Summary

Ship a self-contained hook daemon inside the SDK so users can eliminate per-invocation Python spawn overhead (~300ms × 20 hooks/session on Windows).

Why not reuse brain/scripts/hook_daemon.py

The existing daemon in the brain vault references a dead .claude/hooks/reflect/ layout and a wrong SDK_SRC path. Its HOOK_ROUTES don't include the current 20 gradata.hooks.* modules. Repairing it is out-of-scope and lives outside this repo.

What's here

  • gradata.hooks.daemon — localhost:7819 HTTP server. Dynamically imports gradata.hooks.<name>, runs main(data) in-process with stdout/stderr capture. GET /health, GET /shutdown, POST /hook/<name>. --start detaches a background process and writes PID to gradata-hook-daemon.pid.
  • gradata.hooks.client — thin CLI: python -m gradata.hooks.client <hook_name>. Tries daemon first, falls back to direct module import if daemon isn't up. Drop-in for settings.json commands.

Enabling

Opt-in — settings.json unchanged by this PR. To turn on:

"command": "python -m gradata.hooks.client auto_correct"  // was: gradata.hooks.auto_correct

Plus one-time python -m gradata.hooks.daemon --start.

Verified

Live --start/health {uptime_s: 1.8, pid: 72444} → POST /hook/config_validate (via client) → --stop all work.

Next step (not in this PR)

Flip settings.json for the hot-path hooks (auto_correct, tool_failure_emit, secret_scan) after a day of dogfooding. Pyright clean. No tests yet — daemon is opt-in, existing hook tests still exercise the inline path.

📝 Walkthrough
  • Performance (opt-in): Added an SDK-contained hook daemon and client to avoid per-invocation Python spawn overhead (not enabled by default).
    • New daemon: src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py — HTTP server (binds to 127.0.0.1, default port 7819, PORT configurable via GRADATA_HOOK_DAEMON_PORT) with endpoints:
      • GET /health — returns status, uptime_s, pid, cached hook modules
      • GET /shutdown — triggers server shutdown
      • POST /hook/ — runs gradata.hooks..main(data) in-process, captures stdout/stderr, returns JSON { stdout, stderr, exit_code }
    • Daemon writes PID to /tmp/gradata-hook-daemon.pid on start and removes it on shutdown; maintains an in-memory module cache for imported hooks.
    • Error mapping: unknown hook or missing main → exit_code 127; invalid JSON → exit_code 2; SystemExit and other exceptions mapped to appropriate exit_code (traceback appended to stderr on exceptions).
  • Client wrapper (drop-in): src/gradata/hooks/client.py — CLI entrypoint (python -m gradata.hooks.client <hook_name>) that:
    • Attempts daemon POST first, writes returned stdout/stderr, exits with returned exit_code.
    • Falls back to inline import of gradata.hooks..main when daemon unavailable; validates inputs, parses stdin JSON, returns structured output or error codes (127/2/1) consistent with daemon behavior.
  • CLI controls:
    • Daemon main() supports --start (detached background start, writes PID), --stop (calls /shutdown), --status (probes /health), and foreground server run.
  • Public API / exported symbols added:
    • Module: src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py
    • Public functions: run_foreground(), stop_daemon(), main()
    • Module: src/gradata/hooks/client.py with main() and helper functions (_try_daemon, _fallback_inline)
  • Integration / opt-in activation:
    • No settings.json changes applied by this PR. To enable, update hook commands to use the client (e.g., "python -m gradata.hooks.client auto_correct") and start the daemon once (python -m gradata.hooks.daemon --start).
  • Testing / scope:
    • No daemon-specific tests added in this PR; existing inline hook tests remain unchanged.
  • Tooling:
    • Pyright clean.
  • Breaking changes / Security:
    • No breaking API changes; opt-in only. No security fixes introduced by this PR.

Walkthrough

Adds a daemon-based hook system: a client entrypoint that prefers posting hook requests to a local HTTP daemon and falls back to importing/running hook modules directly, plus a persistent daemon HTTP server that executes hooks in-process, captures output, and exposes health/shutdown endpoints.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Hook Client
src/gradata/hooks/client.py
New CLI entrypoint (python -m gradata.hooks.client <hook_name>). Reads stdin (TTY-aware), tries HTTP POST to daemon /hook/<name>, processes JSON response (stdout/stderr/exit_code), and falls back to importing gradata.hooks.<name> and calling its main(data) with JSON parsing and error codes.
Hook Daemon
src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py
New persistent HTTP server (default bind 127.0.0.1:7819) with /health, /shutdown, and POST /hook/<name>. Maintains module cache, captures stdout/stderr during hook execution, maps exceptions/SystemExit to exit codes, writes PID file, and provides CLI flags to start/stop/query status.

