HKV now flags hooks that build hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext from
un-grepped command output as an INFO advisory (weight 0, never severity-bearing
— excluded from the self-audit nonInfo set). That field enters Claude's context
every time the hook fires (plain stdout on exit 0 does not), so an unfiltered
payload is a recurring per-turn token cost.
- New lib scanners/lib/hook-additional-context.mjs: pure assessHookAdditionalContext
(unit-tested, no IO) + IO wrapper assessHookContextForRepo (walk hooks->scripts).
Heuristic: additionalContext + verbose-prone capture (cat/git log/execSync/…) &&
no filter (grep/head/jq/.slice). Deliberately low precision -> advisory only.
- HKV: emits the advisory inline on scripts it already reads (after the M5 verbose
check). Additive, info severity -> frozen v5.0.0 + SC-5 snapshots untouched.
- feature-gap: new filterHookLeverFinding companion, fires ONLY when >=1 chatty
hook is detected — surfaces the filter-before-Claude-reads lever (CC
filter-test-output.sh). Silent otherwise (opportunity, not noise).
- docs: README HKV + GAP scanner rows; scanner-internals.md HKV row + full B5
implementation note. CLAUDE.md kept lean ([skip-docs]); B5 fully documented in
README + scanner-internals.
Mechanism verified 2026-06-23 against code.claude.com/docs context-window.md
(additionalContext enters context; plain stdout does not). Suite 1239 -> 1254 green.
Version/badges/CHANGELOG wait for the v5.10 release cut.

Verified 2026-06-20 against hooks.md + the 2.1.169 changelog: the
`post-session` hook in that changelog is a SELF-HOSTED-RUNNER
workspace-lifecycle hook (runs after the session, before the workspace
is deleted), NOT a settings.json hook event. It is absent from
hooks.md's 30-event list (all PascalCase), so config-audit was wrongly
treating a bogus `post-session` settings hook as valid — it now flags it.
Restructured the event test suite accordingly and added a negative test.
Resolved U1/U2 in the v5.5 plan (U1 refuted → removed; U2 `outputStyles`
plugin.json key confirmed → PLH unchanged). Suite stays 954, self-audit A/A.

HKV: add Setup, UserPromptExpansion, PostToolBatch to VALID_EVENTS,
verified live against code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks.md (2026-06-19). A
valid hook using one of these was wrongly flagged "will never fire" — a
user could delete a working hook. Made the "(N total)" hint dynamic so
it can't drift again. Flagged the unverified kebab 'post-session' in a
comment (an existing test depends on it; follow-up check needed).
RUL: reword the globs finding. Only `paths:` is documented; whether CC
ever read `globs` is unverified, so the old "deprecated/legacy" framing
overclaimed (Verifiseringsplikt). New wording steers to the documented
`paths:` field. Updated the coupled fix-engine title match and the
humanizer entry (which also carried the "field was renamed" overclaim).
Suite 950 -> 954 (badge bumped). self-audit A/A, scanner count 13. No
version bump — these land in the pending v5.4.1 patch.

Devil's advocate gap-verification (read-only Workflow, 9 skeptics) refuted the
blanket "all closed" claim by finding fix-cli.test.mjs was the one CLI-spawning
test still reading the real ~/.claude. fix-cli runs the SKL skill-listing
scanner (HOME-scoped) even with includeGlobal:false, so its manual findings
include CA-SKL-001 on a dev machine but not in clean CI.
This directly corrects 325182d, which listed fix-cli.test.mjs as "Proven safe,
left as-is (output byte-identical real vs empty HOME — fixable findings are
project-local HKV/RUL/SET, never SKL/COL)". That reasoning predated SKL being
wired into scan-orchestrator (7bb2547/66433fe) and was false: real HOME yields
manual=6 (incl. CA-SKL-001), hermetic manual=5 (5230 vs 4798 bytes).
- wrap all 5 fix-cli spawns in hermeticEnv() (matches the other 11 CLI tests)
- add a regression lock: a project-scoped run must surface no CA-SKL/CA-COL
- redirect the --apply backup check to HERMETIC_HOME — the test was also
writing backups into the real ~/.config-audit/backups on every run
- docs: stale "26 hook events" -> 28 (README:528, scanner-internals:73);
hook-validator.mjs comment April -> June 2026 (functional count already 28)
Re-audited all 12 CLI-spawning test files: 11 hermetic-helper, manifest custom
HOME-env, post-edit-verify safe-by-construction (early-exit only, never reaches
scanners). HOME-leak class now actually closed. Suite 875/875, no snapshot drift.

Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase
analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research
briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment.
New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg.
New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher,
security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet).
New template: research-brief-template.md.
Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research
briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning
orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis.
Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at
right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline:
ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute.
