Under the hood
Internal cleanup of how Claude Code handles hooks failing to reload, no visible behavior change
What
The internal code path that reloads Claude Code's hooks module (hooks are scripts that run automatically at certain points, like before a tool runs) was reorganized. The error message shown when the hooks worker process dies mid-reload is now built by a shared helper instead of being duplicated in multiple places, and the logic that decides whether to admit a new version of the hooks module was restructured around new helper functions.
Why
This is an internal refactor. The error text users see and the overall behavior appear unchanged, so there is nothing new to act on here.
