# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase10-session02-codex-hook-install-uninstall-and-diagnostics` **Package**: `apps/cli, apps/hooks` **Completed**: 2026-05-31 **Duration**: 4 hours

***

## Overview

Implemented safe, user-level Codex hook installation, uninstall, and compact diagnostics for Phase 10. The session replaced the deferred Codex routing boundary with backup-first hook management, surgical uninstall behavior, privacy-safe status and doctor output, and focused test and documentation coverage.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Backup-first installs**: Preserve the first raw Codex hooks file before writing managed hooks so uninstall can restore user state when possible.
2. **Compact diagnostics**: Report labels, counts, and trust-review guidance only, avoiding raw hook bodies or sensitive configuration disclosure.

***

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value    |
| -------- | -------- |
| Tests    | 3 suites |
| Passed   | 3 suites |
| Coverage | N/A      |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Codex hook handling needs surgical ownership checks to avoid removing user-managed entries.
2. Session closeout files are part of the release contract and should be updated together with the code changes.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Complete Phase 10 server ingest so Codex lifecycle events flow into heroes and missions.
2. Finish Phase 10 web awareness so Codex labels and filters are visible in the cockpit.

## 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/phase10-session02-codex-hook-install-uninstall-and-diagnostics/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.
