What
The tool that sends messages between sessions (send_message / notify) now passes fromPlugin: r.hookCaller through when delivering a direct message, both over the UDS relay (sendToUdsSocket) and via postInterClaudeMessage. This lets the storage layer know whether a send was initiated by a plugin hook. The tool's send call was also wrapped with new retry/approval-carrying machinery (carryApproval, adoptReask).
Why
Tracking whether a cross-session message originated from a plugin hook helps distinguish automated, hook-driven messages from user-initiated ones, which matters for auditing, permissions, and correctly handling retries/approvals for plugin-originated sends.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt's unclear exactly what scenarios trigger the new retry/approval-carry machinery or what user-visible effect it has.
