What it is

Plugin validation now warns about symlinked or oversized files instead of reading them.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.233.

Presence across releases

0

The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.

First cited

7

The earliest release whose published evidence quoted hooks.json was v2.1.233, 14 Aug 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table above.

ReleaseDateThe span that was quoted
v2.1.23314 Aug 2026hooks.json is past the size cap and was not read
v2.1.24224 Aug 2026hooks.json `modules` names one hooks module per plugin; a second entry is refused
v2.1.24224 Aug 2026hooks.json must have `hooks` (the hook matchers) or `modules` (hooks modules), or both
v2.1.2679 Sep 2026The surface module: one path, relative to this hooks.json, of a module whose exports draw the hooks module's `Client` elements on a surface, without `$`.
v2.1.2679 Sep 2026hooks.json: unknown ${x(o.length, "key")}
v2.1.2679 Sep 2026the plugin has no surface module loaded (hooks.json "surface" absent, or refused at load: see the debug log), so nothing can draw its Clients

1 further span in the ledger name it. The list above is the earliest first and stops at 6.

Names beside it

Every settings key in the inventory starting hooks, up to twelve of them.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the settings key does. All settings keys.
