uphold hook judges a tool call where gh would judge the same act (#450) - #453
Implements #450. uphold hook now judges a tool call where the shim would judge the same act made through gh: a read publishes no text, and a write is judged under each rule's scope at the repository it names.
What changes
A [[hook]] policy table.tools is a regular expression over tool_name. skip lists the reads by exact name: the part of the tool name after the tools match. target = "forge-repo" takes forge = "github" and owner/repo JSON pointers (RFC 6901; the empty pointer is refused, and REFERENCE.md says why). The table also takes either shim = "<command>" or scope/unresolved. Each table is parsed once at load into a type that carries its checks.
A compiled-in table for the GitHub MCP server (policy/hook.default.toml). It lists the read tools of github-mcp-server v2.0.3, and its shim = "gh" takes scope and unresolved from the repository's own [[shim]] for gh. A repository's own tables are read first. A server pointed at GitHub Enterprise is not one this table describes, and REFERENCE.md gives the fail-safe override.
One rule body for both seams. The destination is asked of github.com by name, through the shim's resolver (named_standing), whatever GH_HOST says. A rule's scope comes from own_scope; "could not tell" becomes refuse or run in runs; ran_unchecked prints the run notice. All of these live in shim/destination.rs and are shared with the shim. Repository-name segments go through name_segment, also shared.
A read is judged as a call carrying no strings: only rules about the tool name are asked. Under --junit every other rule is recorded as skipped, out of scope.
Refused at load: a GitLab forge (no host field yet), target = "git-remote", a shim naming no declared [[shim]], malformed pointers or skip names, and an unresolved no scope can reach.
Where this departs from the issue's plan
The GitHub table is compiled in, not shipped by private-names and published-text. Every set and repository with a command rule would otherwise need its own copy.
shim = "gh" instead of a hard-coded scope. The same act gets the same answer through MCP and through gh.
Plan case 3 holds for no-published-private-repo-names only.no-private-repo-names from private-names still refuses a private-to-private write. gh issue create refuses it today for the same reason: it judges against this repository's declared visibility.
Verified
cargo test: every suite passes. The new tests are in tests/hook_cli.rs and src/hook/table.rs. an_npm_git_dependency_under_another_owner_is_refused_by_name fails locally on main as well, so it is outside this change.
Live, against this repository's policy: a read of a private repository passes; a public write naming a private repository is refused; host identity at a private destination is refused; a tool no table names exits 2.
A `[[hook]]` table in policy names which tool calls publish and where
they go. A call its `skip` list matches is a read and is not judged; a
judged call has its destination read at the `owner` and `repo` JSON
pointers and asked of the named forge through the shim's own resolver
(`named_standing`), and each rule with a `command` section is judged
under its own `command.scope` or the table's. `shim = "gh"` takes the
scope and `unresolved` from the repository's own `[[shim]]` for gh, so
the two seams cannot disagree about one act.
The GitHub MCP server's table is compiled in from
policy/hook.default.toml and read after a repository's own, rather than
shipped by the sets: every set with a `command` rule, and every
repository declaring one of its own, would otherwise carry a copy.
A call no table names, or a named call without its destination, is
unresolved for every rule whose scope needs a destination, and refuses
by default (exit 2), as ruled on #450.
`text::judged`, `prose::over_text` and `patterns_over` take the scope
each rule is asked under; `scan --text` and `guard --text` pass every
rule in scope, as before. The shim's `command` scope arm moves into
`command_standing`, shared with the hook.

Walkthrough
The pull request adds policy-defined hook tables for matching tool calls, skipping reads, resolving forge destinations, and applying scope to rule evaluation. It adds compiled GitHub defaults, configuration validation, documentation, and tests for hook outcomes.
Changes: Policy-Defined Hook Scoping
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Hook policy contract and loading docs/schema/principles.schema.json, src/config.rs, policy/hook.default.toml, docs/REFERENCE.md
The schema and policy loader support repository hook tables and compiled-in defaults. The loader rejects inherited hook tables and validates hook configuration. The reference documents matching, destination, scope, and unresolved-call behavior.
Destination resolution and scope answers src/hook/table.rs, src/shim.rs, src/shim/destination.rs
Hook tables validate tool patterns and destination fields. Per-call scoping resolves destinations and evaluates table, shim, or rule scope. Shared helpers handle scope answers and unresolved behavior.

This PR adds a [[hook]] policy table, which tells uphold hook two things about a tool call: whether it publishes, and to which repository. A call whose name, after the part tools matches, is listed in skip counts as a read. Its text rules are recorded as out of scope, and only rules about the tool's name are asked. Any other call has its destination read from tool_input using RFC 6901 pointers. That destination is checked against github.com through named_standing, which is new code split out of the shim's scope_answer, and it is also passed to the text guards. Each rule with a command section is judged under its own command.scope, or else the table's scope. With shim = "gh", the table's scope and unresolved come from the repository's own [[shim]] for gh. Rules with no command section run as before. Two kinds of call are unresolved: a call no table names, and a call whose table names a destination the call doesn't carry. Both are refused with exit 2 unless unresolved = "run" is set.
A default table for the GitHub MCP server (direct and plugin-installed) is compiled in from policy/hook.default.toml. It skips the reads that github-mcp-server v2.0.3 ships, each listed by name. The first table that matches a call decides it, and the repository's own tables are read before the default, so a repository can override it.
At load time, uphold refuses:
a tools value that isn't a valid regular expression
skip entries that aren't plain names
pointers that aren't valid RFC 6901, and the empty pointer
a destination with only some of target, forge, owner and repo
target = "git-remote", forge = "gitlab" and scope = "public-registry"
shim written beside scope or unresolved
a shim naming a command no [[shim]] covers
an unresolved that can never come into play
[[hook]] tables in inherited files
The shim's shared pieces were pulled out so both seams use them: forge_standing, command_standing, runs, ran_unchecked, own_scope and name_segment. text::judged, prose::over_text and patterns_over now take a destination and a per-rule scope question. REFERENCE.md and the JSON Schema document the table, and new integration and unit tests cover reads, writes, unresolved cases, load refusals and the GitHub Enterprise host.
I checked the change against each principle in the review document and found nothing this change violates. Specific things checked:
RFC 6901 pointers: the standard is cited, its own examples are tested, and the one departure (the empty pointer) is written down.
Copied skip list: it names its source and version, and a tool missing from it is judged, not passed.
set_aside: it shares literal_rules with failures_in, and its guard and prose filters match what judged asks.
Refusal for unnamed calls: it explains at the point of use how to recover.
Changes
File
Change
docs/REFERENCE.md
Rewrites the hook matcher text to say the policy decides which calls are judged and where they go, and adds a section for [[hook]] covering its fields, the compiled-in GitHub table, GitHub Enterprise servers, how reads and writes are treated, unresolved calls and load refusals.
docs/schema/principles.schema.json
Adds the Hook, HookForge and HookTarget definitions and the top-level hook array.
policy/hook.default.toml
New compiled-in [[hook]] table for the GitHub MCP server (direct and plugin-installed). It skips the reads github-mcp-server v2.0.3 ships, points at /owner and /repo on github.com, and takes its scope from shim = "gh".
src/config.rs
Parses [[hook]] into PolicyFile/Policy, refuses hook tables in inherited files, loads the repository's tables first and then the compiled-in defaults, and checks that a named shim exists and that unresolved can come into play.
src/hook.rs
Finds the table that names the call, treats skipped reads as tool-name-only (with text rules recorded as set aside), and passes the call's destination and a per-rule scope question into text::judged. The module docs are updated.
src/hook/table.rs
New module: Written (the table as written) is loaded into Table (tools regex, skip names, destination pointers, where its scope and unresolved come from), plus Scoping, which works out the destination and the per-rule standing for one call, asking each predicate once. Includes unit tests.
src/main.rs
guard --text passes no destination and has every rule in scope under the new judged signature.
src/prose.rs
over_text asks the caller whether each prose rule is in scope and records it as out of scope when not.
src/shim.rs
Re-exports the destination helpers the hook uses, and derives PartialEq/Eq on Scope.
src/shim/destination.rs
Pulls out forge_standing, command_standing, named_standing (asks github.com by hostname), name_segment (which now also rejects . and ..), own_scope, runs and ran_unchecked, and has the shim call them.
src/text.rs
judged takes a destination and a scope question and passes them to the guards, prose and pattern rules. The literal rules are pulled out into literal_rules, and set_aside is added to record the text rules as out of scope for a skipped read.
tests/hook_cli.rs
Adds a stub forge and integration tests for: reads, public and private writes, host identity, calls no table names, unresolved = "run", missing destinations, load refusals, inherited tables, the GH_HOST and enterprise cases, public-registry, GitLab, git-remote, the JUnit record for a skipped read, and tool-name rules on reads. One existing test now uses a write tool.
tests/publication_paths.rs
Adds a [[hook]] table that ties the create_publication tool to the faux shim.

