feat: Add more hook types to codewith: onError, onSafetyFlag, and onNewAgentThread (extensible hook framework). — Start a goal

[andrei-hasna]

Objective

Add more hook types to codewith: onError, onSafetyFlag, and onNewAgentThread (extensible hook framework). — Start a goal plan for this task and drive it node by node (required). Investigate the current codewith implementation first and cite file:line. Build and test on remote Blacksmith ONLY (never compile locally). Keep cargo fmt, clippy -D warnings, and prettier clean. Land a PR into hasna/codewith main.

Verification

• install: pass

Closing without merging. Detailed rationale below, plus a concrete split/plan for a follow-up that can actually land.

1. It does not build (regression caused by this PR, not a baseline failure)

codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs gains three HookEventName variants, but the exhaustive
match/destructure sites that the codebase deliberately keeps wildcard-free were not updated.
CI stops at the first one:

error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: `HookEventName::OnError`, `HookEventName::OnSafetyFlag` and
`HookEventName::OnNewAgentThread` not covered
  = note: this error originates in the macro `v2_enum_from_core`
error: could not compile `codex-app-server-protocol` (lib) due to 1 previous error

(Build Codewith Linux CLI, run 30090946151)

Everything downstream of that crate never even got compiled. The remaining known blockers:

Site	What breaks
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/hook.rs:19	v2_enum_from_core! mirror enum missing the 3 variants (the E0004 above)
codex-rs/core/src/hook_runtime.rs:687	hook_run_metric_tags match is exhaustive, no wildcard
codex-rs/analytics/src/events.rs:1016	analytics_hook_event_name match is exhaustive
codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/hooks_browser_view.rs:731 and :746	event_label / event-description matches are exhaustive
codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/config_processor.rs:446	HookEventsToml destructured without .. (and ManagedHooksRequirements in app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/config.rs has no matching fields)
codex-rs/config/src/requirements_layers/hooks.rs:206	HookEventsToml destructured without .. — the comment there says explicitly that new events must not be introduced without deciding merge behaviour

Generated artifacts would also have to be regenerated, and there are freshness tests for each:
codex-rs/core/config.schema.json (config_schema_matches_fixture),
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/{json,typescript}/** (tests/schema_fixtures.rs),
plus sdk/python/src/codewith/generated/v2_all.py.

Format / etc is also red on a rustfmt diff at codex-rs/config/src/hook_config.rs:142.

The PR description reports Verification — install: pass; the actual PR CI is red on 18 checks,
including the plain Linux CLI build. That claim is not supported.

2. Even if it compiled, the three events would never fire

Hook dispatch in this repo is per-event and strongly typed: every event has a module under
codex-rs/hooks/src/events/ (pre_tool_use, post_tool_use, permission_request, compact,
session_start, user_prompt_submit, stop), a typed request/outcome pair, a run_* method on
ClaudeHooksEngine (codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/mod.rs:172-262), an input/output JSON schema under
codex-rs/hooks/schema/generated/, and a call site in core. There is no generic
"dispatch hooks for arbitrary event name" entry point.

This PR adds names only — no event module, no schema, no run_*, no core call site. The result is
user-visible config surface (hooks.OnError in config.toml, entries in the TUI hooks browser and
in the app-server hooks API) that silently does nothing. A user wiring an OnError hook would get
no error and no execution. That is worse than not having the event at all.

3. Two of the three duplicate hooks that already exist

• OnNewAgentThread is SessionStart (which already carries a source discriminator) plus
  SubagentStart — note the PR itself maps it to HookScope::Thread, exactly like those two.
• OnSafetyFlag overlaps PermissionRequest, which already fires when the safety/approval layer
  needs a decision.
• OnError is the only genuinely new signal here.

4. The names break the hook-name contract

HOOK_EVENT_NAMES is not just an internal list — codex-rs/external-agent-migration/src/lib.rs:545
iterates it to import Claude Code settings.json hook blocks. The set intentionally mirrors the
external agent's event names (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, Stop, SubagentStop,
PreCompact, UserPromptSubmit, …). OnError / OnSafetyFlag / OnNewAgentThread use an
On-prefixed style that exists nowhere else in the enum and has no counterpart to import from.

Recommended split

1. Drop OnNewAgentThread. Use SessionStart / SubagentStart. If something is missing there,
   the right change is an extra field on the existing payload, not a new event.
2. Drop OnSafetyFlag unless a spec distinguishes it from PermissionRequest (e.g. fires on
   auto-rejected commands, where no approval request is ever surfaced). If so, say so in the PR and
   implement it as a real event.
3. One PR for Error (name it Error, not OnError), implemented end-to-end:
   • variant in codex_protocol::protocol::HookEventName + the v2_enum_from_core! mirror;
   • ErrorCommandInput/output in codex-rs/hooks/src/schema.rs + generated
     error.command.{input,output}.schema.json;
   • codex-rs/hooks/src/events/error.rs with request/outcome + ClaudeHooksEngine::run_error;
   • a real core call site (turn/stream error path) and a decision on whether the hook is
     notification-only or can block;
   • hook_config.rs, requirements_layers/hooks.rs, config_processor.rs +
     ManagedHooksRequirements, hook_runtime.rs, analytics/events.rs, TUI label + description;
   • regenerate config.schema.json, app-server-protocol JSON/TS schemas, python SDK;
   • integration test proving the hook actually runs (see codex-rs/core/tests/suite/subagent_notifications.rs
     for the pattern), and cargo fmt / clippy -D warnings clean.

Reviewed on a clean rebase of this branch onto current main (rebase itself applies without
conflicts — the problem is the content, not the merge).
