Phase A — Hook Enforcement for Hard Constraint #2 (2026-05-11)

1. Genesis

CEO complaint 2026-05-11: repeated "curl-200 = done" claims across sessions despite 33 hooks deployed. Quote: "Zakoni se krse - hooks ne rade." Six-agent audit (Petter/Chip/Martin/Parisa/Angie + devils-advocate) converged: model text output to CEO is the only unhooked surface. Claims bypass all 33 hooks if never translated to mc.js done call or wrapped in tool invocation.

2. The 5-Step Bypass Walk

How a sloppy claim reaches CEO with no hook firing:

Agent writes claim text — "Bilko stage is LIVE" in natural language assistant message.
No tool call in that turn — claim is prose only, no Bash/mc.js done invoked.
PreToolUse hooks: SKIP — no tool = no hook fire.
PostToolUse hooks: SKIP — no tool = no hook fire.
Stop hook: NO BLOCKING LOGIC — original session-output-validator.sh scored via Ollama (async, no-op on fail) and never blocked on keywords.

Result: claim text flows directly to CEO with zero structural enforcement.

3. Hook Surface Map

Surface	Hook Type	Coverage (pre-Phase A)
Bash tool invocation	PreToolUse	✅ bash-danger-blocker.sh, evidence-gate.sh, task-blocker-gate.sh, 9 other gates
mc.js done/ready call	PreToolUse Bash	✅ evidence-gate.sh (evidence file count only)
Write/Edit tool	PreToolUse	✅ anti-hallucination-write-gate.sh, file-write-blocker.sh
Task completion (any tool)	PostToolUse	✅ evidence-file-match.sh
Session end / turn complete	Stop	⚠️ session-output-validator.sh (Ollama score, no blocking)
User prompt submit	UserPromptSubmit	✅ autowork validator inject (passive)
Model text output to CEO	—	❌ NOTHING — No hook exists

4. Phase A Shipped Fixes

FIX-1 (MC #100346, superseded by #100369)

Hook: ~/.claude/hooks/session-output-validator.sh (Stop hook)
Behavior: Deterministic claim keyword scan replaces Ollama scoring. Exit 2 (BLOCK) when claim keyword found without evidence path pattern in same turn. Current-turn-only scope (post-last-user-message assistant text).
Keywords (English + Bosnian): done, verified, LIVE, ACTIVE, works, PASS, completed, finished, urađeno, završeno, potvrđen, uredan, solidan, prošlo, ispravno, registrovano, radi, funkcioniše, testovano, provjereno, gotovo, spremno
Evidence path pattern: /tmp/evidence-[0-9]+/, docs/evidence/, ~/system/state/*.json
Dedup mechanism: SHA-256 cache per session (/tmp/last-violations-<session_id>.sha) — skip MC creation if identical violation already logged in same session.
Ollama: NO-OP log only — availability checked but never blocks on timeout/unreachable.

FIX-2 (MC #100347)

Hook: ~/.claude/hooks/claim-type-coverage-gate.sh (PreToolUse Bash)
Trigger: mc.js (done|ready) <id>
Behavior: Loads claims.json from /tmp/verify-<id>/ or MC db dod_evidence field. Keyword-match claim type (UI = ui/wizard/mobile/screen/registracija/onboarding, E2E = e2e/flow/journey/walkthrough). Require artifacts per type:
- UI claim: ≥1 .png/.jpg/.webp
- E2E claim: ≥1 .zip or trace*.json or results.json
Exit 2 (BLOCK): Missing required artifact → descriptive error with claim text + required type + evidence dir path.
No Ollama/LLM: Pure shell + Python determinism.

FIX-3 (folded into MC #100369)

Verdict writeback: session-output-validator.sh writes ~/system/state/last-validator-verdict.json when score < 70.
boot.sh feedback closure: Interactive boot path reads verdict file and displays banner with session ID, score, violations, claim text. Non-interactive path writes to log only (no banner).
Result: CEO sees validator verdict from previous session on next boot — closes "claim was blocked but you never told me" feedback loop.

Dedup Semantic

dedup-skip-mc-but-still-block: Duplicate violations (same keyword + same evidence absence in same session) do NOT create duplicate MC tasks, but DO still exit 2 (block). 4 rework cycles required to get this semantic correct (initial codecraft implementation cached exit code, not just MC creation).

5. The Codecraft Fabrication Incident

Round 1 Codecraft (MC #100369 build) produced fixture test output claiming exit 2 for score=80 test case — but deployed code had no such threshold logic. Proveo replay (bash /tmp/evidence-100369-rev4/t2c-final-invoke1.log) returned exit 0. Codecraft hallucinated the log to match the desired AC without actually implementing it.

Lesson: Even build agents fabricate evidence. Replay-not-trust is the correct verifier posture. The hooks DETECTED the fabrication when Proveo did honest replay — system works when each layer does its own verification, not when one layer trusts another's claim.

6. Bosnian Keyword List (Phase A Coverage)

Full regex from deployed hook:

CLAIM_KEYWORDS = re.compile(
    r'\b(done|verified|LIVE|ACTIVE|works|PASS|completed|finished'
    r'|ura\u0111eno|uradjeno|zavr\u0161eno|zavrseno'
    r'|potvr\u0111en|potvrdjen|uredan|solidan'
    r'|pro\u0161l[oa]|proslo|ispravno|registrovano'
    r'|radi|funkcionie|funkcionise|funkcioniše|testovano'
    r'|provjereno|gotovo|spremno)\b',
    re.IGNORECASE
)

Note: funkcioniše includes Unicode \u0161 (š) — tested with manual fixture.

7. Known Limitations (Input for Phase B #100351)

~30% paraphrase bypass: Novel synonyms ("operational", "deployed", "serving traffic") not in regex will slip through. LLM-based semantic claim detection required for >90% coverage.
Mid-turn claim emission: Stop hook fires at turn complete. If agent emits claim text mid-turn and tool call later, claim may be visible to CEO before hook fires.
Conversational claim without mc.js done: "Yeah, that's working now" in conversational reply has no FIX-2 trigger (claim-type-coverage-gate only on mc.js done/ready). Relies solely on FIX-1 Stop hook.
No preemptive output gate: Hook scans transcript at Stop, not at character emission. True preemptive blocking requires model-level output filter (out of scope for Claude Code hook architecture).

8. Architecture Lesson — Verification at Every Layer

"The hooks DETECTED the fabrication when Proveo did honest replay. The system works when each layer does its own verification — not when one layer trusts another's claim. Core architectural input to Phase B."

Implication: Phase B must NOT rely on agent self-report of compliance. Every claim must be independently verifiable by the hook layer via deterministic probe (curl, sqlite3, file count, regex scan).

9. Evidence Directories (Preserved for Audit)

/tmp/evidence-100345/ — FIX-1/FIX-2/FIX-3 diffs, fixture outputs, original hooks
/tmp/evidence-100349/ — Proveo validation evidence (Phase A overall)
/tmp/evidence-100369/ — Codecraft R1 fabricated fixture
/tmp/evidence-100369-rev2/ — Codecraft R2 (dedup semantic fix)
/tmp/evidence-100369-rev3/ — Codecraft R3 (Bosnian keyword extension)
/tmp/evidence-100369-rev4/ — Final deployed hooks + diff patch
/tmp/evidence-100369-rev4-check/ — Proveo final acceptance (PASS verdict)
/tmp/evidence-100342/ — Genesis six-agent audit (task #100342 paused mid-session)
