New hook events and compiled-in plugin admission defaults

Three new hook event names appear, and unverified plugins are still allowed to load.

What probably matters to youSection of the release

UserPromptExpansion, TaskCompleted and TeammateIdle are registered as hook events.

What

The list of hook event names now includes UserPromptExpansion, TaskCompleted and TeammateIdle next to the existing PreToolUse, PermissionRequest and UserPromptSubmit. Separately, a map of reasons to block a plugin ships with manifest_invalid, disabled_by_default and will_not_load blocking, while identity_unverified and archive_not_probed do not: an unverified plugin identity or an unscanned plugin archive is not enough to refuse loading by default.

Details
  • Those admission values are build-time constants, not settings.
Evidence

identity_unverified: !1

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