fix(hooks): fail closed on missing/malformed jq in four PreToolUse gates - #1213
Conversation
Ports the guard prologue already proven in check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh and check-pr-title-convention.sh into the four hooks a deterministic-gate- quality audit found still fail open when jq is missing from PATH or the PreToolUse payload is malformed/wrong-shaped: check-bash-safety.sh, check-template-overwrite.sh, check-pr-skill-audit-disclosure.sh, and check-merge-pull-request-block.sh (this repository's own unconditional merge-block "no override" deny, highest priority per the issue). Live-reproduced before the fix (missing jq -> exit 127 "command not found"; malformed JSON -> exit 5, jq's own parse-error code -- neither is exit 2, so Claude Code's PreToolUse contract treats both as non-blocking and the guarded tool call proceeds) and live-confirmed after (exit 2 + deny JSON) for all four scripts, plus two additional malformed shapes (valid-JSON-non-object, tool_input-non-object). Adds a regression test for the new guard to each hook's existing pytest suite, plus a new suite for check-template-overwrite.sh, which had none before. Self-checked all four post-fix scripts against skills/evaluating-deterministic-gate-quality/scripts/gitapex_check_gate_shape.py. Refs #1208

The overwrite-deny tests scanned this checkout for a real, existing PR template file, falling back to pytest.skip when none was found. That fallback line was never executed in this repository's own CI (a template always exists here), so Codecov's patch-coverage gate flagged it as an uncovered line and failed the check. Replaces the scan with a tmp_path fixture that creates its own template file at an absolute path -- [ -f "$file_path" ] in the hook works the same for an absolute path regardless of cwd, so the deny path is still exercised against a real -f hit, now without depending on which template file(s) happen to exist in this repository or leaving an unreachable skip branch behind.

CodeRabbit's review of this PR found that the tool_input-shape guard
these three hooks just gained -- (.tool_input // {}) | type == "object"
-- accepts the JSON literal false the same way it accepts null or an
absent key, since jq's // operator treats both as falsy. A tool_input:
false payload therefore slipped past the guard and crashed the next
jq field-extraction line with "Cannot index boolean with string ...",
exit 5, past deny(), the same fail-open class this whole PR exists to
close. Live-confirmed against all three affected hooks before fixing.
Tightens the predicate to (.tool_input == null) or (.tool_input | type
== "object"), verified correct against the full value matrix (absent,
null, false, true, 0, array, string, object). Adds a false/true/zero
regression case to each hook's existing non-object tool_input test,
plus the [] top-level-array case check-merge-pull-request-block.py
and two sibling test files were still missing (CodeRabbit's own
nitpick finding).
The same gap exists in the two sibling hooks this pattern was
originally ported from (check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh,
check-pr-title-convention.sh) -- out of scope for this PR since neither
is part of its diff; filed as gitapex#1216.
Refs #1208
An independent adversarial correctness review dispatched against this PR found the most severe gap yet in the ported guard prologue: 1. jq -r never errors on a non-string .tool_name (e.g. an array ["Bash"]) -- it pretty-prints the JSON value across multiple lines instead, which then never equals the plain expected tool-name string (or matches a case pattern) the "defense in depth, don't trust hooks.json's matcher alone" re-check further down relies on. That silently falls through as "not our tool" (exit 0) instead of failing closed. Live-confirmed across all four hooks before fixing, most severely on check-merge-pull-request-block.sh: an array-wrapped tool_name let a real merge_pull_request call straight through this repository's own categorical "no override" deny -- the exact bypass class issue #1208 exists to close, just via a different field than the one it named. Fixed with the same predicate shape already proven for tool_input: (.tool_name == null) or (.tool_name | type == "string"), verified against the full value matrix. 2. Two unguarded `var=$(mktemp)` calls in check-pr-skill-audit- disclosure.sh's tier-1/tier-2 logic crashed the whole script under set -e on an unwritable/full TMPDIR, with mktemp's own exit code (non-2, non-blocking) instead of the intended degrade-to-tier-2- then-CI fallback every other tier-1-incomplete path in this hook already takes. Live-confirmed the crash before fixing; both call sites now catch the failure and fall through with a warning, exactly like the file's own documented fail-open-on-inconclusive-local-state posture already does for every other tier-1 failure mode. Regression tests added for both: a non-string tool_name (array/object/ number/bool) case for all four hooks, and a broken-TMPDIR case for check-pr-skill-audit-disclosure.sh's own fall-through. The identical tool_name-type gap exists in the two sibling hooks this pattern was originally ported from (check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh, check-pr-title-convention.sh) -- confirmed by the same review agent. Out of scope for this PR since neither is part of its diff; filed as gitapex#1217 (alongside gitapex#1216's own tool_input:false finding in the same two files). Refs #1208
…ring jq -r never errors on a non-string .tool_input.command or .tool_input.file_path -- it pretty-prints the JSON value across multiple lines, which breaks every whitespace-anchored danger-pattern regex in check-bash-safety.sh and both the basename match and -f test in check-template-overwrite.sh. Live-confirmed: an array-wrapped ["gh","pr","merge","1"] command, and an array-wrapped file_path targeting the real .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, both bypassed their respective hook before this fix.

