The SessionStart hook injects the most recent *-session.tmp as
additionalContext labelled only with 'Previous session summary:'.
After a /compact boundary, the model frequently re-executes stale
slash-skill invocations it finds inside that summary, re-running
ARGUMENTS-bearing skills (e.g. /fw-task-new, /fw-raise-pr) with the
last ARGUMENTS they saw.
Observed on claude-opus-4-7 with ECC v1.9.0 on a firmware project:
after compaction resume, the model spontaneously re-enters the prior
skill with stale ARGUMENTS, duplicating GitHub issues, Notion tasks,
and branches for work that is already merged.
ECC cannot fix Claude Code's skill-state replay across compactions,
but it can stop amplifying it. Wrap the injected summary in an
explicit HISTORICAL REFERENCE ONLY preamble with a STALE-BY-DEFAULT
contract and delimit the block with BEGIN/END markers so the model
treats everything inside as frozen reference material.
Tests: update the two hooks.test.js cases that asserted on the old
'Previous session summary' literal to assert on the new guard
preamble, the STALE-BY-DEFAULT contract, and both delimiters. 219/219
tests pass locally.
Tracked at: #1534
* fix(gateguard): rewrite routineBashMsg to use fact-presentation pattern
The imperative 'Quote user's instruction verbatim. Then retry.' phrasing
triggers Claude Code's runtime anti-prompt-injection filter, deadlocking
the first Bash call of every session. The sibling gates (edit, write,
destructive) use multi-point fact-list framing that the runtime accepts.
Align routineBashMsg with that pattern to restore the gate's intended
behavior without changing run(), state schema, or any public API.
Closes#1530
* docs(gateguard): sync SKILL.md routine gate spec with new message format
CodeRabbit flagged that skills/gateguard/SKILL.md still described the
pre-fix imperative message. Update the Routine Bash Gate section to
match the numbered fact-list format used by the new routineBashMsg().
Fixes#1469.
On Windows the `claude` binary installed via `npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`
is `claude.cmd`, and Node's spawn() cannot resolve .cmd wrappers via PATH
without shell: true. The call failed with `spawn claude ENOENT` and claw.js
returned an error string to the caller.
Mirrors the fix pattern applied in PR #1456 for the MCP health-check hook.
'claude' is a hardcoded literal (not user input), so enabling shell on Windows
only is safe.
`findPluginInstall()` in `scripts/harness-audit.js` scans two candidate
roots:
{rootDir}/.claude/plugins/
{HOME}/.claude/plugins/
Current Claude Code marketplace installs live one directory deeper:
{HOME}/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/{ecc,everything-claude-code}/...
As a result, running `node scripts/harness-audit.js repo` on any
consumer project reports `consumer-plugin-install: false` even when ECC
is fully installed via marketplace, costing 4 points from Tool Coverage.
Add the `marketplaces/` intermediate directory to `candidateRoots` so
both legacy and current install layouts are recognized. The change is
purely additive: existing candidate paths still resolve, and the new
ones only match when the marketplace layout is present.
Reproduction:
1. Install ECC via Claude Code plugin marketplace
2. cd into any consumer project
3. node ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/everything-claude-code/scripts/harness-audit.js repo
4. Observe consumer-plugin-install=false despite a working install
P1: Gate message asked for raw production data records — changed to
"redacted or synthetic values" to prevent sensitive data exfiltration
P2: SKILL.md description now includes MultiEdit (was missing after
MultiEdit gate was added in previous commit)
P2: Session key pruning now caps __prefixed keys at 50 to prevent
unbounded growth even in theoretical edge cases
9/9 tests pass.

- isChecked() no longer calls saveState() — read-only operation
should not write to disk (was causing 3x writes per tool call)
- Test cleanup uses fs.rmSync(recursive) instead of fs.rmdirSync
which failed with ENOTEMPTY when .tmp files remained
9/9 tests pass.

P1 (cubic-dev-ai): Test process PID differs from spawned hook PID,
so test was seeding/clearing wrong state file. Fix: pass fixed
CLAUDE_SESSION_ID='gateguard-test-session' to spawned hooks.
P2 (cubic-dev-ai): Pruning checked array could evict __bash_session__
and other session keys, causing gates to re-fire mid-session. Fix:
preserve __prefixed keys during pruning, only evict file-path entries.
9/9 tests pass.

