Neither names the Agent tool. No changelog entry found (first 200k chars) saying Agent `updatedInput` was fixed. Whether it works on the current release: not verified by any source; nobody ran a probe in this pass. +- A separate, non-settings mechanism: 2.1.300 "Added support for rewriting a workflow agent's `prompt` and `model` in the `agent.spawn` mod hook, which could only refuse workflow agents before"; 2.1.289 "Added `agent.spawn` for teammates". These are plugin "mod" hooks (see the `plugin-authoring` skill in this install), scoped in the entry to workflow agents. Not found in the hooks reference text read. Web search found no third-party description of `agent.spawn`. +- MCP tools: `Match MCP tools` section: MCP tools "appear as regular tools in tool events (`PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `PostToolUseFailure`, `PermissionRequest`, `PermissionDenied`)". Name pattern `mcp____`. PreToolUse input for an MCP tool also carries `mcp_server` {`name`, `source`} ("requires Claude Code v2.1.274 or later").

Text framed as out-of-band system commands can trigger Claude's prompt-injection defenses, which causes Claude to surface the text to you". +- Persistence: injected text is saved in the transcript; on `--continue`/`--resume` it is replayed, not re-run, except `SessionStart`, which re-runs with `source` `"resume"` or `"fork"`. +- SessionStart output fields: `additionalContext`, `initialUserMessage` (non-interactive `-p` only), `sessionTitle`, `watchPaths`, `reloadSkills`; plain-text stdout also added to context. 2.1.290: "Fixed an async SessionStart hook's unchanged context being added to the conversation again on every resume". +- UserPromptSubmit output fields: `decision` (`"block"`), `reason`, `additionalContext`, `sessionTitle`, `suppressOriginalPrompt`. +- PostToolUse output fields: `decision`, `reason`, `additionalContext`, `classifierContext`, `updatedToolOutput`, `updatedMCPToolOutput` ("only changes what Claude sees"). +- SubagentStart (exists): "Runs when Claude spawns a subagent with the Agent tool, when Claude resumes a subagent, and each time an in-process agent team teammate handles a new message." Matcher is agent type name (`general-purpose`, `Explore`, `Plan`, custom `name` from frontmatter, plugin form `^my-plugin:reviewer$`). Input: common fields plus `agent_id`, `agent_type` only (example JSON has no `prompt`, no task text). Output: "SubagentStart hooks can't block subagent creation, but they can inject context into the subagent": `additionalContext`, "String added to the subagent's context at the start of its conversation, before its first prompt." Re-run for the same subagent: injected "only when the subagent's context doesn't already hold the copy from an earlier run" (prompt cache preserved). +- SubagentStop input: common plus `stop_hook_active`, `agent_id`, `agent_type`, `agent_transcript_path`, `last_assistant_message`; `decision: "block"` with `reason` "keeps the subagent running and delivers `reason` to the subagent as its next instruction". Docs: "To inject context into the parent session after a subagent returns, use a PostToolUse hook on the `Agent` tool instead." +- Hooks inside subagents, verbatim: "Hooks from settings files, managed policy settings, and plugins also run inside subagents. When a subagent calls a tool, tool events such as `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` fire the same configured hooks as in the main conversation, and the input carries the `agent_id` and `agent_type` common input fields". So a settings-file PreToolUse hook on `mcp__eureka-state__admit` fires when a subagent calls it. Subagent-frontmatter hooks run only while that subagent runs ("Claude Code converts a `Stop` hook here to `SubagentStop`"); a user comment in an issue search result says frontmatter hooks were not executing for Task-tool subagents (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18392, snippet only, not read). +- UserPromptSubmit fires on user prompts of the root session; docs read give no event for a subagent's own start besides SubagentStart.