Inline comments:
In `@src/gradata/enhancements/_sanitize.py`:
- Around line 190-223: sanitize_lesson_content can raise for truthy non-string
inputs (e.g. 123 or object()) when it calls _escape_xml, _escape_js_full,
_escape_js_template, or _neutralize_llm_prompt; coerce non-str inputs to a safe
string at the top of sanitize_lesson_content (e.g. if not isinstance(text, str):
try text = str(text) except Exception: return text) so the subsequent calls to
those helper functions never receive non-strings and the function preserves the
"never raises" guarantee while still returning the original value on
irrecoverable conversion failures.

In `@src/gradata/enhancements/llm_synthesizer.py`:
- Around line 73-82: The prompt header still inserts the raw theme variable
which can enable prompt injection; sanitize theme using the same sanitizer used
for descriptions (sanitize_lesson_content) before embedding it in the LLM
prompt. Locate where theme is interpolated into the prompt header (alongside
bullets built from lessons in llm_synthesizer.py), call safe_theme =
sanitize_lesson_content(theme, "llm_prompt") and use safe_theme in the prompt
construction instead of theme so both category/theme and lesson descriptions are
neutralized.

In `@src/gradata/enhancements/meta_rules.py`:
- Around line 621-627: The category label is still injected raw into the LLM
prompt; sanitize it the same way descriptions are sanitized by calling
sanitize_lesson_content(category, "llm_prompt") and use the sanitized value
wherever category is inserted into the prompt (replace usages of category with
sanitized_category). Update the code near sanitize_lesson_content,
safe_descriptions and bullet_text to produce and use this sanitized_category so
no persisted lesson field bypasses the prompt sanitization.

In `@src/gradata/hooks/client.py`:
- Line 14: Remove the unused top-level import io from the module (the import
line containing "import io" in src/gradata/hooks/client.py) to resolve the Ruff
F401 unused-import error; ensure no other references to io remain in functions
or classes (e.g., check any uses in functions in this file) before committing
the deletion.
- Around line 39-57: The _fallback_inline path calls mod.main(data) directly
which can raise exceptions or SystemExit and bypass the hook runner’s error
handling; change _fallback_inline to invoke the hook via the common runner
(e.g., call run_hook(...) for gradata.hooks.<name>) or, if run_hook isn’t
available, wrap the mod.main(data) call in a try/except that catches Exception
and SystemExit, writes a concise error to sys.stderr (silent degradation), and
returns a non-zero exit code instead of propagating the exception; use the
function name _fallback_inline and the module variable mod (and prefer run_hook
if present) to locate where to apply the change.

In `@src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py`:
- Around line 134-138: Replace the try/except in _clear_pid with
contextlib.suppress(FileNotFoundError): call to PID_FILE.unlink() to avoid the
SIM105 lint error; import contextlib if not present and update the _clear_pid
function to use contextlib.suppress(FileNotFoundError) around PID_FILE.unlink()
so the FileNotFoundError is quietly ignored without a bare except.
- Around line 104-127: The HTTP handlers expose control endpoints without auth;
update BaseHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET and do_POST to protect control plane by
requiring a local-only check and an authorization token: 1) enforce requests
originate from loopback (verify self.client_address or use socket check) before
honoring /shutdown and /hook/*; 2) require a pre-shared secret header (e.g.,
"X-Admin-Token") and validate it against a configured daemon secret before
executing _run_hook or calling self.server.shutdown(); and 3) on auth failure
return 403 via _reply. Reference do_GET, do_POST, _run_hook,
self.server.shutdown, and _reply when adding these checks.
- Around line 40-42: Replace the shared temp PID path with a per-user runtime
directory: update the PID_FILE constant in src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py so it
prefers XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (os.environ["XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"]) and falls back to a
user-specific directory (e.g., tempfile.gettempdir()/f"gradata-{os.getuid()}" or
Path.home()/".local/share/gradata") to ensure the PID file name is namespaced
per-user; keep the filename "gradata-hook-daemon.pid" but place it inside that
per-user directory and create the directory if it doesn't exist before writing
the PID.
- Around line 60-89: _parse the caller working directory from the JSON payload
inside _run_hook (data = json.loads(body)) and temporarily chdir to it while
executing the hook: save old_cwd = os.getcwd(), validate that data.get("cwd") is
a string and os.path.isdir(cwd), os.chdir(cwd) before calling mod.main(data),
and always restore the original cwd in the finally block (alongside restoring
stdout/stderr). If the provided cwd is invalid or chdir fails, return an error
dict with a nonzero exit_code and include the failure details in stderr; keep
the existing error handling for SystemExit and other exceptions and reference
the symbols _run_hook, data, mod.main, old_stdout/old_stderr, and the finally
block to locate where to add the chdir/save/restore logic.
- Around line 52-55: The try/except around
importlib.import_module(f"gradata.hooks.{name}") should catch
ModuleNotFoundError specifically and only swallow it when the missing module is
exactly the hook module, otherwise re-raise to surface transitive import
failures; change the except ImportError branch to: except ModuleNotFoundError as
e: if e.name == f"gradata.hooks.{name}": return None else: raise, and let other
ImportError subclasses propagate so broken hooks with missing dependencies
aren’t treated as "unknown hook".

