What
Hooks are your own commands that Claude Code runs at set points, and a matcher decides which events a hook applies to. The code that applies the matcher was rearranged. A hook with no matcher, or a check with nothing to match against, still counts as a match.
Why
In practice, which hooks run is not expected to change.
