Tighten hook output event schemas (#24962)
# Why Fixes #23993. Hook command output schemas are published as the contract for hook authors and schema-driven tooling. The event-specific output schemas previously described `hookSpecificOutput.hookEventName` as the global `HookEventNameWire` enum, so a `pre-tool-use.command.output` schema would validate mismatched values like `PostToolUse`. That made the schemas less precise than the intended event-specific contract. # What Constrain each hook-specific output schema to the matching literal `hookEventName` value, mirroring the existing input-schema shape. Also split `SubagentStartHookSpecificOutputWire` from the session-start output wire so `subagent-start.command.output.schema.json` can emit `const: "SubagentStart"` instead of sharing the session-start definition. # Verification - `cargo nextest run -p codex-hooks` - `just fix -p codex-hooks` - `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-hooks -- --all-targets` |

Add SubagentStop hook (#22873)
# What <img width="1792" height="1024" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8f81d232-5813-4994-a61d-e42a05a93a3e" /> `SubagentStop` runs when a thread-spawned subagent turn is about to finish. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStop` instead of the normal root-agent `Stop` hook. Configured handlers match on `agent_type`. Hook input includes the normal stop fields plus: - `agent_id`: the child thread id. - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type. - `agent_transcript_path`: the child subagent transcript path. - `transcript_path`: the parent thread transcript path. - `last_assistant_message`: the final assistant message from the child turn, when available. - `stop_hook_active`: `true` when the child is already continuing because an earlier stop-like hook blocked completion. `SubagentStop` shares the same completion-control semantics as `Stop`, scoped to the child turn: - No decision allows the child turn to finish. - `decision: "block"` with a non-empty `reason` records that reason as hook feedback and continues the child with that prompt. - `continue: false` stops the child turn. If `stopReason` is present, Codex surfaces it as the stop reason. # Lifecycle Scope Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStop`. Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation, and Other do not run normal `Stop` hooks and do not run `SubagentStop`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal implementation paths. # Stack 1. #22782: add `SubagentStart`. 2. This PR: add `SubagentStop`. 3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs. |

Add SubagentStart hook (#22782)
# What `SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent, before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent `SessionStart` hook. Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex uses the default agent type. Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus: - `agent_id`: the child thread id. - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type. `SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That context is added to the child conversation before the first model request. # Lifecycle Scope Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`. Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation, and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run `SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal implementation paths. Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches behavior with other coding agents' implementation # Stack 1. This PR: add `SubagentStart`. 2. #22873: add `SubagentStop`. 3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs. |

Support PreToolUse updatedInput rewrites (#20527)
## Why
`PreToolUse` already exposes `updatedInput` in its hook output schema,
but Codex currently rejects it instead of applying the rewrite. That
leaves hook authors unable to make the documented pre-execution
adjustment to a tool call before it runs.
## What
- Accept `updatedInput` from `PreToolUse` hooks when paired with
`permissionDecision: "allow"`.
- Apply the rewritten input before dispatch so the tool executes the
updated payload, not the original one.
- Preserve the stable hook-facing compatibility shapes that
participating tool handlers expose:
- Bash-like tools (`shell`, `container.exec`, `local_shell`,
`shell_command`, `exec_command`) use `{ "command": ... }`.
- `apply_patch` exposes its patch body through the same command-shaped
hook contract.
- MCP tools expose their JSON argument object directly.
- Keep each participating tool handler responsible for translating
hook-facing `updatedInput` back into its concrete invocation shape.
## Verification
Direct Bash-like rewrite coverage:
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_container_exec_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_local_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_command_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_exec_command_before_execution`
These cases assert that each supported Bash-like surface runs only the
rewritten command while the hook still observes the original `{
"command": ... }` input.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_apply_patch_before_execution`
- Model emits one patch.
- Hook swaps in a different patch.
- Asserts only the rewritten file is created, and the hook saw the
original patch.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_code_mode_nested_exec_command_before_execution`
- Model runs one nested shell command from code mode.
- Hook rewrites it.
- Asserts only the rewritten command runs, and the hook saw the original
nested input.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_mcp_tool_before_execution`
- Model calls the RMCP echo tool.
- Hook rewrites the MCP arguments.
- Asserts the MCP server receives and returns the rewritten message, not
the original one.

