Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

PreToolUse Hook Timeout Message Improved

What

When a PreToolUse hook times out before the host client responds, the error message now explicitly states that the tool call was not executed and that other hooks may not have run.

Details
  • Old behavior: the hook timeout error was surfaced as a generic error with less context.
  • New message: "PreToolUse hook did not respond before its timeout (host client may be unreachable). The tool call was not executed; other configured hooks may not have completed."
Evidence

New message constant (search for "PreToolUse hook did not respond before its timeout")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
