What

A hook is a script Claude Code runs automatically at set moments. A cloud session runs on another machine. Messages about hooks there have changed:

  • An unreadable hook is now described as one that "this machine could not verify what it runs".
  • Hooks that cannot be used now come with advice: check the script, then move it to ~/.claude/hooks. An inline command should become one script in ~/.claude/hooks.
  • The warning now says hooks start in an empty folder. A hook in your user settings marked "cloud": "device" starts in the project instead, where the cloud session can change files.
  • A plugin hook that fails on another machine is now logged as an error.
Why

When a hook does not work in a cloud session, the message now says more clearly what is wrong and how to fix it.