Where practical, encode invariants in constructors, types, schemas, or state machines so downstream code receives only valid states.
Which invalid combinations recur in checks or incidents?
Can the invariant be enforced once at construction?
Does the representation include real transitional states rather than pretending they do not exist?
The record says invariants should be encoded where input crosses a boundary, so that it is "parsed once into a type that carries the check, rather than validated and passed on as the raw value". Table breaks this at load:
tools and skip stay raw Strings. validate() compiles them only to throw the result away. names() and skips() compile them again on every call through compiled(), which returns a Result whose error the load has already ruled out. Its own doc comment says so: "A pattern a load has already compiled, compiled again where it is used". hook.rs:296 and :302 then pass that impossible error on with ?.
target, forge, owner and repo are four independent fields, and validate() enforces that the last three appear together with ForgeRepo. destination() (lines 181-189) then repeats the same check as a let-else, with an error branch the load has already made unreachable.
shim versus scope/unresolved is also a check made at load time, not a shape of the type.
Each of these is a combination the representation still allows, so downstream code has to re-check it.
🤖 Prompt for AI agents
In src/hook/table.rs, parse a `[[hook]]` table once at load into a type that carries its checks, instead of validating raw fields and keeping them:
(1) Keep the serde struct (lines 31-69) as the input shape. Add a loaded form whose `tools: Regex` and `skip: Vec<Regex>` are compiled once in `validate`, so that `names`/`skips` (lines 102-115) return `bool` and `compiled()` (line 73) goes away. Update the callers in src/hook.rs (lines ~293-304) to drop the `?`.
(2) Represent the destination as one value, e.g. `enum Destination { None, ForgeRepo { forge: Forge, owner: String, repo: String } }`, so `Table::destination` (lines 181-189) needs no `let`-else for a combination the load refused.
(3) Represent the answer source as `enum Answers { Shim(String), Own { scope: Option<Scope>, unresolved: Option<Unresolved> } }`.
Keep the refusal messages in `validate` as they are. Update `Policy.hooks` and `hook_defaults`/`validate_hooks` in src/config.rs (lines ~2253-2255 and ~2853-2900) to produce the loaded form. Adjust the unit tests at the end of table.rs.

Review on #453 (make-illegal-states-unrepresentable): the table was
validated at load and kept as raw strings, so `names` and `skips`
recompiled each pattern on every call and returned an error the load
had ruled out, and `destination` re-checked a combination the load had
refused.
`Written` is now the serde shape and `Written::load` parses it into
`Table`: compiled `Regex`es, a destination that is whole or absent, and
`Answers` naming one source for scope and `unresolved`. `names` and
`skips` return `bool`. Removed: `compiled` (nothing compiles twice),
`Table::validate` (folded into `Written::load`) and `validate_hooks`
(now `load_hooks`, which returns the loaded tables), and `Table::answers`
(renamed `answered`, since `answers` is now the field naming its source). Its refusal
message also lost stray runs of spaces from a broken line continuation.
The schema names the table `Hook`.

Defer extracting a shared abstraction until the third occurrence of similar code, because two instances rarely reveal which differences are incidental and which are the parameter.
Is the difference between these copies a single value, or is the axis of variation still unknown?
How many copies exist now, including those outside this change, and who would notice the next one?
If the abstraction is extracted now, which instance's quirks would it encode as the general case?
Do these copies carry a fact that must stay identical, so that drift would be a defect?
This is the third hand-written copy of "what counts as a repository name". The other two are gh_repository_target in src/shim/destination.rs and Remote::validate in src/remote_policy.rs, and the new copy has already drifted from them on the very fact they share. It splits each pointer's value on '/' and checks the pieces one by one, so a slash inside a single value is accepted. An owner of "acme/widget" with repo"issues" produces the target acme/widget/issues, and the forge gets asked about that path. The comment just above says a value in a shape no forge name has "is not asked". docs/REFERENCE.md says a value that "is not a repository name" is unresolved. Both other copies require exactly owner/repo. The record's review question asks: "Do these copies carry a fact that must stay identical, so that drift would be a defect?" They do, and the drift here is the defect. The check also ignores forge: on GitHub neither value may contain '/', and a GitLab repo may not either; only a GitLab owner can be a nested group path.

In src/hook/table.rs, lines 241-258 (the `read` closure inside `Table::destination`), the check that a pointer value is a repository name splits the value on '/' and validates each piece, so it accepts `owner = "acme/widget"` or `repo = "widget/issues"` and sends a non-repository path to the forge. Change it so that `repo` must be a single segment on both forges and `owner` must be a single segment when `forge` is `Forge::GitHub`, keeping the existing empty, '.', '..' and character checks. Allow multiple '/'-separated segments only for a GitLab `owner`, if subgroups are meant to be supported. Prefer one shared segment check used by both this code and `gh_repository_target` in src/shim/destination.rs (and, if it fits, `Remote::validate` in src/remote_policy.rs) over a third copy. Add cases to the `a_missing_or_malformed_destination_is_unresolved` unit test, e.g. `{"owner": "acme/widget", "repo": "issues"}` and `{"owner": "acme", "repo": "widget/issues"}`, and assert both are errors.
Count only rules that run at the hook when validating [[hook]]unresolved.
validate_hooks accepts unresolved on a [[hook]] table when any rule in the policy has command.scope = "public-target". It does not check whether that rule runs at the hook. A rule limited to the shim does not run at the hook, so it cannot make the table's unresolved setting take effect. The load still accepts the setting.
For example, a table with scope = "always" and unresolved = "run" loads when an unrelated rule has seams = ["shim"] and command.scope = "public-target". The table's hook calls never reach that rule, and its unresolved value is never read.
The error text and the doc comment say the setting is accepted only where a call from that table can reach a scope that fails to answer. Require the rule to run at the hook before it counts.
Existing tests for [[hook]]unresolved may need an updated fixture so they cover a rule that runs at the hook.

Reject unknown shim names in [[hook]] tables at load.
A [[hook]] table whose shim names no [[shim]] table loads without error. Table::answers then returns the default scope and unresolved, which are always and refuse. A command-scoped rule that writes no scope of its own therefore applies to every destination. That includes private destinations, which the intended shim would stand down for under public-target.
The load does not catch the typo. Table::validate checks regular expressions, JSON pointers, target fields and scope conflicts, but not shim. validate_hooks does not receive the policy's shim list, so it cannot check the name either.
Consequence: with shim = "gH" on a table for a server whose calls mirror gh, the rule runs against private-repository calls. A gh table with public-target would have stood those calls down, because forge_standing returns DoesNotHold for any visibility other than public. The rule then refuses legitimate private work.
Remedy direction: in validate_hooks, reject any [[hook]] whose shim is not declared in [[shim]]. The message should name the table and the missing command. Before adding this check, confirm the contents of hook_defaults(). If a built-in default names a shim that a policy may not declare, the check must skip that table.

