#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Scribe plugin — PreToolUse write-path trigger (prior-art recall).
#
# Auto-inject (scribe_autoinject.sh) fires on the operator's prompt. The moment
# reuse is actually lost is later: when the AGENT decides mid-task to write a
# helper. This hook fires there — on Write/Edit — and asks the operator's Scribe
# instance what prior art is already recorded for the target file: a snippet at
# that path or in its directory, plus snippets resembling the code about to be
# written. Titles + ids only, never bodies.
#
# The answer comes in two framings (#2708). A snippet recorded AT the exact
# file being edited is the SYNC class — "you are editing the recorded file;
# updating the record is part of the edit" — which is how records stay current
# on an instance with no forge connection (decision #2707). Everything else is
# the REUSE menu. The two dedup separately (see the state files below).
#
# It is also the shape ledger's write-path feed (#2791): it names the
# definitions being written (`shapes=`), and the server — only when the
# session has PULLED a snippet this code references or resembles — records
# them as instance rows, classified_by=hook. Evidence, not judgment; the
# context line says what landed so a wrong stamp is corrected in the moment.
#
# NEVER BLOCKS. It returns `additionalContext` with no `permissionDecision`, so
# the write proceeds untouched and Claude sees the note beside the tool result.
# Any failure — unconfigured, unreachable, malformed — exits 0 in silence. A
# recall aid must not be able to stop the operator's work.
#
# Config (same as the other hooks), exported to the hook by Claude Code with the
# userConfig key UPPERCASED (see #2198 — the lowercase spelling reads as empty
# and this hook then exits 0 in silence, looking exactly like "no prior art"):
#   CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_API_ENDPOINT  base URL, no trailing slash
#   CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_API_TOKEN     fmcp_ API key (sensitive)
#   SCRIBE_URL / SCRIBE_TOKEN override for the settings.json dogfooding path.

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THE LEDGER FEED (#2791). The server keeps a shape ledger — every definition
# in the bound repo, classified against recorded canon — and this hook is the
# one place that sees a shape AT THE MOMENT IT IS WRITTEN. So it names the
# shapes in play: every definition in the payload, or — for an Edit that
# changes the inside of a function rather than its signature — the definition
# enclosing the edit, found by walking the target file upward from the edited
# lines. The server decides whether evidence exists (the session pulled a
# snippet this code references or resembles) and stamps instance rows; with
# no pulled canon in play, nothing is recorded. Titles only still — this sends
# names, not bodies.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# THE ENCLOSING DEFINITION IS THE LAST ONE AT OR ABOVE THE EDIT, and taking it
# needs no `tac`. This read `head -n $ln | tac | scribe_defs | head -1` — reverse
# the lines, extract, take the first. `tac` is GNU-only: it is absent on macOS
# (whose equivalent is `tail -r`), so the guard below it meant this arm did
# nothing at all on every Mac, silently, since the day it shipped. scribe_defs
# judges each line independently, so reversing first and taking the head is the
# same answer as extracting forward and taking the tail — and `tail` also drops
# the `head -1` whose early exit is the SIGPIPE trap #4042 was filed for.