Each of the three test_denied_when_tool_name_is_not_a_string tests hand-built its own ~15-line subprocess.run block instead of reusing the file's own run() helper, which already parameterizes tool_name -- the same helper the sibling hooks this PR's pattern was ported from use for this exact class of case. Widened each run()'s tool_name parameter from str to object so a non-string test value type-checks, then dropped the duplicated block in favor of a single run() call. Refs #1208
…ule text hooks/check-merge-pull-request-block.sh -- the hook carrying this PR's most severe fix -- had no gates[] entry in .gitapex/ssot.json at all. It was still covered by skill-audit-disclosure's own naming-convention backstop (hooks/(?:check[-_]|...)...), which is why the disclosure requirement fired correctly on this PR regardless, but the registry itself has no reverse-direction check (a gate-shaped file on disk with no registered entry) -- only find_script_drift, which validates that registered entries point to real files, not the other way around. Adds the missing entry, id merge-pull-request-block, tracking_issue 637 per the hook's own header citation. Also refreshes the rule text of the three already-registered gates this PR touches (bash-cli-write-and-install-guard, template-overwrite-guard, skill-audit-disclosure) to mention the fail-closed guards added across this PR's four rounds -- the schema's own rule field description says "grounded in the real script's logic", and the prior text predates all of it. Verified: uv run --frozen python .github/scripts/gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.py reports no drift; tests/test_gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.py (83 passed) and the related wiring/registry suite (191 passed) both clean.

Found while auditing whether PR #1213's own diff was fully reflected in .gitapex/ssot.json: the ssot-schema-drift gate's own rule text accurately describes what it currently checks (registered entries point to real files) but said nothing about the gap that let check-merge-pull-request-block.sh go unregistered until this PR -- the same class of gap issue #1227 now tracks. Discloses it inline, citing #1227, rather than leaving the limitation implicit. Refs #1208
jq -r '.tool_name // empty' never errors on a non-string tool_name -- it silently falls through as "not our tool" (exit 0) instead of failing closed, the same type-confusion class PR #1213/#1217 already closed in six sibling hooks. Adds the identical, already-proven (.tool_name == null) or (.tool_name | type == "string") guard from check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh, a regression test, and a GuardedField registration in the shared jq type-confusion matrix.

Summary
Four hook scripts under
hooks/failed open (allowed the guarded toolcall to proceed) when
jqwas missing fromPATHor the PreToolUsepayload on stdin was malformed or the wrong JSON shape:
hooks/check-bash-safety.shhooks/check-template-overwrite.shhooks/check-pr-skill-audit-disclosure.shhooks/check-merge-pull-request-block.sh(this repository's ownunconditional "no override" merge-block deny -- the most severe of the
four, per the audit)
This ports the guard prologue already proven in
hooks/check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.shandhooks/check-pr-title-convention.shinto all four, so each now denies(fails closed) instead of crashing past its own
deny()with a non-2 exitcode that Claude Code's PreToolUse contract treats as non-blocking.
hooks/check-issue-acm-disclosure.sh, the fifth hook the same auditflagged, already has its own tracking issue (#436, still open) and is
explicitly out of scope here.
Closes #1208. Refs #436 (related, not fixed by this PR).

