## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The harness's extension surface is its typed interception seams ([the interception-seams Agent Note](2026-06-30-interception-seams.md)): a "native hook" is just an ordinary cordis plugin subscribing to `agent/session-start`, `agent/prompt-submit`, `tools/pre-execute`, `tools/post-execute`, `agent/turn-stopping`, `subagent/start`, or `subagent/end`. But users arrive with **existing** Claude Code (CC) and Codex hook configs — a `hooks.json` (or a settings file's `hooks` key) full of shell-command hooks — and want those to run unmodified. This Agent Note introduces the two **bridge plugins** that translate that external shell-hook protocol onto the typed seams, built on the shared wire-protocol library ([the hook-protocol-lib Agent Note](2026-06-30-hook-protocol-lib.md)).

The framing that shapes the whole design: **a bridge is a compatibility adapter, not a power tool.** Anything a bridge does (block a tool, inject context, force continuation, observe a subagent) a native cordis plugin does more powerfully — typed returns, full `ctx`, no serialization boundary. The bridge's reason to exist is to run the explicitly supported subset of external CC/Codex command hooks. That keeps each bridge thin: parse the config, pick a matcher mode, build the per-event payload, call `runHook` + `mergeHookOutputs` from the shared lib, and map the neutral outcome onto a seam Decision. The package READMEs own the exact current unsupported-event and partial-field inventory against the official protocols.

Every bridge `inject()` and additional-context input explicitly passes `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'hooks-claude' | 'hooks-codex' }`. Unit coverage pins the resulting `user/message.source` as the plugin rather than the user.

`UserPromptSubmit` runs during admission, before any turn opens. It therefore writes no turn-scoped `hook/invoked` / `hook/result` pair: a block leaves no transcript, while allowed additional context is durably represented by its sourced `user/message`. The Codex payload still receives the candidate next `turn_id`; rejection does not consume that number.

`UserPromptSubmit` runs at pre-step. For an initial follow-up it executes before any turn opens and therefore writes no turn-scoped `hook/invoked` / `hook/result` pair: rejection leaves the claimed input removed with no transcript, while entered additional context is durably represented by its sourced `user/message`. The Codex payload still receives the candidate next `turn_id`; rejection does not consume that number.

### Adding context is not a veto — delegate, then prepend
|
||||
|
||||
A hook that only attaches `additionalContext` (no block/deny) is NOT a decision the bridge should return on its own: returning `allow`/`accept` from a waterfall listener WITHOUT calling `next()` short-circuits every later `agent/prompt-submit` / `tools/post-execute` listener, so a policy/sandbox plugin registered after the bridge would never see the prompt. Each bridge therefore delegates via `next()` before adding its context to the downstream decision. Both seams carry ordered `additionalContexts` arrays, so the bridge prepends its separately sourced entry while preserving every downstream source, envelope, and metadata field; a downstream prompt block still drops all context because the prompt never reaches the model, while post-tool block semantics may explicitly retain contexts. Code Mode ferries the same array through the outer `run_code` result. Only a real `deny`/`block` from the hook itself short-circuits. Tests assert a later listener can still block a prompt a context-only hook allowed and that retained prompt and post-tool contexts remain separate.

The bridge preserves every downstream message, while a downstream pre-step rejection drops the whole claimed batch because no step opens. Post-tool decisions retain their independent ordered `additionalContexts` semantics, including Code Mode deferral through the outer `run_code` result. Only a real `deny`/`block` from the hook itself short-circuits. Tests assert a later listener can still reject a prompt after a context-only hook and that retained prompt and post-tool contexts remain separate.