In `@src/gradata/hooks/inject_brain_rules.py`:
- Around line 212-215: The patch only sanitized cluster_lines and
individual_lines but still inserts raw rule fields into XML tags; update the
code paths that build <mandatory-directives> and <mandatory-reminder> so that
r.category and r.description are passed through sanitize_lesson_content before
interpolation (where cluster_lines and individual_lines are assembled), i.e.,
locate the code that emits the <mandatory-directives> and <mandatory-reminder>
elements (references: cluster_lines, individual_lines, r.category,
r.description) and replace raw use with sanitize_lesson_content(r.category) and
sanitize_lesson_content(r.description) to prevent closing-tag injection.

In `@tests/test_sanitize_lesson_content.py`:
- Around line 24-284: The test suite lacks a regression verifying
sanitize_lesson_content() never raises on non-string input; add a test that
calls sanitize_lesson_content(123, "xml") and sanitize_lesson_content(object(),
"js") (and maybe None) asserting the call does not raise and returns a str (or
empty string), and update sanitize_lesson_content (the function itself) to
defensively coerce non-str inputs to str (or handle None) at the top of the
function so it degrades safely instead of throwing TypeError.

377-391: Sanitization order looks correct here.

Neutralizing prompt markers before json.dumps() and then running the dumped literal through js_template is the right sequence for this path. It closes the remaining template-literal / </script> gaps without breaking the JSON string literal.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

sanitize_lesson_content() still raises on truthy non-strings.

The docstring promises this API never raises on unexpected input, but Lines 211-217 call translate() / regex helpers on any truthy non-string. Values like 123 or object() will throw before returning, which turns malformed lesson data into a trust-boundary DoS instead of a safe fallback.

Sanitize the category label too.

Line 629 still injects category raw into the LLM prompt. category is the same persisted lesson data you now treat as attacker-influenced elsewhere, so a malicious category can still carry prompt-injection text even though the bullet items are filtered.

Inline fallback bypasses the hook runner’s error handling.

Line 54 calls mod.main(data) directly. If the hook raises or SystemExits, this path skips the module's normal run_hook(...) wrapper and can abort the tool chain with a traceback instead of degrading cleanly. As per coding guidelines, "errors must be silent (never block the tool chain)".

Suggested direction

+    try:
+        result = mod.main(data)
+    except SystemExit as exc:
+        return int(exc.code) if isinstance(exc.code, int) else 0

bypass the hook runner’s error handling; change _fallback_inline to invoke the
hook via the common runner (e.g., call run_hook(...) for gradata.hooks.<name>)
or, if run_hook isn’t available, wrap the mod.main(data) call in a try/except

(silent degradation), and returns a non-zero exit code instead of propagating
the exception; use the function name _fallback_inline and the module variable

Hook execution needs the caller’s working directory.

_run_hook() runs inside the daemon process's own cwd, but hooks like src/gradata/hooks/inject_brain_rules.py fall back to Path.cwd().name on Line 157 and resolve brain state from process context. Once the daemon is started from one repo and a later invocation comes from another worktree, you'll read/rank against the wrong project unless you temporarily rebase execution to the caller's cwd.

This only closes half of the XML injection surface.

The new xml escaping is applied to cluster_lines and individual_lines, but Line 292 and Line 304 still interpolate raw r.category / r.description into <mandatory-directives> and <mandatory-reminder>. A malicious lesson can still break out with </mandatory-directives> or </mandatory-reminder>.

Add a regression for the “never raises” contract.

The new suite only exercises strings, so it won't catch the public guarantee that sanitize_lesson_content() degrades safely on unexpected input. A single case like 123 or object() would have exposed the current failure mode immediately.