Minor · Reject [[hook]] tables in bundled sets, or adopt them. · config.rs:1050-1051
Reject [[hook]] tables in bundled sets, or adopt them.
parse_bundled accepts a [[hook]] table in a bundled set and loads the set without error. The set merge then adopts only .rules. The table is dropped, and the hook dispatch never sees it. A repository that inherits the set gets no skip or destination scope from the table, and nothing reports that.
The current bundled sets declare no hook tables, so this is latent. It becomes reachable when a set author adds a [[hook]] table.
The rest of the set path already refuses constructs it would otherwise drop silently. A [[shim]] in a set is refused, and the comment states that a vanished table is worse than either answer. An inherited file's [[hook]] is refused for the same reason. A set's [[hook]] has no such check.
Safe correction: refuse [[hook]] in parse_bundled, next to the existing [[shim]] refusal. The compiled-in hook tables use their own loader (hook_defaults), so this refusal does not affect them.

Minor · Reject RFC 6901 escapes other than ~0 and ~1 when the [[hook]] table… · table.rs:131-137
Reject RFC 6901 escapes other than ~0 and ~1 when the [[hook]] table loads.
Table::validate checks only that each owner and repo pointer starts with /. It does not check escape sequences. RFC 6901 allows ~ only as ~0 or ~1, so a pointer such as /owner/~2 loads even though it is not a valid JSON pointer.
The bad pointer can cause a refusal at runtime only when all of these hold:
The rule's scope resolves to public-target. Command-scoped and always rules do not read these pointers.
The call is not skipped as a read.
The call input does not contain the literal key that the pointer names. serde_json::Value::pointer decodes only ~0 and ~1, so /owner/~2 looks up the literal key ~2.
When these hold, Table::destination returns an Err that names the pointer. Table::standing maps that Err to Standing::CouldNotTell. With the default unresolved = "refuse", Table::holds returns a Fatal, and the call exits with code 2. With unresolved = "run", the destination-scoped checks are skipped for that call, and a warning is printed.
Reject the escape at load, because the pointer text alone decides whether it is valid:

Make the hook tests detect a missing or wrong GitHub host.
hook_with_forge leaves the ambient GH_HOST in place. forge_stub matches the visibility argv and never reads GH_HOST. A hook probe that omits --hostname, or that reads a different ambient host, receives the same stub answers. The public and private assertions still pass in that case. An extra --hostname argument does fail, because it falls through to the *) branch and exits 1. Omitted or misbound hosts are not detected.
The hook's visibility probe for the GitHub forge must target github.com, whatever GH_HOST is set to. Cover that in the hook tests:
In hook_with_forge, set GH_HOST explicitly, so the tests do not depend on the developer's environment.
In forge_stub, accept a trailing --hostname github.com on each visibility branch. When GH_HOST names a host other than github.com, fail any visibility probe that lacks this flag or carries a different value.
Add a hook test that sets GH_HOST to an enterprise host and checks a public github.com destination. Assert that the gh.asked log records --hostname github.com.
Until the hook sends this flag, the new assertion fails. That failure reflects the separate production change. This comment covers the test change only.

Make the documented GitHub matchers cover plugin-installed servers.
The compiled-in [[hook]] table judges plugin-installed GitHub tools. Its tools regex is ^mcp__(plugin_[a-z0-9_-]+_)?github__, so a name such as mcp__plugin_<plugin>_github__create_pull_request is judged. The installation examples use a different matcher. Each Claude Code and Codex example in README.md and docs/REFERENCE.md uses mcp__github__.*. That pattern requires the literal prefix mcp__github__, which a plugin-prefixed name does not contain. The harness decides which calls reach uphold hook, and the binary has no second matcher. An operator who installs the GitHub server through a plugin and copies an example can send those calls past the hook. Those calls can then publish without an uphold verdict.
The PR text makes this worse. The new text says the example "matches the GitHub MCP server," and it removes the instruction to "adjust the matcher to the publishing tools you use."
Use a plugin-aware matcher in each example. For example, in docs/REFERENCE.md:
Apply the same change to the other Claude Code and Codex examples: docs/REFERENCE.md lines 3163 and 3173, and README.md lines 331 and 341. Check the group syntax against the supported Claude Code and Codex matcher dialects first. The repository does not define that dialect.
The comment at policy/hook.default.toml:16-17 describes the table correctly. The fix belongs in the installation examples.

L568: To pass pre-constructed JSON or payloads in other formats, a request body may be read from file specified by `--input`. Use `-` to read from standard input. When passing the request body this way, any parameters specified via field flags are added to the query string of the endpoint URL.
L569: In `--paginate` mode, all pages of results will sequentially be requested until there are no more pages of results. For GraphQL requests, this requires that the original query accepts an `$endCursor: String` variable and that it fetches the `pageInfo{ hasNextPage, endCursor }` set of fields from a collection. Each page is a separate JSON array or object. Pass `--slurp` to wrap all pages of JSON arrays or objects into an outer JSON array.
L570: ### Options
L571: `--allow-escape-sequences`
L572: Allow printing terminal escape sequences
L573: `--cache <duration>`

L547: ## gh environment
L548:
L549: `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication token that will be used when a command targets either `github.com` or a subdomain of `ghe.com`. Setting this avoids being prompted to authenticate and takes precedence over previously stored credentials.
L550:
L551: `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication token that will be used when a command targets a GitHub Enterprise Server host.
L552: `GH_HOST`: specify the GitHub hostname for commands where a hostname has not been provided, or cannot be inferred from the context of a local Git repository. If this host was previously authenticated with, the stored credentials will be used. Otherwise, setting `GH_TOKEN` or `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` is required, depending on the targeted host.
L553:
L554: `GH_REPO`: specify the GitHub repository in the `[HOST/]OWNER/REPO` format for commands that otherwise operate on a local repository.
L555: `GH_EDITOR`, `GIT_EDITOR`, `VISUAL`, `EDITOR` (in order of precedence): the editor tool to use for authoring text.
L556:
L557: `GH_BROWSER`, `BROWSER` (in order of precedence): the web browser to use for opening links.
L558:
L559: `GH_DEBUG`: set to a truthy value to enable verbose output on standard error. Set to `api` to additionally log details of HTTP traffic.
L560:
L561: `DEBUG` (deprecated): set to `1`, `true`, or `yes` to enable verbose output on standard error.
L562: `GH_PAGER`, `PAGER` (in order of precedence): a terminal paging program to send standard output to, e.g. `less`.
L563:
L564: `GLAMOUR_STYLE`: the style to use for rendering Markdown. See 【249†https://github.com/charmbracelet/glamour#styles†github.com】
L565:
L566: `NO_COLOR`: set to any value to avoid printing ANSI escape sequences for color output.
L567:
L568: `CLICOLOR`: set to `0` to disable printing ANSI colors in output.
L569:
L570: `CLICOLOR_FORCE`: set to a value other than `0` to keep ANSI colors in output even when the output is piped.
L571: `GH_COLOR_LABELS`: set to any value to display labels using their RGB hex color codes in terminals that support truecolor.
L572:
L573: `GH_ACCESSIBLE_COLORS` (preview): set to a truthy value to use customizable, 4-bit accessible colors.
L574: `GH_FORCE_TTY`: set to any value to force terminal-style output even when the output is redirected. When the value is a number, it is interpreted as the number of columns available in the viewport. When the value is a percentage, it will be applied against the number of columns available in the current viewport.
L575: `GH_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER`: set to any value to disable GitHub CLI update notifications. When any command is executed, gh checks for new versions once every 24 hours. If a newer version was found, an upgrade notice is displayed on standard error.
L576: `GH_NO_EXTENSION_UPDATE_NOTIFIER`: set to any value to disable GitHub CLI extension update notifications. When an extension is executed, gh checks for new versions for the executed extension once every 24 hours. If a newer version was found, an upgrade notice is displayed on standard error.
L577:
L578: `GH_EXTENSION`: set to `1` by gh when it invokes an extension, allowing an extension to tell whether it was run as `gh <extension>` or directly as a standalone program.
L579: `GH_CONFIG_DIR`: the directory where gh will store configuration files. If not specified, the default value will be one of the following paths (in order of precedence):
L580:
L581: * `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gh` (if `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set),