P1 bug reported by greptile-apps: MultiEdit uses toolInput.edits[].file_path,
not toolInput.file_path. The gate was silently allowing all MultiEdit calls.
Fix: separate MultiEdit into its own branch that iterates edits array
and gates on the first unchecked file_path.
9/9 tests pass.

Addresses reviewer feedback from @affaan-m:
1. State keyed by CLAUDE_SESSION_ID / ECC_SESSION_ID
- Falls back to pid-based isolation when env vars absent
- State file: state-{sessionId}.json (was .session_state.json)
2. Atomic write+rename semantics
- Write to temp file, then fs.renameSync to final path
- Prevents partial reads from concurrent hooks
3. Bounded checked list (MAX_CHECKED_ENTRIES = 500)
- Prunes to last 500 entries when cap exceeded
- Stale session files auto-deleted after 1 hour
9/9 tests pass.

- Add `minimal` profile so the security hook runs in all profiles
- Scope -n/--no-verify flag check to the detected subcommand region,
preventing false positives on chained commands (e.g. `git log -n 10`)
- Guard stdin listeners with `require.main === module` so require()
from run-with-flags.js does not register unnecessary listeners
- Verify subcommand token is preceded only by flags/flag-args after
"git", preventing misclassification of argument values as subcommands
- Add integration tests for block-no-verify hook

Replace inline `npx block-no-verify@1.1.2` with a standalone Node.js
script routed through `run-with-flags.js`, matching every other hook.
Fixes two bugs:
1. npx inherits the project cwd and triggers EBADDEVENGINES in
pnpm-only projects that set devEngines.packageManager.onFail=error.
2. The hook bypassed run-with-flags.js so ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS had no
effect — the isHookEnabled() check never ran.
The new script replicates the full block-no-verify@1.1.2 detection
logic (--no-verify, -n shorthand for commit, core.hooksPath override)
with zero external dependencies.
Closes#1378
Fix two lint issues that cause `npm run lint` to exit non-zero:
1. README.md (MD028): Two consecutive blockquotes separated by a bare
blank line. Markdownlint treats this as one blockquote with an
illegal blank line inside. Replace the blank line with a `>`
continuation so both paragraphs stay in the same blockquote.
2. session-activity-tracker.js (eqeqeq): Three instances of `== null`
replaced with explicit `=== null || === undefined` guards to satisfy
the repo's `eqeqeq: warn` ESLint rule.
Closes#1366
MultiEdit was bypassing the fact-forcing gate because only Edit and
Write were checked. Now MultiEdit triggers the same edit gate (list
importers, public API, data schemas) before allowing file modifications.
Updated both the hook logic and hooks.json matcher pattern.

Destructive bash gate previously denied every invocation with no
isChecked call, creating an infinite deny loop. Now gates per-command
on first attempt and allows retry after the model presents the required
facts (targets, rollback plan, user instruction).

- GATEGUARD_STATE_DIR env var for test isolation (hook + tests)
- Exit code assertions on all 9 tests (no vacuous passes)
- Non-vacuous allow-path assertions (verify pass-through preserves input)
- Robust newline-injection assertion
- clearState() now reports errors instead of swallowing

1. Use run-with-flags.js wrapper (supports ECC_HOOK_PROFILE, ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS)
2. Add session timeout (30min inactivity = state reset, fixes "once ever" bug)
3. Add 9 integration tests (deny/allow/timeout/sanitize/disable)
Refactored hook to module.exports.run() pattern for direct require() by
run-with-flags.js (~50-100ms faster per invocation).

A PreToolUse hook that forces Claude to investigate before editing.
Instead of self-evaluation ("are you sure?"), it demands concrete facts:
importers, public API, data schemas, user instruction.
A/B tested: +2.25 quality points (9.0 vs 6.75) across two independent tasks.
- scripts/hooks/gateguard-fact-force.js — standalone Node.js hook
- skills/gateguard/SKILL.md — skill documentation
- hooks/hooks.json — PreToolUse entries for Edit|Write and Bash