The brain/scripts/hook_daemon.py existed but its HOOK_ROUTES pointed at a
dead .claude/hooks/reflect/ layout and a wrong SDK_SRC path. Rather than
repair stale external infrastructure, ship a self-contained SDK daemon:

- gradata.hooks.daemon: localhost:7819 HTTP server. GET /health, GET /shutdown,
  POST /hook/<name> with stdin JSON as body. Dynamically imports
  gradata.hooks.<name>, runs main(data), relays stdout/stderr/exit_code.
  First request per hook pays the import cost; subsequent calls are
  in-process (typ ~1ms vs ~300ms Python spawn on Windows).

- gradata.hooks.client: thin wrapper used as
  'python -m gradata.hooks.client <hook_name>'. Tries daemon first, falls
  back to direct module import if daemon isn't running. Drop-in for
  settings.json commands.

Opt-in: settings.json still invokes 'python -m gradata.hooks.<name>'
directly. To enable, swap the command to 'python -m gradata.hooks.client
<name>' and run 'python -m gradata.hooks.daemon --start' once per session.

Live verified: --start, --status, /health, POST /hook/config_validate,
--stop all work end-to-end.

60-89: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Hook execution runs in the daemon's cwd, not the caller's.

Hooks like inject_brain_rules.py use Path.cwd() to determine context. When the daemon is started from one directory and invoked from another, the hook will operate on the wrong project. Consider accepting a cwd field in the payload and temporarily changing directory during execution.

This is a known issue from prior review. If addressing it is deferred, document the limitation so users don't encounter silent misbehavior.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

In `@src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py` around lines 60 - 89, The hook runner _run_hook
should honor a caller-supplied working directory: parse an optional "cwd" string
from the payload (data) before executing mod.main, validate that it exists and
is a directory, then temporarily os.chdir(cwd) for the duration of calling
mod.main and restore the original cwd in the finally block around the try/except
so stdout/stderr handling remains unchanged; if validation fails, return an
appropriate error (non-zero exit_code) instead of executing the hook.

104-127: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Control endpoints lack authentication.

GET /shutdown is unauthenticated and could be triggered by any local process or a CSRF attack from a browser. Consider:

  1. Making /shutdown POST-only
  2. Adding a per-session token requirement (e.g., X-Gradata-Daemon-Token header)

Since this is localhost-only and opt-in, the risk is limited, but documenting this limitation would help users assess their threat model.

Use a per-user subdirectory for the PID file.

The current shared temp path allows different users to overwrite each other's daemon state on multi-user systems. As per coding guidelines, "temp files must use per-user subdirectory".

+import getpass

-PID_FILE = Path(tempfile.gettempdir()) / "gradata-hook-daemon.pid"

Catch ModuleNotFoundError specifically to distinguish missing hooks from broken hooks.

Catching bare ImportError masks transitive import failures (e.g., a hook with a missing dependency). Use ModuleNotFoundError with a name check so broken hooks surface the actual error instead of appearing as "unknown hook".

Wrap mod.main(data) in exception handling to prevent blocking the tool chain.

If the hook raises an exception or SystemExit, this path will abort with a traceback instead of degrading gracefully. The daemon's _run_hook handles this correctly, but the fallback path does not. As per coding guidelines, "errors must be silent (never block the tool chain)".

60-73: LGTM!

The main() function correctly orchestrates daemon-first execution with fallback. The stdin handling and response relay logic are appropriate.

src/gradata/hooks/daemon.py (3)

1-22: LGTM!

The module docstring clearly explains the purpose, protocol, and usage of the daemon. Good documentation for an opt-in feature.


92-103: LGTM!

The _Handler class setup is clean. Silencing the default HTTP access log and providing a consistent _reply helper are good practices.


158-165: LGTM!

Proper use of try/finally ensures the PID file is cleaned up even if the server encounters an error.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider replacing print() with sys.stdout.write() for consistency.

The coding guidelines specify "no print() statements" for the SDK. While this is user-facing CLI output, using sys.stdout.write() would maintain consistency with client.py.

-        print(json.dumps({"running": pid is not None, "pid": pid, "port": PORT}))
+        sys.stdout.write(json.dumps({"running": pid is not None, "pid": pid, "port": PORT}) + "\n")

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Add start_new_session=True for proper Unix daemonization.

The Windows-specific flags are handled correctly, but on Unix the child process still shares the session with the parent. Adding start_new_session=True ensures the daemon survives if the parent terminal closes.

         subprocess.Popen(
             [sys.executable, "-m", "gradata.hooks.daemon"],
