# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase09-session02-hook-runtime-normalization` **Package**: `apps/hooks` **Completed**: 2026-05-31 **Duration**: 3-4 hours

***

## Overview

Phase 09 Session 02 normalized the hook runtime so Claude and Codex-shaped payloads can move through the same safe helper layer before handlers post events, write spool entries, or log diagnostics. The session stayed inside `apps/hooks`, preserved existing Claude hook map behavior, and added Codex fixture coverage for lifecycle, prompt, Bash, permission, and subagent paths.

The privacy boundary was tightened at the runtime edge. Sanitized spool and log helpers now summarize Codex-sensitive prompts, tool input, tool response, transcript paths, MCP arguments, token-like values, and broad paths instead of retaining raw payload bodies.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Normalize in `_lib.js` instead of per-handler branching**: this keeps Claude compatibility stable and gives later Codex hook-map work one shared fallback layer.
2. **Redact by summary, not raw payload forwarding**: diagnostics and spool entries now keep bounded metadata, which reduces privacy risk while still preserving debuggability.

***

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value                        |
| -------- | ---------------------------- |
| Tests    | 32                           |
| Passed   | 32                           |
| Coverage | Not measured in this session |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Provider-neutral hook fields should be normalized once and reused across handlers and tests.
2. Codex-shaped payloads can be supported without changing the existing Claude hook map if the sanitization layer stays strict.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Add the Codex hook map and Codex-specific handler paths in Session 03.
2. Keep privacy tests current as Codex payload shapes evolve.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase09-session02-hook-runtime-normalization/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
