What
Hooks are pieces of plugin code that Claude Code runs at set moments. When one fails, Claude Code marks that plugin as failed in every piece of work still in progress. That step now goes through a shared helper. Claude Code still counts a plugin that keeps ignoring its signal to stop and still shuts it down after too many times in a row.
Why
The shutdown of runaway plugins works as before. Any other effect of the reorganisation is unknown.
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 is not known whether the new helper changes what happens when a hook fails.