Limits + +- Timeouts (common fields table): default 600 s for `command`, `http`, `mcp_tool`; 30 s for `prompt`; 60 s for `agent`; "Lowered to 30 for `command`, `http`, and `mcp_tool` on `UserPromptSubmit`, `PreModelSwitch`, and `PostModelSwitch`, and to 10 on `MessageDisplay`"; SessionEnd shares a 1.5 s budget (raisable to 60 s); no `timeout` enforcement for `async: true` command hooks. Per-hook `timeout` field in seconds (example config uses `"timeout": 5`). +- Size: "A hook's `additionalContext`, `systemMessage`, and `initialUserMessage` strings, and its plain stdout, are capped at 10,000 characters", each field measured separately. Over the cap: "Claude Code writes the text to a file in the session directory and passes Claude the file path with a preview of up to the first 2,000 characters instead. Claude can read the file, but Claude Code doesn't ask it to." "this cap has no setting or environment variable to raise it." +- Failure: exit 0 success; exit 2 "Blocking error ... On events that can block, Claude Code stops the action"; any other exit code is a non-blocking error and the action goes ahead; "Exit code 1 without valid JSON output is a non-blocking error". For PreToolUse a timed-out command/http/mcp_tool hook "doesn't block the tool call" unless `"onFailure": "block"` (requires v2.1.295+, default `"continue"`). 2.1.288: "Fixed PreToolUse and PermissionRequest hooks being skipped when matching them failed or the tool's input could not be serialized to JSON; the call is now blocked". Whether a timed-out UserPromptSubmit hook's output is discarded: not stated in the text read. +- Matcher syntax: a matcher of only "letters, digits, `_`, `-`, spaces, `,`, and `|`" is an exact string or list of exact strings; any other character makes it an unanchored JavaScript regular expression. MCP: `mcp____`; whole server needs `.*` ("a matcher like `mcp__memory` ... matches no tool"); `mcp__eureka-state__.*` fits the pattern (hyphen is allowed in the exact-match set; `.*` forces regex). Plugin servers: `mcp__plugin____`. Hook entries also take an `if` field (section "common fields", not read in full). +- `` escaping in hook output: changelog 2.1.292. +- "async" and `onFailure` fields exist; `agent_id` on PreToolUse input: the PreToolUse input section was past the readable window; the "Hooks in subagents" section says tool-event inputs carry it. + +### Disagreements with the installed probes + +Checked against: `C:\Users\Meta\.claude\skills\eureka\tools\recall.py` docstring and `eureka-substrate:cut_spec:cut-recall-prompt.r1` `first`. +- recall.py docstring makes one hooks claim: "Claude Code caps additionalContext at 10,000 characters" (comment on `MAX_BUDGET = 9000`).

FLARE / Active RAG (Jiang et al., arXiv 2305.06983, EMNLP 2023). Trigger: mid-generation, per sentence: draft the next sentence, retrieve only if any token's probability is below θ (0.8 on most tasks, 0.4 on StrategyQA). Relevance: query is the draft sentence with tokens below β=0.4 masked (unmasked, β=0, performed worse), or LLM-generated questions per low-confidence span. Noise: θ gate; retrieval fired for about 30-60% of sentences; only the most recent retrieved documents kept in context. Failures: no significant gain on Wizard of Wikipedia (short output) or ELI5; extra LM calls per retrieval. +6. Self-RAG (Asai et al., arXiv 2310.11511). Trigger: a trained model emits a reflection token deciding whether to retrieve ("adaptively retrieves passages on-demand"), instead of "a fixed number of passages". Relevance: reflection tokens critique retrieved passages and the output (detail not read; abstract only). Noise: on-demand gating plus critique. Failures: not in abstract. +7. A-MEM (Xu et