plus its snapshot coverage
- Request / write plumbing for opening the browser and persisting
toggles is in `codex-rs/tui/src/app/background_requests.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/hooks.rs`
- Outside the TUI, the only behavioral change in this PR is threading
`is_managed` through hook discovery and `hooks/list` so managed hooks
render as non-toggleable
- The `codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/` churn is unrelated merge
fallout from the stacked base branch's newer permission-label rendering

## Why
After `hooks/list` exposes the hook inventory, clients need a way to
persist user hook preferences, make those changes effective in
already-open sessions, and distinguish user-controllable hooks from
managed requirements without adding another bespoke app-server write
API.
## What
- Extends `hooks/list` entries with effective `enabled` state.
- Persists user-level hook state under `hooks.state.<hook-id>` so the
model can grow beyond a single boolean over time.
- Uses the existing `config/batchWrite` path for hook state updates
instead of introducing a dedicated hook write RPC.
- Refreshes live session hook engines after config writes so
already-open threads observe updated enablement without a restart.

## Reviewer Notes
The generated schema files account for much of the raw diff. The core
behavior is in:
- `hooks/src/config_rules.rs`, which resolves per-hook user state from
the config layer stack.
- `hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`, which projects effective enablement
into `hooks/list` from source-derived managedness.
- `config/src/hook_config.rs`, which defines the new `hooks.state`
representation.
- `core/src/session/mod.rs`, which rebuilds live hook state after user
config reloads.

# Why
`plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source` can still
fail on Windows after the earlier file-based assertion cleanup because
the hook process itself occasionally exceeds the old 5s timeout under CI
load. When that happens, the hook run ends as `Failed` before the test
can inspect its structured output.
The Windows Bazel failure showed the hook run itself failing after
nearly 8 seconds:
```text

thread 'engine::tests::plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source' panicked at hooks/src\engine\mod_tests.rs:428:5:

# What
- raise the flaky plugin hook env test timeout from 5s to 10s so it
matches the other executed hook tests in this module
# Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
The test was flaky because it was checking the right thing in a
roundabout way.
What it wanted to prove:
- plugin hooks receive the right environment variables.
What it actually did:
1. Run a plugin hook.
2. Have that hook write those env vars into a temporary `env.json` file.
3. After the hook finished, read `env.json` back from disk.
On Windows, that last file was sometimes not there when the test tried
to read it, so the test failed with `read env log: file not found`. The
hook system itself was not what the test failure was directly proving;
the test was failing on the extra filesystem side effect it introduced.
The fix is to stop using a temp file as the proof mechanism. The hook
now prints the env values in its normal structured output, and the test
asserts on the output that the hook engine already captures. So we still
verify the same behavior, but without depending on a separate file being
created and read back correctly on Windows.
## Why
Plugins can bundle lifecycle hooks, but Codex previously only discovered
hooks from user, project, and managed config layers. This adds the
plugin discovery and runtime plumbing needed for plugin-bundled hooks
while keeping execution behind the `plugin_hooks` feature flag.
## What
- Discovers plugin hook sources from each plugin's default
`hooks/hooks.json`.
- Supports `plugin.json` manifest `hooks` entries as either relative
paths or inline hook objects.
- Plumbs discovered plugin hook sources through plugin loading into the
hook runtime when `plugin_hooks` is enabled.
- Marks plugin-originated hook runs as `HookSource::Plugin`.
- Injects `PLUGIN_ROOT` and `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` into plugin hook
command environments.
- Updates generated schemas and hook source metadata for the plugin hook
source.

## Reviewer Notes
- Core logic is in `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader.rs` and
`codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
- Moved existing / adding new tests to
`codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader_tests.rs` hence the large diff there
- Otherwise mostly plumbing and minor schema updates
### Core Changes
The `codex-rs/core` changes are limited to wiring plugin hook support
into existing core flows:
- `core/src/session/session.rs` conditionally pulls effective plugin
hook sources and plugin hook load warnings from `PluginsManager` when
`plugin_hooks` is enabled, then passes them into `HooksConfig`.
- `core/src/hook_runtime.rs` adds the `plugin` metric tag for
`HookSource::Plugin`.
- `core/config.schema.json` picks up the new `plugin_hooks` feature
flag, and `core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs` updates fixtures for the
added plugin hook fields.

## Summary
Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
`PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
- hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
- hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
- core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
model-visible and stable
This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
## Reviewer Notes
I think these are the key files
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
`command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
## Changes
- Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
- Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
as `tool_input`.
- Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
`McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
- Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
elicitation.
- Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
`mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

## Summary
Support the existing hooks schema in inline TOML so hooks can be
configured from both `config.toml` and enterprise-managed
`requirements.toml` without requiring a separate `hooks.json` payload.
This gives enterprise admins a way to ship managed hook policy through
the existing requirements channel while still leaving script delivery to
MDM or other device-management tooling, and it keeps `hooks.json`
working unchanged for existing users.
This also lays the groundwork for follow-on managed filtering work such
as #15937, while continuing to respect project trust gating from #14718.
It does **not** implement `allow_managed_hooks_only` itself.
NOTE: yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the toml isn't formatted as
closely as normal to our default styling. This is because we're trying
to stay compatible with the spec for plugins/hooks that we'll need to
support & the main usecase here is embedding into requirements.toml
## What changed
- moved the shared hook serde model out of `codex-rs/hooks` into
`codex-rs/config` so the same schema can power `hooks.json`, inline
`config.toml` hooks, and managed `requirements.toml` hooks
- added `hooks` support to both `ConfigToml` and
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, including requirements-side `managed_dir` /
`windows_managed_dir`
- treated requirements-managed hooks as one constrained value via
`Constrained`, so managed hook policy is merged atomically and cannot
drift across requirement sources
- updated hook discovery to load requirements-managed hooks first, then
per-layer `hooks.json`, then per-layer inline TOML hooks, with a warning
when a single layer defines both representations
- threaded managed hook metadata through discovered handlers and exposed
requirements hooks in app-server responses, generated schemas, and
`/debug-config`
- added hook/config coverage in `codex-rs/config`, `codex-rs/hooks`,
`codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/tests.rs`, and
`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/hooks.rs`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server config_api`
## Documentation
Companion updates are needed in the developers website repo for:
- the hooks guide
- the config reference, sample, basic, and advanced pages
- the enterprise managed configuration guide
