Spike #3680 asked whether a PreCompact hook can reach the model. Read out of the installed Claude Code build (2.1.273), the answer is yes — through a different channel than note #3679 assumed: * `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` is NEVER read on PreCompact. The hook-output schema has no PreCompact variant; the field is honoured for SessionStart, SubagentStart and Stop, and silently dropped here. * A PreCompact hook's STDOUT becomes `newCustomInstructions`, merged with the operator's own `/compact` instructions and passed into the prompt that writes the summary. Manual, auto and partial compaction all do this. So the hook does not interrupt the compaction — it steers the summary, which is what the next turn reads. Blocking is the thing not to do: a PreCompact block SKIPS compaction, tells the model nothing, and leaves the session running on uncompacted with no summary at all. scribe_precompact_preserve.sh names what the summary is the only copy of: Scribe record ids WITH titles, the in-progress task and its milestone, work done but not yet recorded, governing rules, and unfinished operator asks. No network and no config — what must survive is already in the conversation being summarized; the hook only says which parts are load-bearing.