`GH_PROMPT_DISABLED`: set to any value to disable interactive prompting in the terminal.
`GH_PATH`: set the path to the gh executable, useful for when gh can not properly determine its own path such as in the cygwin terminal. gh also sets this when invoking extensions so they can call back into the same gh executable.
`GH_MDWIDTH`: default maximum width for markdown render wrapping. The max width of lines wrapped on the terminal will be taken as the lesser of the terminal width, this value, or 120 if not specified. This value is used, for example, with `pr view` subcommand.
`GH_ACCESSIBLE_PROMPTER` (preview): set to a truthy value to enable prompts that are more compatible with speech synthesis and braille screen readers.
`GH_TELEMETRY`: set to `log` to print telemetry data to standard error instead of sending it. Set to `false` or `0` to disable telemetry. Takes precedence over `DO_NOT_TRACK`.
`DO_NOT_TRACK`: set to `true` or `1` to disable telemetry. Ignored when `GH_TELEMETRY` is set, which takes precedence.
`GH_SPINNER_DISABLED`: set to a truthy value to replace the spinner animation with a textual progress indicator.</excerpt>

Pin the hook's GitHub visibility lookup to github.com.
named_standing builds its Destination with hostname: None (src/shim/destination.rs:299). Shim::visibility adds --hostname only when hostname is set (src/shim/destination.rs:216-218). Without that flag, gh api uses the GH_HOST host when the variable is set. inner_tool adds only an internal marker and does not remove or pin GH_HOST (src/shim.rs:5414-5421).
When GH_HOST names a GitHub Enterprise host, a repository with the same owner and name there can answer with a visibility other than public. forge_standing maps any value other than public to Standing::DoesNotHold (src/shim/destination.rs:258-259). The hook table maps DoesNotHold to false (src/hook/table.rs:306-307), so a public-target rule for the github.com target is not applied. Text that the rule refuses on the public github.com repository can then pass.
The trigger needs the enterprise host to be authenticated. If it is not, gh fails, the result is Standing::CouldNotTell, and the rule refuses.
Every Forge::GitHub destination is github.com. Forge::of_url accepts only github.com hosts as GitHub (src/shim.rs:3534-3537). Pinning the hook's lookup to that host removes the ambient dependency. The GitLab arm does not read hostname, so it is unchanged.

Update the Destination constructed by named_standing to set hostname to
github.com instead of None, pinning GitHub visibility lookups to the canonical
host while leaving the GitLab behavior unchanged.

Review on #453:
- `named_standing` built its destination with no hostname, so `gh api`
answered for `GH_HOST`: under an enterprise host, a same-named
repository there could stand a `public-target` rule down for the
github.com one. A GitHub destination is now asked with `--hostname
github.com`, and the test forge answers only that question.
- The hook read `owner = "acme/widget"` with `repo = "issues"` as a
destination and asked the forge about that path. Each value is now one
segment, but a GitLab owner, which may be a group path. The segment

also refuses a `.` or `..` segment.
- A rule the hook judges with `command.scope = "public-registry"` could
never be answered there, so every call carrying text was refused. It
is refused at load, naming `seams = ["shim"]` as the way out.

A program that holds authority of its own and acts on a resource a less privileged requester designated, checking only its own authority, becomes an instrument through which the requester reaches what it could not reach directly.
Whose authority does this code exercise when it acts on a name it was handed?
Which inputs designate a resource, and who supplied them?
Could a caller, or text a caller controls, direct this deputy at something the caller cannot reach itself?
When an agent or shim acts for a user, is the target checked against the user's authority or only against its own?
The hook takes a repository name from the tool call and asks a forge about it using the operator's own forge client. For GitHub, the PR asks github.com by name, and the docs explain why: "an enterprise repository of the same name is somebody else's". forge = "gitlab" is a new option in the schema, but here it gets hostname: None. Shim::visibility then runs glab api projects/<path> with no --hostname, so the answer comes from whatever host glab is set to: GITLAB_HOST, the checkout's remote, or its configured default. That host is not necessarily the one the MCP server publishes to. If a self-hosted project with the same path is private, the private answer stands down public-target rules for a write into a public gitlab.com project. The PR names this exact problem for GitHub but leaves GitLab exposed. This fails the record's question "Whose authority does this code exercise when it acts on a name it was handed?": the name is checked against the deputy's ambient configuration, not the destination the call designates.

In src/shim/destination.rs, `named_standing` (around lines 300-309) sets `hostname` only for `Forge::GitHub`, and the `Forge::GitLab` arm of `Shim::visibility` (around lines 225-229) ignores `destination.hostname` entirely. Make a GitLab destination named in a `[[hook]]` table be asked of a definite host, not glab's ambient one. Either pass `--hostname gitlab.com` (or a host the table states, if you add an explicit `host` field to `[[hook]]` in src/hook/table.rs and the schema), and have the GitLab arm of `visibility` add `--hostname` when `destination.hostname` is set. Then add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs next to `a_github_destination_is_asked_of_github_com_under_an_enterprise_gh_host`: a stub `glab` that answers only when given the expected `--hostname`, run with `GITLAB_HOST` set to another host.

Table::answered looks up the [[shim]] table that shim = "<command>" names. If there is none, map_or_else(Default::default, ...) silently falls back to (always, refuse). load_hooks and Written::load refuse a long list of malformed tables, but a repository's own [[hook]] with shim = "glab" (or a typo) and no matching [[shim]] loads cleanly. Its calls are then judged under a scope the author never wrote. The docs promise that shim takes scope and unresolved from that [[shim]] table, so the policy cannot mean what it says, and the record's question "Can invalid policy be rejected before execution?" is answered no. The compiled-in GitHub default has to tolerate a repository with no gh shim, but a table the repository wrote itself does not.

Review on #453:
- confused-deputy: `forge = "gitlab"` asked `glab` with no host, so a
same-named private project on whichever instance glab is configured
for could stand a `public-target` rule down for a public gitlab.com
one -- the gap the previous commit closed for GitHub. `forge` now takes
`github` alone (`HookForge`); a GitLab destination waits for a field
that names its host. `Forge` loses the serde derives it took for this.
- mechanism-policy-separation: a repository's own table with `shim =
"glab"`, or a typo, and no such `[[shim]]` loaded and was judged under
defaults nobody wrote. It is refused at load. The compiled-in table
still serves a repository with no `gh` shim.

Least Astonishment asks: "If this changes a default, what does a user who upgrades without reading anything experience?" This check runs in Rule::validate, which every load runs, so it fires at every seam: uphold check, the git hooks, scan --text and the shim, not just uphold hook. Before this change, a guard with command.scope = "public-registry" loaded fine, and the hook judged it with every rule in scope. A host-identity or private-names guard scoped to npm publish to the public registry is a reasonable thing to have written. After upgrading, that policy refuses to load everywhere, including in a repository that never installed the harness hook. Guards cannot opt out with seams ("A guard runs at every seam its kind runs at"), so the only cure offered is to change the guard's scope at the shim or drop the rule. That makes a hook-only limitation rewrite how the shim behaves. The PR description does not mention this break. The hook already has a local answer for this case: Scoping::standing returns CouldNotTell for PublicRegistry, and that answer goes through the table's unresolved.