guard above still accepted the JSON literal
false(jq's//treatsfalsethe same asnull), crashing the next field-extraction lineinstead of denying -- live-confirmed, then fixed by tightening the
predicate to
(.tool_input == null) or (.tool_input | type == "object"), verified against the full value matrix (absent, null,false, true, 0, array, string, object). The identical gap exists in the
two sibling hooks this pattern was originally ported from
(
check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh,check-pr-title-convention.sh),out of scope for this PR since neither is part of its diff -- filed as
hooks/: check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh and check-pr-title-convention.sh fail open on tool_input: false (same class as #1208) #1216.
Repair during review (round 2, independent adversarial agents): a
dispatched reuse/simplification pass found
check-bash-safety.sh'swarn()(the non-blocking counterpart todeny()) still built itsJSON via
jq -n --arg, the exact ARG_MAX-vulnerable constructiondeny()was hardened to avoid -- its only call site interpolates theprovenance scanner's report over the entire outgoing push, large
enough to realistically hit it. Live-confirmed the crash (exit 126) on
a 3MB message, then fixed with the same
jq -Rsconstruction. The samepass also found the new tool_input tests never actually included the
"string" case their own docstrings claimed, and no hook had a
regression test proving
tool_input: null/absent still correctlyallows through -- both added.
Repair during review (round 3, independent adversarial agent, most
severe): a dedicated correctness pass found
jq -rnever errors ona non-string
.tool_name(e.g. an array["Bash"]) -- it pretty-prints the JSON value across multiple lines, which then never matches
the plain-string/
casecomparison every one of these hooks' owndefense-in-depth tool_name re-check relies on, silently falling
through as "not our tool" instead of failing closed. Live-confirmed
across all four hooks, most severely on
check-merge-pull-request-block.sh: an array-wrappedtool_nameleta real
merge_pull_requestcall straight through this repository'sown categorical "no override" deny -- the exact bypass class this
issue exists to close, just via a different field. Fixed with
(.tool_name == null) or (.tool_name | type == "string"), the samepredicate shape already proven for
tool_input, verified against thefull value matrix. The same pass also found two unguarded
var=$(mktemp)calls incheck-pr-skill-audit-disclosure.shthatcrashed the script under
set -eon an unwritable/fullTMPDIRinstead of the intended degrade-to-tier-2-then-CI fallback every other
tier-1-incomplete path in that hook already takes -- live-confirmed
and fixed to fall through with a warning instead. The identical
tool_name-type gap exists in the same two out-of-scope sibling hooksas the
tool_input:falsefinding above -- filed as hooks/: check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh and check-pr-title-convention.sh fail open on a non-string tool_name (same class as #1208) #1217.Repair during review (round 4, independent adversarial agent): a
final type-confusion sweep, re-run specifically because the diff had
changed materially since round 3, found the same jq-pretty-print
gap one level deeper:
check-bash-safety.sh's.tool_input.commandandcheck-template-overwrite.sh's.tool_input.file_path-- both leaf fields feed a blacklist-styledanger-pattern match (
[[:space:]]-anchored regexes; a basenamematch plus
[ -f ... ]) rather than a positive-match-required-to-pass check, so an array/object value pretty-prints across multiple
lines and slips through as "no match" instead of failing closed.
Live-confirmed: an array-wrapped
["gh","pr","merge","1"]command,and an array-wrapped file_path wrapping the real, on-disk
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, both bypassed their hook (exit0) before this fix. Fixed with the same
(.field == null) or (.field | type == "string")predicate already proven twice above,immediately before each field's extraction line. The same sweep
live-confirmed
check-pr-skill-audit-disclosure.sh'sbody/basefields and
check-merge-pull-request-block.sh(no otherextractable field beyond the already-fixed
tool_name) do not sharethis gap -- both are structurally immune the same way
tool_nameand
tool_inputwere, once fixed: a wrong-typed value can only pushfurther toward denial, never toward an incorrect allow.
Separately checked (not by that agent, but before treating this
sweep as complete): whether the two out-of-scope sibling hooks
(
check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh,check-pr-title-convention.sh-- already tracked for the
