What
A hook is a command you configure that Claude Code runs at a certain point. For hooks on the Elicitation event, a hook result marked as blocked now stops the request straight away with a blocking error. This happens whether or not the hook also reported success.
Before, a hook marked as both blocked and succeeded was ignored if its output was empty or was not JSON (a structured text format), and the request went ahead.
Why
An Elicitation hook meant to block can no longer be silently skipped because of how its output was formatted.