In src/config/rule.rs, `validate_seams` (lines 1947-1968) now refuses at load, for every subcommand, any rule judged at `Seam::Hook` whose `command.scope` is `public-registry`. Guards cannot set `seams`, so a policy that loaded before this PR (for example a host-identity guard with `command.before = ["npm publish"]` and `command.scope = "public-registry"`) now fails to load at `check`, the git hooks and the shim. Keep the refusal from breaking unrelated seams. One option is to limit the load-time refusal to Prose/Patterns rules, where `seams = ["shim"]` is a real cure, and let a guard with that scope be handled at the hook by `Scoping::standing` in src/hook/table.rs (it already returns `CouldNotTell` for `PublicRegistry` and goes through `unresolved`). Another is to stand such a guard down at the hook and say so. Update the matching paragraph in docs/REFERENCE.md (the sentence beginning "A rule the hook judges with `command.scope = \"public-registry\"` is refused too"). Add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs showing that a guard scoped `public-registry` still loads and runs at the shim.
Review on #453 (least-astonishment): refusing a rule the hook judges
under `command.scope = "public-registry"` at load refused the whole
policy at every seam -- `uphold check`, the git hooks, the shim -- for a
limit of the hook alone, and a guard had no `seams` to opt out with. The
load check is gone; at the hook the scope is unresolved, as it already
was, and the refusal now names the rule it was asked for and, for a
`public-registry` scope, `seams = ["shim"]`.
The test `a_public_registry_rule_the_hook_judges_is_refused_at_load`
is renamed `a_public_registry_rule_is_unresolved_at_the_hook_and_loads_elsewhere`,
which also runs `scan --text` to show the policy still loads.

Is the same rule body reached from every seam, or has it been reimplemented per seam?
Complete Mediation asks: "Is the same rule body reached from every seam, or has it been reimplemented per seam?" The PR's goal is that the hook and the shim "cannot disagree about one act". But Scoping::holds and Scoping::standing write a second copy of the shim's scope decision instead of reaching it.
First, the effective scope is worked out again as command.scope.or(table scope) rather than through destination::effective_scope.
Second, the conversion from could-not-tell to unresolved (refuse or run) is copied from CommandContext::holds/standing. That function's own doc says this conversion "lives here rather than at each call site because ... one of them forgetting is the whole defect."
The two copies already differ. The shim prints its run warning once per scope predicate, in standing; the hook prints once per call, in holds, using an "unresolved" sentinel key in the answers memo. Their refusal sentences also differ. A later change to how either seam picks a rule's scope or treats an unanswerable predicate has nothing forcing the other seam to follow, so the seams can come to disagree about the same publication.

In src/hook/table.rs, lines 329-402 (`Scoping::holds` and `Scoping::standing`) copy the shim's scope logic from src/shim/destination.rs (`effective_scope` at ~line 428, and `CommandContext::holds`/`standing` at ~lines 486-525). Make both seams go through one implementation:
(1) Change `effective_scope` so it takes the fallback `&Scope` (or `Option<&Scope>`) instead of a whole `&Shim`, make it `pub(crate)`, and call it from both `CommandContext` and `Scoping::holds`.
(2) Pull the conversion of `Standing` × `Unresolved` into a refuse/run/bool answer into one shared function in src/shim/destination.rs. It should take the seam name for the error and stderr messages, and the remedy sentence. Use it from both `CommandContext::holds` and `Scoping::holds`, so the `run` warning is printed by one rule (once per predicate key) at both seams. Remove the `"unresolved"` sentinel from `Scoping.answers`.
Keep the hook's deliberate differences: it skips `declared_standing`, and it answers `public-registry` with CouldNotTell. Keep every existing test in tests/hook_cli.rs and the shim tests passing.
Review on #453 (complete-mediation): `Scoping::holds` worked out a
rule's scope and turned could-not-tell into refuse or run itself, and
the copy had drifted -- the hook warned once per call under a sentinel
key, the shim once per predicate.
Both seams now call the same three pieces in shim/destination.rs:
`own_scope` (a rule's `command.scope` wins over any table's), `runs`
(the one conversion from a scope answer to whether the rule runs, with
the refusal worded by the seam, whose cure differs), and
`ran_unchecked` (the `run` notice, said by the memo once per predicate).
The hook's memo now keys the no-table answer as well, so its notice
comes from the same place as the shim's.

When a call matches a skip pattern, the hook returns Exit::Clean before Record::new, so it writes no JUnit record and prints nothing on stderr. The docstring above run (lines 181-186) says why a record is written for every call: a hook that writes only sometimes "would make an absent file mean 'passed or never ran', which is the ambiguity the record exists to remove." Skipping without a record brings that ambiguity back. In a --junit evidence directory, a GitHub read that was deliberately skipped now looks the same as a call the hook never saw, such as a harness matcher that stopped firing. This fails the Observability question "Which failure modes can current telemetry distinguish?" The record format can already say this, since the ledger has Answer::OutOfScope, which JUnit renders as skipped.
🤖 Prompt for AI agents
In src/hook.rs, `run` returns `Ok(Exit::Clean)` with no record when the first matching `[[hook]]` table skips the tool (lines 292-297). Change this so a skipped read still leaves evidence it was seen. Open the `Record` (as is done further down, around `Record::new(evidence.map(Place::Directory), Run::Hook(harness.to_owned()))` and `record.open()?`) before or in place of the early return. Write a record with every rule marked `Answer::OutOfScope`, or add a distinct 'skipped as a read by the [[hook]] table for <tools>' outcome if the record types allow it. Then call `record.write(false)?` and return `Exit::Clean`. Do not ask the forge, consistent with the test `a_read_naming_a_private_repository_passes_unjudged`. Update the docstring at lines 181-186 and the REFERENCE.md bullet 'A call a `skip` matches is not judged, and no record is written' to match. Add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs that runs a skipped read with `--junit <dir>` and asserts a record is written showing the call was skipped.
Review on #453 (observability): a call its `[[hook]]` table skips as a
read returned before the record was opened, so in an evidence directory
it looked like a call the hook never saw -- the "passed or never ran" a
record exists to tell apart. It now writes a document naming every rule
the hook would have asked, each skipped as out of scope, through
`text::set_aside`. The literal rules and the running-host fallback come
from `literal_rules`, now shared with `failures_in`, so the two cannot
disagree about which literal rules a text seam runs.

Load the compiled-in hook tables for policy-free calls.
With no policy file, text::load_for returns Policy::default(), so policy.hooks is empty. The compiled-in [[hook]] tables are appended only in load_text. The GitHub read skip in src/hook.rs checks only policy.hooks, so it never applies to a call made without a policy. Such a read reaches the host-identity fallback check. If the read's arguments contain the running user's name, home path, or hostname, the call is refused. policy/hook.default.toml declares GitHub reads as skipped, so this result differs from the documented default.
Apply the compiled-in tables to the policy-free Policy, or add them in load_for. The helpers hook_defaults and load_hooks are private to src/config.rs, so the fix needs a change to their visibility or a new entry point. A one-line diff would not be safe, so none is included. The fallback itself is intended for publication. The defect is limited to reads that carry these strings.