al., arXiv 2502.12110, NeurIPS 2025). Trigger: on write, a new note is analysed against old memories and linked; on retrieval, agent-driven (abstract only). Relevance: Zettelkasten-style notes with keywords, tags, context, links, with updates to linked memories. Noise and failure: not described in the abstract. +8. Mem0 (Chhikara et al., arXiv 2504.19413; docs https://docs.mem0.ai/core-concepts/memory-operations/search). Trigger: application calls `search`; docs do not prescribe per-message ("the docs don't prescribe calling search on every message"; with the Mem0 MCP agents search "proactively when needed"). Relevance: cosine similarity; params `top_k`, `threshold` ("minimum similarity score"), `rerank` (default False; second pass when a reranker is configured), `filters` (always scope by `user_id`); OSS `explain=True` returns `score_details` (semantic score, normalised BM25, entity boost, threshold). Paper claims on LOCOMO: 26% relative LLM-judge gain over OpenAI, 91% lower p95 latency, over 90% fewer tokens than full-context (abstract). Failure modes: not stated in sources read. +9. LangGraph long-term memory (https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/memory). Trigger: write either "in the hot path" (agent decides while responding; costs latency and attention) or "in the background" (separate task; "choosing how often to write ... when to trigger, such as after a time delay, on a cron schedule, or manually"). Read: `store.search(namespace, filter=..., query=...)`, semantic via `query` sorted by vector similarity, content `filter`; namespaces as folders. The page "doesn't give a general pattern" for injecting results into prompts; the example reads procedural memory with `store.get` into the prompt template in a model-call node. `limit` not documented on the page. +10. Cursor rules (https://cursor.com/docs/context/rules). Four trigger modes, verbatim table: Always Apply ("Every chat session"; nothing decides relevance); Apply Intelligently (`description` set, no `globs`; "Only when Agent pulls it in"; "Agent reads the description and judges whether it fits"); Apply to Specific Files (`globs`; "Automatically, when a matching file is in context"; decided by path glob); Apply Manually (`@`-mention). Noise bound: "Keep each rule under 500 lines"; files referenced inside a rule are not inlined, "Agent reads it with its tools when it needs the content". Failure modes not documented on the page. +11. Cline Memory Bank (https://docs.cline.bot/prompting/cline-memory-bank). Trigger: custom instructions say Cline "MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task"; updates on new patterns, significant changes, the user's "update memory bank", or clarification needs. Relevance: none; fixed six core files (`activeContext.md` changes most) plus optional extras. Noise: docs describe no size limit or trimming; caveat "effectiveness depends on keeping the files accurate"; users manage context with `/newtask`, `/smol`, Auto Compact. +12. Aider repo map (https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html). Trigger: sent "with each change request". Relevance: graph ranking, "Each source file is a node, and edges connect files which have dependencies", selecting the parts "most relevant to the current state of the chat". Noise: token budget `--map-tokens`, default 1k; "can expand significantly, especially when no files have been added to the chat". +13. Claude Code's own just-in-time loads (hooks reference only): `InstructionsLoaded` event fires when a rule or nested CLAUDE.md loads, including from a subagent's file access (changelog 2.1.288), i.e. CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories load at file-access time.

