Item #401.

  • .githooks/* now chain to the repo's own .git/hooks/* (core.hooksPath previously hid them), propagating failures and replaying stdin for pre-push / reference-transaction.
  • prepare-commit-msg skips provenance stamping during rebase, merge and cherry-pick.
  • Fixes the reference-transaction exit status for a local veto.
  • Adds scripts/test-githooks-chaining.sh (17 checks, all pass locally).

Idea source: git-lrc hook dispatcher (behavior only, no code copied).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Repository-local Git hooks can run alongside project hooks for commits, merges, pushes, and reference updates.
    • Hook arguments and input are preserved where applicable, and enforcing hooks can stop an operation when they fail.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Commit-message provenance stamping is skipped during rebases, merges, and cherry-picks.
    • Post-commit hook failures do not interrupt completion of a commit.
    • Push and reference-update checks continue to receive their original input when local hooks run.

…uring rebase/merge/cherry-pick

core.hooksPath=.githooks hid <git-dir>/hooks, so pre-existing local hooks never ran. Each installed hook now execs the local one (stdin buffered for pre-push/reference-transaction); prepare-commit-msg skips stamping while rebase/merge/cherry-pick is in progress.

Walkthrough

Git hooks now chain to eligible repository hooks with hook-specific failure handling. Push and reference-transaction hooks capture and replay standard input. Prepare-commit-msg skips provenance stamping during rebase, merge, and cherry-pick operations. A Bash test script checks chaining, input replay, and these state-dependent behaviors.

Changes: Git Hook Chaining

Layer / File(s) Summary
Commit hook chaining
.githooks/post-commit, .githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/pre-merge-commit, .githooks/prepare-commit-msg, scripts/test-githooks-chaining.sh
Commit hooks invoke eligible local hooks and apply their specified failure behavior. Prepare-commit-msg skips stamping during rebase, merge, or cherry-pick. Tests cover the commit-hook paths.
Push and reference-transaction input handling
.githooks/pre-push, .githooks/reference-transaction, scripts/test-githooks-chaining.sh
The hooks capture standard input for local-hook chaining and their own processing. Reference-transaction failures propagate in preparing and prepared states and are ignored in other states. Tests cover input replay and failure handling.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @.githooks/pre-merge-commit:
- Line 18: Update the pre-merge-commit hook to invoke the local pre-commit hook
once without setting AGENTFLARE_HOOK_CHAINED=1, which causes the pre-commit
checks to be skipped. Update the corresponding test to expect that invocation.

Review comments at @.githooks/reference-transaction:
- Line 42: Update the local hook status check in the reference-transaction
handler so a nonzero `af_rc` vetoes both the `preparing` and `prepared` states.
Preserve the existing behavior of ignoring failures in post-commit states.

… veto in the preparing state

Address CodeRabbit on #959: a custom local pre-merge-commit need not call pre-commit, so the merge hook no longer suppresses the local pre-commit chain; git >= 2.46 also aborts on a non-zero exit in the preparing state.
