"""The PreCompact hook steers the summary and never blocks the compaction (#3680). The mechanism this pins was read out of the installed Claude Code build, not out of the documentation, which describes a different one. Three facts decide whether the hook works at all, and all three are properties of what the shell writes rather than of anything Scribe runs: * **Exit 0.** The handler keeps a hook's stdout only when it `succeeded`, which is `status === 0`. A non-zero exit sends the same bytes down the failure branch instead, where they become a line on the operator's screen and reach the model not at all. * **Plain text on stdout.** That text is returned as `newCustomInstructions` and merged into the prompt that writes the summary. JSON is not unwrapped for this event — the hook-output schema has no PreCompact variant — so a JSON envelope would be spliced into the summarizer's instructions verbatim, braces and all. * **Never blocked.** `exit 2` or `{"decision": "block"}` makes the handler SKIP the compaction. The model is never told; the session simply runs on uncompacted toward its context limit with no summary. That is strictly worse than having no hook, and it is the outcome the spike existed to keep out of the plugin — so it is pinned here rather than left to review. The fourth test is the one that catches a rewrite drifting back toward the original design: a future edit that reaches for `additionalContext` would look correct beside every other hook in this directory and would inject nothing.