Retrieval quality: thresholds, rerankers, rank fusion + +- Nearest-neighbour search always returns k: Azure AI Search docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/vector-search-how-to-query): "the search operation identifies nearest neighbors and always return `k` results, even if the nearest neighbors aren't that similar ... a response with no meaningful results can still return `k` results, but each result's similarity score would be low." Their mitigation: "set a minimum threshold on the search score, but only if the query is a pure single vector query. Hybrid queries aren't conducive to minimum thresholds because the RRF ranges are much smaller and more volatile." Threshold example: `threshold: {kind: vectorSimilarity, value: 0.8}`, applied "before fusing results from different recall sets"; feature in preview. This matches the shape of gap-semantic-page-no-score (carry per-hit score on the page). +- Scores are not comparable across methods: same Azure page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/hybrid-search-ranking): "Each algorithm has its own range and magnitude" (BM25 unbounded; cosine vector 0.333-1.00; RRF bounded by number of queries times about 1/k; semantic reranker 0.00-4.00). Debug subscores recommended for choosing threshold values. Mem0 OSS exposes the threshold used per result via `explain=True`. +- Reciprocal rank fusion: Cormack, Clarke, Buettcher, SIGIR 2009, pp. 758-759, DOI 10.1145/1571941.1572114 (https://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~gvcormac/cormacksigir09-rrf.pdf): score is the sum over rankings of 1/(k + rank), k = 60 "fixed during a pilot investigation and not altered during subsequent validation"; claimed to beat Condorcet Fuse and individual rank-learning methods. Implementations: Azure (`1/(rank + k)`, "performs best when you set k to a small value, such as 60"; used whenever "two or more queries execute in parallel", including "multiple vector queries"; per-query `weight` multiplies the rank score), Elasticsearch (https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/elasticsearch/rest-apis/reciprocal-rank-fusion: `rank_constant` default 60, `rank_window_size` per child retriever; the page does not mention a min-score filter), PyTerrier `RRFusion` (default k=60). RRF uses ranks only, so it carries no similarity magnitude; a threshold must be applied per query list before fusion (Azure) or on a separate scorer. +- Rerank after wide retrieval: Anthropic, Contextual Retrieval (https://www.anthropic.com/news/contextual-retrieval): retrieve top 150 candidates, rerank (Cohere), keep top 20; top-20 retrieval failure rate 5.7% to 1.9% (67% reduction) with contextual embeddings plus contextual BM25 plus reranking; passing 20 chunks beat 10 or 5; BM25 and embedding results combined "using rank fusion techniques" (method not named). Azure: with semantic ranking set `k` to 50, "Semantic ranker uses up to 50 matches as input." +- Cross-encoder reranker origin: Nogueira and Cho, "Passage Re-ranking with BERT", arXiv 1901.04085 (MRR@10 about +27% relative on MS MARCO at the time). BEIR (Thakur et al., arXiv 2104.08663, NeurIPS 2021 D&B): "re-ranking and late-interaction-based models on average achieve the best zero-shot performances", at high computational cost; dense and sparse "often underperform"; BM25 remains a robust baseline. +- Query shape: FLARE's ablation (section B.5) found a retrieval query with low-confidence tokens included worked worse than the masked one, and generated multi-question queries interleave their result lists into one ranked list. The gap-semantic-one-text-per-query follow-up (several texts embedded in one batch and fused by RR inside the organ) matches Azure's "multiple vector queries ... fused using RRF"; the fused-with-k=60 form is the documented default in Azure, Elasticsearch and PyTerrier. +- Local probe numbers already in the mind (not external): precision@3 11/12, @5 15/20, @10 about half over five prompts (gap-semantic-page-no-score); about 1.9 s per semantic call (gap-semantic-one-text-per-query). +- Not found in this pass: a published calibration method (Platt scaling, isotonic) applied to embedding cosine for dense retrieval thresholds; no source read gives a recommended cosine cutoff for a given embedding model.

We can use Rust for this, and there's a Rust CultCache. We can use Python, or TypeScript, or Kotlin, or whatever monstrosity Apple is forcing on us in iOS. Canonical implementations live only in `F:\Projects\CultLib`: `src\` is the C# reference runtime and `packages\*` holds every other runtime. CultCache keeps wire parity across runtimes against the C# reference. CultNet is built on CultCache and CultMesh on CultNet, so a cache change is a foundation change. The standalone `cultcache-rs`, `cultcache-py`, `cultnet-rs`, and `cultnet-ts` repos no longer exist; those names always mean the `CultLib\packages\` runtimes. There's also CultNet and CultMesh, which is how we expose our capabilities to the public Verse and expose our state to internal organs as a private Verse. A service earns a daemon only when independent lifecycle, privilege, resource, or failure isolation protects a named invariant; an organ does not earn a process merely because it has a name. Earned daemons publish their capabilities as typed CultMesh state; their operator surfaces (a dense TUI stream for agentic access and a GUI stream that runtimes lower into dashboards) move to Thing 2, Eve's successor, once its surface contract is ready.