Add compact lifecycle hooks (started by vincentkoc - external contrib) (#19905)
Based on work from Vincent K - https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19060 <img width="1836" height="642" alt="CleanShot 2026-04-29 at 20 47 40@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b647bb89-65fe-40c8-80b0-7a6b7c984634" /> ## Why Compaction rewrites the conversation context that future model turns receive, but hooks currently have no deterministic lifecycle point around that rewrite. This adds compact lifecycle hooks so users can audit manual and automatic compaction, surface hook messages in the UI, and run post-compaction follow-up without overloading tool or prompt hooks. ## What Changed - Added `PreCompact` and `PostCompact` hook events across hook config, discovery, dispatch, generated schemas, app-server notifications, analytics, and TUI hook rendering. - Added trigger matching for compact hooks with the documented `manual` and `auto` matcher values. - Wired `PreCompact` before both local and remote compaction, and `PostCompact` after successful local or remote compaction. - Kept compact hook command input to lifecycle metadata: session id, Codex turn id, transcript path, cwd, hook event name, model, and trigger. - Made compact stdout handling consistent with other hooks: plain stdout is ignored as debug output, while malformed JSON-looking stdout is reported as failed hook output. - Added integration coverage for compact hook dispatch, trigger matching, post-compact execution, and the audited behavior that `decision:"block"` does not block compaction. ## Out of Scope - Hook-specific compaction blocking is not implemented; `decision:"block"` and exit-code-2 blocking semantics are intentionally unsupported for `PreCompact`. - Custom compaction instructions are not exposed to compact hooks in this PR. - Compact summaries, summary character counts, and summary previews are not exposed to compact hooks in this PR. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-hooks` - `cargo test -p codex-core manual_pre_compact_block_decision_does_not_block_compaction` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server hooks_list` - `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture` - `cargo test -p codex-tui hooks_browser` ## Docs The developer documentation for Codex hooks should be updated alongside this feature to document `PreCompact` and `PostCompact`, the `manual`/`auto` matcher values, and the compact hook payload fields. --------- Co-authored-by: Vincent Koc <vincentkoc@ieee.org> |

Support PreToolUse additionalContext (#20692)
# Why `PreToolUse` already exposes `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` in the generated hook schema, but the runtime still rejected it as unsupported. That leaves `PreToolUse` out of step with the other context-injecting hooks and prevents hook authors from attaching model-visible guidance to a pending tool call before it runs. # What - Parse `PreToolUse.additionalContext` and carry it through the hook event pipeline. - Record `PreToolUse` context at the hook boundary so successful context is preserved for both allowed and blocked calls without widening the tool registry surface. - Preserve existing deny behavior when context is combined with either `permissionDecision: "deny"` or the legacy `decision: "block"` shape. |

Add PermissionRequest hooks support (#17563)
## Why We need `PermissionRequest` hook support! Also addresses: - https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301 - run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention but actually no-op so user can still approve - can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script exit 0 and print nothing - https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311 - let the script approve/deny on its own - external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex ## Reviewer Note There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are: - New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs` - Wiring for network approvals `codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs` - Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs` - Wiring for execve `codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` ## What - Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the `PermissionRequest` hook flow. - Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall back to the normal approval path. - Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps: - shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present - network approvals: `network-access <domain>` - Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval permission-request hooks. - For network approvals, passes the originating command in `tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command. <details> <summary>Example `PermissionRequest` hook input for a shell approval</summary> ```json { "session_id": "<session-id>", "turn_id": "<turn-id>", "transcript_path": "/path/to/transcript.jsonl", "cwd": "/path/to/cwd", "hook_event_name": "PermissionRequest", "model": "gpt-5", "permission_mode": "default", "tool_name": "Bash", "tool_input": { "command": "rm -f /tmp/example" } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Example `PermissionRequest` hook input for an escalated `exec_command` request</summary> ```json { "session_id": "<session-id>", "turn_id": "<turn-id>", "transcript_path": "/path/to/transcript.jsonl", "cwd": "/path/to/cwd", "hook_event_name": "PermissionRequest", "model": "gpt-5", "permission_mode": "default", "tool_name": "Bash", "tool_input": { "command": "cp /tmp/source.json /Users/alice/export/source.json", "description": "Need to copy a generated file outside the workspace" } } ``` </details> <details> <summary>Example `PermissionRequest` hook input for a network approval</summary> ```json { "session_id": "<session-id>", "turn_id": "<turn-id>", "transcript_path": "/path/to/transcript.jsonl", "cwd": "/path/to/cwd", "hook_event_name": "PermissionRequest", "model": "gpt-5", "permission_mode": "default", "tool_name": "Bash", "tool_input": { "command": "curl http://codex-network-test.invalid", "description": "network-access http://codex-network-test.invalid" } } ``` </details> ## Follow-ups - Implement the `PermissionRequest` semantics for `updatedInput`, `updatedPermissions`, `interrupt`, and suggestions / `permission_suggestions` - Add `PermissionRequest` support for the `request_permissions` tool path --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> |