Count only public-target rules that the hook judges in load_hooks.
The unreachable check in load_hooks accepts a [[hook]] table with unresolved when any rule has command.scope = "public-target". It does not check whether the hook judges that rule. A rule with seams = ["shim"] is not judged at the hook, but it still passes the check. A table with scope = "always" and unresolved = "run" then loads. The hook does not apply unresolved in that table, because a table scoped always answers Holds. The setting is accepted and has no effect, which contradicts the error text: "no scope its calls can reach can fail to answer."

Accept unresolved = "run" when a hook-judged public-registry rule can fail to answer.
load_hooks rejects a [[hook]] table that sets a non-default unresolved unless the table scope is public-target or a rule has command.scope = "public-target". A rule with command.scope = "public-registry" does not satisfy this check. At uphold hook, that scope returns CouldNotTell, and unresolved = "run" lets the rule pass unchecked. A table with scope = "always", unresolved = "run", and such a rule therefore fails at load, although the hook would apply run.
The rejection text also says that no reachable scope can fail to answer. For this case, that statement is false.
A focused fix recognizes a hook-judged public-registry rule as a scope that can fail to answer. The load check should match what the hook judges, and the diagnostic should name public-registry. Until then, a user can remove unresolved from the table, or set seams = ["shim"] on the rule. The message's advice to scope the table public-target clears the load error but does not change the rule's behavior, because the rule's own public-registry scope takes precedence at the hook.

Review on #453: the `Hook` schema referenced the shim's `Target`, so an
editor validating against the published schema accepted `target =
"git-remote"` that the load then refused. `HookTarget` has the two
targets a tool call can have, `forge-repo` and `none`, so the schema and
the load say the same thing; serde names both in the refusal.

Is the failure detected at the boundary that owns the invariant?
Would continuing preserve a truthful and safe contract?
Does the error include enough evidence for recovery?
When a call is unresolved, the hook refuses it, and the refusal text in Scoping::holds (src/hook/table.rs) tells the reader they can "write unresolved = "run" on that table to let it through unchecked". The load check here only accepts unresolved = "run" if the table, or some rule with a command section, is scoped public-target. But Scoping::standing always answers a rule's own command.scope = "public-registry" with CouldNotTell at the hook. The PR's own test a_public_registry_rule_is_unresolved_at_the_hook_and_loads_elsewhere exercises exactly that refusal.
Take that test's policy, a public-registry prose rule and no public-target rule, and add [[hook]] tools = '^mcp__github__' unresolved = "run". The policy then fails to load with "no scope its calls can reach can fail to answer", which is false at this seam. So the recovery the refusal offers is itself refused. This fails the fail-fast question "Does the error include enough evidence for recovery?"
REFERENCE.md says both things in the same paragraph: unresolved is refused "where no scope its calls reach can fail to answer", and a public-registry rule "at the hook ... is unresolved".
In src/config.rs, `load_hooks` (the `unreachable` computation around lines 2901-2915) refuses `unresolved = "run"` on a `[[hook]]` table unless something is scoped `public-target`. At the hook, a rule's own `command.scope = "public-registry"` also always comes back could-not-tell (see `Scoping::standing` in src/hook/table.rs), so `unresolved` can matter there too.
1. Change the rule check at lines 2908-2912 so a rule whose `command.scope` is `PublicRegistry` also counts as a scope that can fail to answer.
2. Update the doc comment on `load_hooks` and the error text ("Only `public-target` asks somebody else") to match.
3. Update the sentence in docs/REFERENCE.md's `[[hook]]` section that lists when `unresolved` is refused.
4. Add a test to tests/hook_cli.rs. Use the policy from `a_public_registry_rule_is_unresolved_at_the_hook_and_loads_elsewhere` plus `[[hook]] tools = '^mcp__github__' unresolved = "run"`. Assert that the policy loads and that a `mcp__github__create_issue` call exits 0 with "This is not a pass" on stderr.
Review on #453 (fail-fast): the hook refuses a call whose rule is
scoped `public-registry`, and the refusal names `unresolved = "run"`
as a way out -- which the load then refused, because it counted only
`public-target` as a scope that can fail to answer. A rule's own
`public-registry` counts too: the hook can never answer it. The test
for that refusal now takes the way out as well.

Each authoritative fact should have one explicitly designated ownership and update authority, while replicas, caches, and derived views remain subordinate to that authority.
Which component owns the canonical meaning and writes?
Can every copy explain its source and refresh policy?
What happens when the authority is unavailable?
Is there exactly one writer for this fact, and what stops a second component from writing it?
This PR records the same fact in two places, and the two disagree: which scope answers can come back unresolved at the hook, which decides whether unresolved on a [[hook]] table is ever read. load_hooks counts only public-target. It refuses unresolved on a table unless the table, or some rule's command.scope, is public-target, and its error says "Only public-target asks somebody else". Scoping::standing in src/hook/table.rs (around line 382) disagrees. It also returns Standing::CouldNotTell for a rule whose command.scope is public-registry, and that answer goes through runs() under the table's unresolved. So when a policy has a hook-judged public-registry rule and no public-target scope, a table with unresolved = "run" would have an effect at runtime, yet the load refuses it with an error that is false. The runtime refusal in Scoping::holds names unresolved = "run" on that table as a fix, and the load rejects that fix. The record asks for one owner per fact, and for nothing that stops a second component writing that fact differently. Here the validator and the evaluator each hold their own list of scopes that can fail to answer, and the lists have already drifted apart.

In /workspace/repo/src/config.rs, `load_hooks` (lines 2901-2915) decides whether a `[[hook]]` table's `unresolved` field can ever be read. It treats only `Scope::PublicTarget` as able to come back unresolved. `Scoping::standing` in src/hook/table.rs (around lines 370-395) also returns `Standing::CouldNotTell` for `Scope::PublicRegistry`. Make one function the single owner of "can this scope come back unresolved at the hook", for example a `pub(crate) fn may_be_unresolved(scope: &Scope) -> bool` in src/hook/table.rs. It should return true for PublicTarget and PublicRegistry. Use it both in load_hooks (for the table's scope and for every rule's `command.scope`, counting only rules where `rule.judged_at(Seam::Hook)` or that reach the hook as guards) and wherever `standing` documents its CouldNotTell cases. Update the load error so it no longer says only `public-target` can fail to answer. Add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs: a policy with a `command.scope = "public-registry"` prose rule and a `[[hook]]` table that has `unresolved = "run"` must load, and the hook must let the call through with "This is not a pass" on stderr.

The file's own comment (lines 19-21) says "a tool it does not name is judged, so a write the server adds later is checked the day it ships." But skip is written as open verb classes, __(get|list|search)_ and _(get|list|read|search)$, not as the tools themselves. Any tool whose name contains __get_/__list_/__search_, or ends in _get/_list/_read/_search, is passed unjudged even though nobody named it. That includes tools the server ships later, and today it already includes mark_all_notifications_read, a write, not a read. This is the case the record's review question asks about: "Where a field accepts an expression or a script, what closed value would have served, and why was it not enough?" A closed list of tool names, anchored after the server prefix, covers every real case here. It is also the only form under which the promise in the comment holds, and the only one a reviewer can check against the server's tool list without running the regex. A misclassified write is published with every rule stood down, and nothing shows it in normal use.

