fix(devin): keep agent loop running on gate blocks by using no-op + PostToolUse context - #61

Conversation
…ostToolUse context Devin CLI's PreToolUse decision: 'block' stops the current agent turn. Instead of blocking, the PreToolUse hook now rewrites a denied write/edit/apply_patch call to a safe no-op: - write/edit target a sentinel directory (.devin/module-gates/blocked) - apply_patch receives an invalid patch string The denial context is written to a per-session sidecar in /tmp and emitted by the new PostToolUse hook via additionalContext, so the LLM receives the gate reason and the agent loop continues. Also installs a PostToolUse entry and updates READMEs/translations. Co-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
PreToolUsedecision: "block"stops the current agent turn, which is undesirable for an autonomous agent.write/edit/apply_patchcalls to a safe no-op and reports the denial via a newPostToolUsehook usingadditionalContext, so the agent loop continues and the LLM receives the gate reason.PostToolUseregistration to the Devin installer and plugin manifest, and updated README translations.Test plan
npm run testpasses (410/410)npm run checkpasseswrite,edit, andapply_patchto a readonly file all allowed the agent to continue and report the gate; allowed writes still succeed; no guarded files were modified
