Summary

setup-hooks owns its hooks one command leaf at a time but removes them
a whole matcher group at a time. Claude Code's schema lets one matcher group
hold several command leaves, so a user who put their own command beside ours
inside one group loses it — on wmux setup-hooks --remove, and on every
reinstall, since install is clear-then-add through the same function. Removal is
now per leaf.

Changes

  • stripWmuxHooks filters leaves, not groups. Our leaves go; the group
    survives carrying the user's leaves and its matcher unchanged; a group left
    empty still disappears with its event array, and the hooks key with it when
    that was the last one.
  • isWmuxLeaf extracted; isWmuxGroup is now hooks.some(isWmuxLeaf) and
    deliberately keeps its group-level meaning. Detection asks "does this group
    provide the spec?", which a mixed group still does, so installedSpecsIn,
    profile derivation (Should lifecycle signals be installable without the wide PreToolUse permission gate? #970) and --status are untouched.
  • The removal count counts leaves. Byte-identical for everything wmux
    writes — installHooks only ever emits single-leaf wmux-only groups — and
    different only where one group held more than one of ours.
  • The doc comment now describes the code. It claimed to preserve "every
    foreign (non-wmux) hook group": true per group, false per leaf.
  • integrations/claude/README.md says which granularity "leaves your other
    hooks intact" means, since the interesting case is exactly the one a reader
    cannot infer from the sentence.

CHANGELOG entry

Fixed

  • setup-hooks no longer removes a hook of your own that shares a matcher
    group with wmux's.
    Claude Code allows several commands under one matcher. If
    you added yours next to wmux's, wmux setup-hooks --remove took yours with
    it — and so did every reinstall, including the bridge refresh that runs on
    app update. Removal now drops only the wmux command and leaves the group, its
    matcher, and your commands in place. Hooks in groups of their own were never
    affected. (fix(hooks): remove wmux hook leaves, not the groups they share #1008)

Stability tier impact

  • No external surface touched (internal refactor / docs / tests / CI).

No RPC, event, or pipe surface changes. The observable change is confined to
which entries setup-hooks writes back to ~/.claude/settings.json, in the
direction of touching less of the file than before.

Substrate contract impact (Substrate 3.0)

n/a — settings.json hook registration only.

Test plan

  • Unitsrc/cli/commands/__tests__/setupHooks.test.ts, 3 cases added
    (68 total, green):

    • --remove on a hand-mixed group keeps the foreign leaf and the group's
      matcher;
    • a reinstall keeps that leaf, and re-adds wmux's own hook exactly once, in a
      group of its own;
    • the count reports leaves rather than groups (two wmux leaves in one group,
      one stale path — removed === 2).

    The reinstall case also asserts the preserved group keeps its matcher
    (review): removal already pinned that with a whole-group toEqual, install
    did not, so a strip that rebuilt the group and dropped the matcher passed.
    Control for that one specifically: make stripWmuxHooks rebuild as
    kept.push({ hooks: foreign }) and two tests go red where one did before.

  • Control run — revert setupHooks.ts only, keep the tests: exactly those
    three go red and the other 65 stay green, so each new test pins behaviour that
    did not exist before.

    × keeps a foreign leaf the user added inside a wmux group across a re-install
    × removes only the wmux leaf from a group it shares with a foreign hook
    × counts the wmux leaves it removes, not the groups they sat in
    Tests  3 failed | 65 passed (68)
    
  • State table walked for stripWmuxHooks, since the bug was one unenumerated
    case: group with no wmux leaf (untouched) / all leaves wmux (group goes, as
    before) / mixed (new behaviour) / hooks not an array or empty (untouched,
    as before) / non-object junk beside a wmux leaf (kept — anything we cannot
    prove is ours is the user's).

  • npx tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on both touched files.

  • Full suite: 11 889 passed. 14 failures in 7 files, none of which import setupHooks
    logSink (Windows file-rotation/lock timing), worktree.handler,
    mergeSession, atlasCoherence, brokerLifecycle.dynamic, and the
    THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES drift guard, which is stale locally because my
    node_modules predates the dependency bumps in chore(deps): bump ip-address and express-rate-limit #988/chore(deps): bump the npm-security group across 1 directory with 3 updates #994/Close the eleven open Dependabot alerts with three dependency overrides #1007. Two runs of
    the identical tree failed different sets (20 tests, then 14), so those are
    environment/timing, not the diff. CI is the arbiter.

Related issues / PRs

Refines #781, which established that a group carrying our bridge command is
ours to refresh. That is still true — this narrows it from the group to the
command.