In policy/hook.default.toml line 26, replace the verb-class `skip` patterns with an explicit, closed list of the read tools of github/github-mcp-server v2.0.3, each anchored to the end of the tool name after the server prefix (for example `__get_file_contents$`, `__issue_read$`, `__list_issues$`, ...). Take the list from the server's tool definitions for that version, and leave out any tool that changes state (e.g. `mark_all_notifications_read`). Update the comment at lines 19-23 to say that skip names the read tools themselves. Update the matching example and the sentence about verbs in docs/REFERENCE.md (the `[[hook]]` example block, and the paragraph saying the table 'skips the reads by the verbs github/github-mcp-server v2.0.3 names them with'). Add a test in src/hook/table.rs or tests/hook_cli.rs showing that a write whose name ends in `_read` or starts with `get_` but is not in the list is judged, not skipped.
Review on #453 (least-power): `skip` took regular expressions, and the
compiled-in table wrote verb classes -- `__(get|list|search)_`,
`_(get|list|read|search)$` -- so any later tool whose name fit passed
unjudged, against the table's own promise that a tool not named is
judged; `mark_all_notifications_read`, a write, already did. `skip` now
names each read exactly as the server does, the part of the tool name
after its last `__`, and the load refuses an entry that is not a name.
The compiled-in table lists the reads github/github-mcp-server v2.0.3
ships.

An operation should confine its effects to what its name and context already denote to the people who invoke it, and any effect beyond that must be visible at the point of use rather than discoverable only afterwards.
What does the name of this operation promise, and what does it actually touch?
Which of these effects would a user learn about only after they had happened?
If this changes a default, what does a user who upgrades without reading anything experience?
Is the extra behavior disclosed where the decision is made, or only in documentation the user reads later?
Whose expectation is being matched, and what is the evidence that they hold it?
The compiled-in table applies in every repository without the repository writing it. When it lists a call as a read, this block returns Exit::Clean before any rule is asked, and it says nothing at the point of use; the only trace is an out-of-scope entry in a --junit record. That includes rules that judge the call itself rather than published text. A regexp rule with subjects = ["tool"] and seams = ["hook"] refuses a tool by its name. The test docstring calls this refusing "by what the call is rather than by what it says", and REFERENCE.md still says "Tool-name rules also run…". Such a rule written against, say, __search_code$ or __get_file_contents$ ran on every matching call before this change. After an upgrade it silently stops firing for the ~60 tools in policy/hook.default.toml, and the repository wrote no [[hook]] table that asked for this. The review question this fails: "If this changes a default, what does a user who upgrades without reading anything experience?" The answer here is a rule they wrote that no longer fires, and they find out only afterwards.

In /workspace/repo/src/hook.rs lines 292-304, a call the matching `[[hook]]` table lists in `skip` returns `Exit::Clean` before any rule runs, so pattern rules whose subject is the tool name (`subjects` including "tool", `seams` naming "hook") no longer fire on skipped reads. Change the skip path so that `skip` stands down only the rules a destination decides: rules judging published text and scope. Rules that judge the tool's identity must still run on a skipped call. One way is to still run `text::judged` for pattern rules over the `tool` subject on a skipped call, or otherwise exclude tool-subject pattern rules from `text::set_aside`. Alternatively, if skipped calls should bypass every rule, say so in the stderr output where it happens and in the docs/REFERENCE.md "Tool-name rules also run…" paragraph (around line 3207). Add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs: a `regexp` rule with `subjects = ["tool"]`, `seams = ["hook"]` and `command.before = ["gh"]` matching `__get_file_contents$` must still refuse `mcp__github__get_file_contents`.
Review on #453 (least-astonishment): a read the compiled-in table
skips returned before any rule was asked, so a repository's rule that
refuses a tool by its name -- `subjects = ["tool"]`, `seams = ["hook"]`
-- silently stopped firing on every tool the table lists, with nothing
in the repository asking for that.
`skip` now means the call publishes no text. A skipped read is judged
as a call carrying no strings: its tool name is still a subject, every
rule is in scope since a read goes nowhere, and the text rules are
written down as set aside by `text::set_aside`, which no longer lists
the pattern rules because they are asked.

Written::load rejects skip names containing any character outside ASCII letters, digits, underscore and hyphen, although skip is documented as the server's exact tool name after its last double underscore. A server name such as read.file cannot be configured as a read.
Policy loading exits 2, blocking hooked calls rather than allowing that read to be skipped.
This can occur when: A repository adds a hook table for a server that exposes a read tool named read.file and sets skip = ["read.file"].

A rule with seams = ["shim"] passes the check, but no hook call reaches its scope. The setting then changes no hook verdict, and the policy still loads.

Minor · Skip reads by the name after the tools match, not the last __ segment. · table.rs:249-250
Skip reads by the name after the tools match, not the last __ segment.
Table::skips compares only the text after the last __ with skip (src/hook/table.rs:249-250). A tool name with an extra __ segment, such as mcp__github__create_issue__get_file_contents, still matches the default tools pattern. Its last segment, get_file_contents, is listed in skip. hook::run then treats the call as a read and does not collect its text. The literal, guard, and prose checks receive no text and do not run for that call. Tool-name rules still run.
The hook reads tool_name without validating it. Whether a supported harness or server can send such a name is not established.
A safe correction is a contract change, not a one-line edit. The skip key is documented as the name after the last __ (src/hook/table.rs:38-41, docs/REFERENCE.md). Comparing skip with the text after the tools match also requires defining where that match ends. That affects the tools pattern in policy/hook.default.toml, the Written field documentation, the JSON schema, and docs/REFERENCE.md. Changing only Table::skips is unsafe. A tools pattern that stops before the separator leaves a remainder that starts with __. Because skip entries cannot contain __, no read would then be skipped.

Review on #453 (CodeRabbit):
- `skip` compared the last `__` segment of a tool name, so a name that
only ended in a listed read -- `create_issue__get_file_contents` --
passed as one. It now compares the whole remainder after where `tools`
matched; a `tools` pattern that stops short of the separator leaves a
remainder no name equals, and the call is judged.
- On a read, a pattern rule that reads only text found nothing and was
recorded as a pass. Only a rule selecting the `tool` subject is in
scope on a read; the rest are recorded out of scope.
- `unresolved` is accepted for a rule's own scope only where that rule
runs at the hook.
- `owner` and `repo` pointers are held to RFC 6901's escapes: `~` only
as `~0` or `~1`.
- A `skip` name may carry `.`, as an MCP tool name may.
- The `skip` description no longer says a listed call is not judged at
all.

A part whose behavior a published standard specifies should conform to that standard, cite it by number and version, and be tested against its examples or conformance suite, so that peers, tools, and reviewers can check it against a text other than the code.
Which standard specifies what this part reads, writes, or computes, is it cited by number and version where the code is, and has it been obsoleted or amended since?
Which subset or profile of the standard is implemented, and what happens on input that uses the rest?
Is conformance tested against the standard's own examples, test vectors, or conformance suite?
Where this departs from the standard, is the departure written down, and which peers will it break?
The pointer check cites RFC 6901, and its own comment says a pointer "is empty or starts with /". The code still refuses the empty pointer "" (!pointer.starts_with('/') is true for it), and the refusal tells the reader that "" "is not a JSON pointer ... as RFC 6901 spells one". That is false: RFC 6901 §5 defines "" as the pointer to the whole document. The table implements a subset of the standard, which may be the right choice since a whole object is never a string owner. But that departure is not written down, and the refusal blames the standard for it. This fails the record's question: "Where this departs from the standard, is the departure written down?" The same section of docs/REFERENCE.md also calls owner/repo plain "RFC 6901 JSON pointers".

In src/hook/table.rs lines 163-177 (`Written::load`, the owner/repo pointer check), state the departure from RFC 6901 instead of hiding it. The empty pointer "" is valid RFC 6901 (it names the whole document) but is refused here on purpose, because the whole input is never a string. Change the comment to say so. Change the error message so it no longer claims "" is not an RFC 6901 pointer; it should say the empty pointer names the whole input and is refused, and that any other pointer must start with `/`. Add a case to `a_table_the_load_cannot_read_is_refused_naming_why` that sets `owner = Some(String::new())` and checks it is refused with the new wording. Optionally, add a sentence to the `[[hook]]` section of docs/REFERENCE.md noting that the empty pointer is not accepted.
Review on #453 (follow-published-standards): the pointer check refused
the empty pointer and said it was not one "as RFC 6901 spells one",
which is false -- section 5 defines "" as the whole document. The
departure is deliberate, since the whole input is an object and never a
name, and is now said as one: in the field docs, a refusal of its own,
and REFERENCE.md. A test loads each pointer RFC 6901 section 5 gives as
an example, less the empty one, and reads the value the RFC says it
names from the RFC's own document.