[hooks] add non-streaming (non-stdin style) shell-only PostToolUse support (#15531)
CHAINED PR - note that base is eternal/hooks-pretooluse-bash, not main -- so the following PR should be first Matching post-tool hook to the pre-tool functionality here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15211 So, PreToolUse calls for plain shell calls, allows blocking. This PostToolUse call runs after the command executed example run: ``` › as a test, run in parallel the following commands: - echo 'one' - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' - echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ⚠ MCP startup incomplete (failed: notion, linear) • Cruising through those three commands in parallel now, and I’ll share the exact outputs right after they land. • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes PreToolUse hook (blocked) warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo blocked a Bash command on purpose. feedback: PreToolUse demo blocked the command.

Response preview: one ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── • Ran them in parallel. Little wave report: - echo 'one' completed and returned one. - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' was blocked before execution by the PreToolUse hook. - echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ran, but its result was blocked afterward by the PostToolUse hook. The hook messages were: - PreToolUse demo blocked the command. Remove [block-pre-tool-use] to continue. - PostToolUse demo blocked the result after execution. Remove [block-post-tool-use] to continue. › for the blocked messages (correctly blocked in this test) did the tool output land back into context? • Yeah, from this run: - PreToolUse block: the command itself did not execute, so no command output landed in context. Only the block message did. - PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context. Only the post-tool block message did. So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not. Nice clean guardrail, aloha. ``` |

[hooks] add non-streaming (non-stdin style) shell-only PreToolUse support (#15211)
- add `PreToolUse` hook for bash-like tool execution only at first - block shell execution before dispatch with deny-only hook behavior - introduces common.rs matcher framework for matching when hooks are run example run: ``` › run three parallel echo commands, and the second one should echo "[block-pre-tool-use]" as a test • Running the three echo commands in parallel now and I’ll report the output directly. • Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook • Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook • Running PreToolUse hook: name for demo pre tool use hook PreToolUse hook (completed) warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo inspected Bash: echo "first parallel echo" PreToolUse hook (blocked) warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo blocked a Bash command on purpose. feedback: PreToolUse demo blocked the command.

PreToolUse hook (completed) warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo inspected Bash: echo "third parallel echo" • Ran echo "first parallel echo" └ first parallel echo • Ran echo "third parallel echo" └ third parallel echo • Three little waves went out in parallel. 1. printed first parallel echo 2. was blocked before execution because it contained the exact test string [block-pre-tool-use] 3. printed third parallel echo There was also an unrelated macOS defaults warning around the successful commands, but the echoes themselves worked fine. If you want, I can rerun the second one with a slightly modified string so it passes cleanly. ``` |

[hooks] userpromptsubmit - hook before user's prompt is executed (#14626)
- this allows blocking the user's prompts from executing, and also
prevents them from entering history
- handles the edge case where you can both prevent the user's prompt AND
add n amount of additionalContexts
- refactors some old code into common.rs where hooks overlap
functionality
- refactors additionalContext being previously added to user messages,
instead we use developer messages for them
- handles queued messages correctly
Sample hook for testing - if you write "[block-user-submit]" this hook
will stop the thread:
example run
```

[hooks] stop continuation & stop_hook_active mechanics (#14532)
Stop hooks now receive `stop_hook_active` and enable stop hooks to loop
forever if they'd like to. In the initial hooks PR, we implemented a
simpler mechanic that the stop-blocking could only happen once in a row
- support stop hook adding a continuation prompt to add a further task
- if multiple stop-blocks happen that have continuation prompts, they
are concatenated
example run:
```

start of hooks engine (#13276)
(Experimental) This PR adds a first MVP for hooks, with SessionStart and Stop The core design is: - hooks live in a dedicated engine under codex-rs/hooks - each hook type has its own event-specific file - hook execution is synchronous and blocks normal turn progression while running - matching hooks run in parallel, then their results are aggregated into a normalized HookRunSummary On the AppServer side, hooks are exposed as operational metadata rather than transcript-native items: - new live notifications: hook/started, hook/completed - persisted/replayed hook results live on Turn.hookRuns - we intentionally did not add hook-specific ThreadItem variants Hooks messages are not persisted, they remain ephemeral. The context changes they add are (they get appended to the user's prompt) |