Reviewer checklist

  • CHANGELOG entry above is filled in or explicitly marked n/a.
  • Stability tier impact is correctly classified.
  • Substrate contract docs (PROTOCOL.md, inventory.md, stability.md) updated if the surface changed.
  • Tests cover the new behavior and the regression case (if a bug fix).
  • No accidental commit of secrets, tokens, .env, or unrelated large binaries.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved hook removal to delete only wmux-owned commands while preserving user-added commands and matchers.
    • Reinstallations and app updates now retain independently configured hook entries.
    • Empty hook groups and unused entries are still cleaned up automatically.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified how hook removal, reinstallation, and bridge refresh operations preserve custom configuration.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for selective uninstall, reinstall preservation, and accurate removal counts.

`stripWmuxHooks` filtered whole matcher groups, while `isWmuxGroup` matches a
group when ANY of its leaves carries the bridge marker. Claude Code's schema
lets one matcher group hold several command leaves, so a user who put their own
command beside ours lost it — on `wmux setup-hooks --remove`, and on every
reinstall, since install is clear-then-add through the same function. The doc
comment claimed the opposite ("PRESERVES every foreign hook group"): true per
group, false per leaf.

Removal now runs per leaf. Our leaves go; the group survives carrying the
user's leaves and its matcher unchanged; a group left empty still disappears
with its event array and, if that was the last one, the `hooks` key. Detection
stays per group on purpose — a mixed group still provides the spec — so
`installedSpecsIn`, profile derivation and `--status` are untouched.

`installHooks` only ever writes single-leaf wmux-only groups, so for every
group wmux itself wrote the two granularities are byte-identical; the existing
suite passes unchanged, removal counts included, and those counts now count
leaves.

Three tests pin the hand-mixed case that used to lose data: `--remove` keeps
the foreign leaf, a reinstall keeps it, and the count reports leaves rather
than groups. Reverting the source change turns exactly those three red and
leaves the other 65 green.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The hook cleanup now removes only wmux-owned command leaves. Mixed matcher groups retain foreign commands and matchers. Reinstall and app-update refresh paths preserve shared configuration, while empty wmux-owned groups and hook maps are removed.

Changes

Hook cleanup behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Leaf ownership and cleanup
src/cli/commands/setupHooks.ts, changelog.d/1008.md, integrations/claude/README.md
Adds centralized wmux leaf detection. Cleanup filters wmux leaves from groups, preserves foreign leaves and matchers, and removes empty hook structures. Documentation describes the updated behavior.
Cleanup regression coverage
src/cli/commands/__tests__/setupHooks.test.ts
Updates reinstall coverage to verify that foreign leaves and the group matcher remain after wmux hook refresh.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3833b

Hook removal now preserves user commands and matcher metadata when mixed with wmux hooks, while targeted regression tests cover removal, reinstall, and leaf counts. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks.

[wmux-hermes] Triage Summary

Makes setup-hooks remove wmux-owned command leaves from settings.json matcher groups instead of whole groups, so a user hook placed beside ours survives remove and reinstall. Change is confined to setupHooks.ts; behavior for wmux-written output stays byte-identical, and the new tests pin the mixed-group cases. P2 — it stops silent loss of user hooks on every bridge refresh, with low regression risk.

Review found the reinstall case under-asserted: it checked that the user's leaf
survives and that wmux's hook is re-added once, but not that the group handed
back is still the group that was there. A strip that rebuilt the group and
dropped `matcher` passed it.

The removal case already pinned this (`toEqual` on the whole group), so the
property was covered on one path and not the other. Now both. Control: drop the
matcher in `stripWmuxHooks` and two tests go red instead of one.
The README's `--remove` line already promised this, and as of the leaf-level
strip it is true at the granularity a reader would assume. Says so explicitly,
because the interesting case — your command sharing a matcher group with ours —
is the one where the promise used to be false and a reader has no way to tell
which granularity the sentence means.

Merged — thank you. This is a good catch and a well-argued one.

The part I appreciated most is that you did not just flip the filter: you kept
isWmuxGroup at group granularity on purpose and said why in the comment, so
detection, --status, and the #970 profile derivation keep asking "does this
group provide the spec?" while removal asks the narrower question. That
distinction was the easy thing to get wrong here.

The state table for stripWmuxHooks and the control run — revert the source,
keep the tests, exactly three go red — made this quick to trust.

One loose end I will pick up in a follow-up, not worth another round trip here:
RemoveOutcome.removed and InstallOutcome.removedForPlugin still document
themselves as "hook groups removed", which is now a leaf count. Nothing reads
them outside the two print helpers, so it is a comment-only fix.
