Summary

Follow-up to #2380. The exact post-merge matrix showed that synchronous raw-input echoes can be truncated at platform-dependent pipe sizes: macOS Node 18 returned a 16 KiB prefix and macOS Node 20 returned an 8 KiB prefix, while the original classifier recognized only an exact 64 KiB prefix.

This patch removes the fixed buffer-size assumption. A non-empty stdout value is classified as passthrough only when it is a byte-exact prefix of the original hook event. A mismatched prefix remains genuine child output. The hook contract expects complete JSON output, so a truncated raw-event prefix is not a valid replacement result and must be suppressed.

Validation

  • plugin-hook-bootstrap-no-echo.test.js: 13 passed, including deterministic 8 KiB, 16 KiB, and 64 KiB prefix cases plus a mismatch guard
  • plugin-hook-bootstrap.test.js: 15 passed
  • hooks.test.js: 250 passed
  • bash-hook-dispatcher.test.js: 6 passed
  • run-with-flags-truncation.test.js: 7 passed
  • ESLint passed on all affected source and test files
  • git diff --check passed

Failure evidence

  • macOS Node 18 Yarn: raw prefix escaped at 16,384 bytes
  • macOS Node 20 Yarn: raw prefix escaped at 8,192 bytes

This restores the intended #2380 behavior without changing genuine hook output or fail-open handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of truncated command output across different platforms and runtime environments.
    • Prevented duplicated raw input when output is any matching non-empty partial byte prefix.
    • Rejected output containing even a single mismatched byte.
  • Tests

    • Expanded regression coverage for 8 KiB, 16 KiB, and 64 KiB pipe truncation sizes.
    • Added byte-level validation for mismatched prefixes.

Walkthrough

The hook bootstrap now detects any non-empty stdout that matches a byte prefix of the raw input. Regression tests cover 8 KiB, 16 KiB, and 64 KiB prefixes, plus mismatched prefixes.

Changes

Raw passthrough detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Byte-prefix detection and regression coverage
scripts/hooks/plugin-hook-bootstrap.js, tests/hooks/plugin-hook-bootstrap-no-echo.test.js
isRawPassthrough now accepts matching non-empty prefixes of variable byte lengths. Tests cover UTF-8 byte prefixes, 8 KiB, 16 KiB, and 64 KiB prefixes, and reject a modified prefix. Documentation and test names reflect the broader behavior.

Greptile Summary

The hook bootstrap now recognizes byte-exact truncated copies of incoming hook events at platform-dependent pipe capacities, avoiding raw-input transcript bloat while retaining legitimate hook responses. End-to-end checks confirmed the behavior for 8 KiB, 16 KiB, and UTF-8-split 64 KiB outputs.

Confidence Score: 5/5

No blocking failure remains.

The changed output-classification paths and adjacent hook bootstrap regressions completed successfully, with raw truncated prefixes suppressed and structured hook output preserved.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Ran the hook-output-prefix-validation.js script before and after against real temporary child hooks to validate the new output-prefix handling.
  • Compared outputs and found that the previous implementation emitted 8 KiB and 16 KiB raw prefixes, while the updated behavior emits zero stdout bytes for those prefixes and logs the intended suppression, including a 64 KiB prefix split across a two-byte UTF-8 é.
  • Verified that the valid structured permission response remained intact byte-for-byte and that the repository no-echo and direct bootstrap suites passed 13 and 15 tests respectively.
  • Validated the after-state behavior: all requested raw prefixes produced zero stdout bytes and the 64 KiB case split the é across the boundary at the intended position, while the structured decision output was preserved and no non-raw-output sharing a raw-event prefix was found.
