What
When Claude Code's hooks module fails to reload after being flagged as needing an update, it now records more detail about the failure: a generation number, the text that was expected, and the error itself. This gets stored in a map of reload failures that the existing retry logic already relies on.
Why
This gives more diagnostic detail when a hooks configuration fails to reload, making it easier to figure out why a reload attempt failed and what the retry logic saw.