Each authoritative fact should have one explicitly designated ownership and update authority, while replicas, caches, and derived views remain subordinate to that authority.
Which component owns the canonical meaning and writes?
Can every copy explain its source and refresh policy?
What happens when the authority is unavailable?
Is there exactly one writer for this fact, and what stops a second component from writing it?
The MCP server's own configuration decides which host its calls publish to. github-mcp-server can be pointed at GitHub Enterprise Server or ghe.com, but this compiled-in table states github.com for every mcp__github__ server: forge = "github" here, and named_standing in src/shim/destination.rs hard-codes hostname = github.com. That second copy of the fact has no source and nothing keeps it in sync with the server. The PR refuses GitLab for exactly this reason (HookForge doc: "a project is on whichever instance its server publishes to, nothing in a table names that host"), and the same holds for this server. If the server is configured for an enterprise host, every write is checked against a different repository: the github.com one with the same owner/repo. If the user can't see that repository, the check can't answer and the call is refused. If the user can see one and it is private, public-target rules are stood down for a destination whose visibility nobody asked. Meanwhile the shim refuses enterprise destinations outright. REFERENCE.md's line "an enterprise repository of the same name is somebody else's" gets this backwards when the enterprise repository is the real destination. This fails the review questions "Which component owns the canonical meaning?" and "Can every copy explain its source?"

In /workspace/repo, the compiled-in `[[hook]]` table in policy/hook.default.toml (lines 26-93, `forge = "github"` at line 90) and `named_standing` in src/shim/destination.rs (lines ~286-309) assume every `mcp__github__` / `mcp__plugin_*_github__` server publishes to github.com. github-mcp-server can be configured for GitHub Enterprise Server or ghe.com, and then `owner/repo` names a repository on that host, not on github.com. Make the github.com assumption something the operator states rather than something taken for granted. Do one of these: (a) document in policy/hook.default.toml, in docs/REFERENCE.md (the `[[hook]]` section, including the sentence "A GitHub destination is asked of github.com whatever `GH_HOST` names...") and in the `HookForge` doc in src/hook/table.rs that the compiled-in table is correct only for a server publishing to github.com, and that a repository whose GitHub MCP server is configured for another host must write its own `[[hook]]` table for those tools with no destination, so the call stays unresolved and is refused instead of being checked against github.com; or (b) add a field naming the host and have the compiled-in table refuse rather than assume one. Add a test in tests/hook_cli.rs covering the documented behaviour, and keep docs/schema/principles.schema.json in sync if any field changes.
Review on #453 (single-authoritative-source): github-mcp-server's host is
the server's own configuration, `--gh-host` or `GITHUB_HOST`, and the
compiled-in table stated github.com for every server with no source and
nothing that follows it; REFERENCE.md even called an enterprise
repository of the same name "somebody else's" when it can be the real
destination.
No hook call carries the server's host, so the table cannot follow it.
It now says what it is: the server at its default host, with the
README section it rests on. A repository whose server publishes to
GitHub Enterprise writes its own table for those tools, naming no
destination and scoped `public-target`, so every check that needs the
destination is unresolved and refused rather than asked of a github.com
repository that shares the name; a test pins that the forge is not
asked.

Test destination reads through escaped owner and repo pointers.
The RFC 6901 test checks two things. table.load() accepts each escaped pointer, and serde_json's Value::pointer resolves each pointer on a local document. The test never calls Table::destination, so no test checks how a loaded table reads an escaped owner or repo pointer from a call's input. The current code appears to resolve these pointers correctly, so this is a coverage gap, not a functional defect. A regression in the escaped-pointer path would still leave the suite passing.
Add a test that reads the destination through escaped pointers:
The values must be valid name segments. A value such as "a/b" is rejected by destination.

This message refuses a call whose scope could not be answered, and it offers three fixes. For a call no table names, it covers every non-GitHub server a matcher sends (Slack, Linear and so on). Two of the fixes do not apply to such a call: it has no destination to name, and it is a write, not a read. The third fix is unresolved = "run" on its own, and load_hooks in src/config.rs rejects that table unless the table or some rule's command.scope is public-target. Now take a policy with no public-target anywhere. For example, it inherits prose-shapes, whose rules have a command section and no own scope, and its gh shim is always. In that policy, Scoping::standing(None) still makes every string-carrying unnamed call unresolved. The user follows the advice and gets a load error. REFERENCE.md names the fix that works: a table that names the tools and nothing else, so every rule is judged with scope always. The message never mentions it. This fails the review question 'Does the error include enough evidence for recovery?': the refusal sends the reader to a fix the load step rejects, and the working way out goes unsaid.

Today the message suggests adding `unresolved = "run"` alone. `load_hooks` in src/config.rs rejects that table unless the table or a rule's `command.scope` is `public-target`. Change the message so every fix it names is one the load step accepts: (a) a table that names the tool's destination, (b) a table that skips it as a read, (c) a table that names its tools and nothing else, so every rule is judged in scope (default scope `always`), or (d) `scope = "public-target"` plus `unresolved = "run"` to let the call through unchecked. Then add a test to tests/hook_cli.rs. Its policy should declare a prose rule with `command.before = ["gh"]` and no `command.scope`, and a `gh` `[[shim]]` with the default `always` scope. Send `mcp__slack__post_message` with clean text and assert exit 2 and that the stderr names the 'names its tools and nothing else' fix. Then add `[[hook]] tools = '^mcp__slack__'` and assert the same call passes.

Linear write -- the refusal offered naming a destination, skipping it
as a read, or `unresolved = "run"`; the first two do not apply to such a
call, and the third alone is refused at load where no scope is
`public-target`. The refusal now leads with the way out REFERENCE.md
already gives -- a table that names the tools and nothing else, judged
with every rule in scope -- and says `unresolved = "run"` goes with
`scope = "public-target"`.
A unit test also reads a destination through escaped pointers, `/a~1b`
and `/m~0n`, from a call's input (CodeRabbit).

Implements #450.
uphold hooknow judges a tool call where the shim would judge the same act made throughgh: a read publishes no text, and a write is judged under each rule's scope at the repository it names.What changes
[[hook]]policy table.toolsis a regular expression overtool_name.skiplists the reads by exact name: the part of the tool name after thetoolsmatch.target = "forge-repo"takesforge = "github"andowner/repoJSON pointers (RFC 6901; the empty pointer is refused, and REFERENCE.md says why). The table also takes eithershim = "<command>"orscope/unresolved. Each table is parsed once at load into a type that carries its checks.policy/hook.default.toml). It lists the read tools of github-mcp-server v2.0.3, and itsshim = "gh"takes scope andunresolvedfrom the repository's own[[shim]]forgh. A repository's own tables are read first. A server pointed at GitHub Enterprise is not one this table describes, and REFERENCE.md gives the fail-safe override.named_standing), whateverGH_HOSTsays. A rule's scope comes fromown_scope; "could not tell" becomes refuse or run inruns;ran_uncheckedprints therunnotice. All of these live inshim/destination.rsand are shared with the shim. Repository-name segments go throughname_segment, also shared.--junitevery other rule is recorded as skipped, out of scope.forge(no host field yet),target = "git-remote", ashimnaming no declared[[shim]], malformed pointers orskipnames, and anunresolvedno scope can reach.Where this departs from the issue's plan