tool_input:falseandtool_name-typegaps as hooks/: check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh and check-pr-title-convention.sh fail open on tool_input: false (same class as #1208) #1216/hooks/: check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh and check-pr-title-convention.sh fail open on a non-string tool_name (same class as #1208) #1217) share this specific leaf-field variant.
check-pr-title-convention.sh'stitleis live-confirmed immune:an array- or object-wrapped title still correctly denies (exit 2),
since
CONVENTIONAL_COMMIT_RErequires a positive single-line matchand a pretty-printed JSON value's embedded newlines can only fail
that match.
check-pr-issue-acm-disclosure.sh'sowner/repo/title/bodyare embedded into a newjq -cobject (no directindex-on-scalar crash risk) and handed to a Python checker whose own
contract is "exit 0 only on a verified pass, deny on anything else
including a crash" -- traced, not live-tested against the real
GitHub API (this hook makes a live network call this sweep had no
standing to exercise against a real repo/token). No new follow-up
issue filed for this specific variant; recording the negative result
here instead.
Lint/format:
ruff checkandruff format --checkclean on everychanged/added Python file;
bash -nclean on every changed shellscript; the repository's own pre-commit hook (ruff, mypy, betterleaks)
passed on every commit in this PR.
Shape-checker verdict, final:
gitapex_check_gate_shape.pyreportsVERDICT_PASSEDon shape checks 1/2/3/4/5/6a for all four hooks as ofthe final commit. Shape check 3 (self-revalidation heuristic) reported
IND(indeterminate, not failed) forcheck-pr-skill-audit- disclosure.shthrough round 1 -- it matchedtool_nameonly via acase ... esacstatement, a shape that heuristic didn't recognize --and now reports
VERDICT_PASSEDas an incidental side effect of round3's new explicit
.tool_name == ...guard, not a change made tosatisfy the checker itself.
Registry linkage (.gitapex/ssot.json)
Checked directly (not assumed) after the two-layer review below: of the
four hooks this PR touches, three already carried a
gates[]entry(
bash-cli-write-and-install-guard,template-overwrite-guard,skill-audit-disclosure) but theirruletext predated every fail-closedguard added across this PR's four rounds -- the schema's own
rulefielddescription requires it be "grounded in the real script's logic", so this
refreshes all three.
check-merge-pull-request-block.sh-- the hookcarrying this PR's most severe fix -- had no registry entry at all.
Reading
.github/scripts/gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.pyin full confirmedwhy CI never caught this: all eight of its drift checks validate only
that a registered entry points to a real file, none checks the reverse
(a real gate-shaped file with no registered entry). It was still covered
by
skill-audit-disclosure's own separate naming-convention backstop(
hooks/(?:check[-_]|gitapex_check_)[^/]*\.(?:sh|py)), which is why theskill-audit-disclosure requirement fired correctly on this PR regardless
of the registry gap. Fixed by adding the missing entry (seventh commit);
uv run --frozen python .github/scripts/gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.pyreports no drift, and
tests/test_gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.py(83passed) plus the related wiring/registry suite (191 passed) both stay
clean. The structural gap in the drift gate itself -- no reverse-direction
check exists at all, so the next unregistered gate-shaped file would
silently pass the same way -- is out of this PR's scope and filed
separately as #1227.
A later completeness audit (prompted directly, after the merge below)
cross-checked all four target hooks' current fail-closed logic line by
line against their
ruletext -- all four are complete and accurate,nothing missing. That same audit found one more small gap: the
ssot-schema-driftgate's ownruletext (registered separately,.github/scripts/gitapex_scan_ssot_schema.py) accurately describes whatit currently checks but didn't disclose the #1227 gap it itself has.
Added a one-sentence disclosure citing #1227 (ninth commit); drift gate
and its own test suite (83 passed) both still clean.
Two-layer independent review (drafting-a-pr-to-merge step 8)

Anthropic's "Claude Code Review" GitHub App's install state was not
independently confirmed either way, so it was not separately
requested.
documented above already covered the "correctness" category
exhaustively (every field every one of the four hooks extracts from
its JSON payload). This step covers the three remaining categories
the skill names, via three parallel adversarial-framed agents against
the stabilized diff:
Claude-Code-shaped payload is never wrongly denied by the new
guards), no caller depends on old behavior (repo-wide grep found
none), no blast-radius leak (hooks.json matchers are exact,
non-overlapping strings). One real, live-measured finding survived:
each new guard re-parses the full stdin payload through a fresh
