+//! `huginn recall dispatch`: the Claude Code `PreToolUse` hook on `Agent`.
+//!
+//! A brief that cites rulings, questions or follow-ups gets, appended to its
+//! prompt, the in-force records nearest each of them. Claude Code's hook JSON
+//! is the one format Huginn does not own: it is read as a `Value`, every key
+//! is kept, and only the fields recall uses are looked at. The output is one
+//! line, `updatedInput` (the tool input with only `prompt` changed) and an
+//! `additionalContext` naming the appended ids; never a permission decision.
+//!
+//! The hook never blocks: every runtime failure, a malformed input and the
+//! deadline included, exits 0 with nothing printed. Silence is also the
+//! answer when no cited record could be checked. Nothing is stored.
