When such a hook cannot run, Claude Code blocks the call. The message shown is now shorter and says the call was not run. It used to talk about a call served for a cloud session and about refusing rather than skipping the check.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you hit this, the message now tells you more directly what happened.\n\n- Area: Hooks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
