Fixes #2195

Summary

  • prepend bash only when a Windows hook directly invokes a .sh file
  • leave compound shell programs and existing bash/sh invocations unchanged

Impact

  • user-facing impact: compound hooks that mention .sh files no longer become invalid bash if ... commands on Windows
  • developer/maintainer impact: adds focused coverage for direct, quoted, escaped-space, delegated, and compound commands

Testing

  • I ran the required local preflight.
  • exact commands and results:
    • bun install --frozen-lockfile — passed
    • bun run check — passed
    • bun run typecheck — passed
    • bun run typecheck:type-tests — passed
    • node bin/openclaude --version — passed
    • NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 node bin/openclaude --version — passed
    • bun run test:provider — 1,628 passed; the stream-watchdog trace-file race failed and was reproduced unchanged on base commit 0ea8eefbd0d48735ddb9e6b8c9e7ee6957dc9b98
    • npm run test:provider-recommendation — 152 passed
    • bun run security:pr-scan -- --base FETCH_HEAD --head HEAD — passed
  • focused tests: bun test src/utils/hooks.windowsBash.test.ts — 1 passed, 8 assertions
  • documented skipped checks, platform limitations, or verified pre-existing failures: Windows end-to-end execution was not available locally; command preparation is covered as a platform-independent unit. The pre-existing provider failure is Claude stream watchdog > falls back when the top-level stream iterator never settles (interruption-trace.jsonl missing).

Notes

  • provider/model path tested: not applicable
  • screenshots attached (if UI changed): not applicable
  • follow-up work or known limitations: none

Reviewed CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Windows Bash hook handling so bash is added only when a hook directly invokes a shell script.
    • Prevented unrelated commands containing .sh—such as echo foo.sh—from being incorrectly modified.
    • Preserved existing behavior for commands already using bash or sh, compound commands, and environment-prefixed commands.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a helper that prepends bash only for direct .sh script commands. execCommandHook uses the helper on Windows, and tests cover quoted paths, escaped spaces, and compound commands.

Changes

Windows bash hook handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Direct script command preparation
src/utils/hooks.ts
Adds prepareWindowsBashHookCommand, which recognizes direct .sh script references and leaves other command forms unchanged.
Hook integration and validation
src/utils/hooks.ts, src/utils/hooks.windowsBash.test.ts
execCommandHook uses the helper. Tests cover direct script paths, existing bash/sh commands, compound conditionals, and env commands.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d5212

Windows hooks beginning with a .sh script and followed by shell operators can still be altered unexpectedly, risking failed hook execution. This should be fixed and covered before merge.

Keep compound commands unchanged.

Line 182 matches a leading script path before any whitespace. It rewrites ./hooks/check.sh && echo done and ./hooks/check.sh ; echo done to commands beginning with bash, although both are compound shell programs.

Detect a complete simple command instead of only the first .sh token. Add regression cases for a leading script followed by && and ;.

Greptile Summary

This PR narrows Windows hook command rewriting so only commands classified as direct .sh invocations receive a bash prefix.

  • Adds prepareWindowsBashHookCommand to classify direct script commands.
  • Replaces the previous broad .sh substring check in Windows hook execution.
  • Adds focused tests for quoted, escaped-space, delegated, and compound commands.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The Windows hook fix should not merge until valid direct script paths using shell quote concatenation are also recognized.

The new classifier leaves a reachable class of direct .sh commands unprefixed, preserving the Windows file-association failure that this change is intended to prevent.

Files Needing Attention: src/utils/hooks.ts, src/utils/hooks.windowsBash.test.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/utils/hooks.ts Introduces the direct-script classifier, but misses valid first shell words composed from quoted and unquoted segments.
src/utils/hooks.windowsBash.test.ts Adds useful classifier coverage but lacks a case for mixed quoted/unquoted path segments.

P1 Mixed quoting bypasses detection

When a direct Windows hook path combines quoted and unquoted segments, such as "/c/Program Files"/hooks/check.sh, the new regex does not recognize the first shell word and leaves the command unprefixed, causing Windows to open the script through its file association instead of executing the hook.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready. They come from one root cause in the new classifier rather than unrelated problems: the regex recognizes a few raw string shapes, but the behavior depends on which shell word is actually the executable after Bash interprets quoting, assignments, and redirections.

Findings

  • [P1] Preserve direct script words assembled with shell quoting
    src/utils/hooks.ts:182
    Bash concatenates adjacent quoted and unquoted fragments into one executable word. A normal plugin hook such as "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/hooks/check.sh --quiet can therefore become "/c/Program Files/plugin"/hooks/check.sh --quiet, and forms such as ./hooks/"my check.sh" --quiet and "./hooks/check".sh are also valid direct script invocations. The new alternatives accept a wholly quoted word or a wholly unquoted word, but reject these mixed forms. The base matcher prepended bash for the same inputs; the PR head returns them unchanged. On Windows that sends the direct .sh invocation back through the file-association/non-execution path this change is intended to prevent, so a hook can fail or block an event such as UserPromptSubmit. The added tests cover full-word quoting and escaped spaces, but not Bash quote concatenation. Please make the decision from the actual executable word and add mixed-quoting coverage. Preserve the current substitution order and do not broaden matching back to .sh text that appears only later in an unrelated program.

  • [P2] Distinguish the executable from assignment and function syntax
    src/utils/hooks.ts:182
    A leading raw word ending in .sh is not necessarily an invoked script. For example, SCRIPT=./hooks/check.sh echo ok invokes echo with an environment assignment, but the helper changes it to bash SCRIPT=./hooks/check.sh echo ok, making Bash treat the assignment text as a script filename. Likewise, check.sh () { echo ok; }; check.sh is a valid function definition and call; prepending bash produces a syntax error at (. The inverse form also matters: an assignment- or redirection-prefixed direct invocation such as DEBUG=1 ./hooks/check.sh or </dev/null ./hooks/check.sh still needs the Windows Bash accommodation, but the executable is not at byte zero. These behaviors existed in the broad base matcher, so this finding is an incomplete claimed fix rather than a newly introduced regression; it is in scope because this PR replaces that exact decision with a helper whose contract is “only direct shell scripts.” Please identify the executable position and grammatical role before inserting bash, while leaving assignments, redirections, and the rest of the command semantically intact.

Root-cause guidance

The repeated edge cases are a sign that adding another regex alternative will keep producing review rounds. Shell commands are not divided into “quoted path,” “unquoted path,” and “compound command” by their first characters. A simple command can start with assignments or redirections; one word can be assembled from several quoted and unquoted fragments; and operators after the first command do not change which executable runs first.

Please define and test the classifier around these invariants:

  • Prepend the Windows Bash accommodation only when the first simple command actually invokes a .sh script.
  • Respect shell-word concatenation, so fully quoted, escaped-space, and mixed quoted/unquoted paths have the same classification when they resolve to the same word.
  • Preserve assignment and redirection prefixes around a direct script instead of placing them where Bash interprets them as a script argument.
  • Leave explicit bash/sh invocation and delegated commands such as env DEBUG=1 ./check.sh unchanged, matching the PR's existing contract and tests; this helper should classify the command being invoked directly, not recursively rewrite another command's arguments.
  • Leave control structures, function definitions, assignment-only/non-script commands, and unrelated commands that merely mention .sh unchanged.
  • Treat unsupported or ambiguous syntax conservatively by returning the original command rather than guessing and corrupting it.
  • Preserve suffix arguments and operators. In particular, ./check.sh && echo done still begins with a direct script invocation, and bash ./check.sh && echo done is valid; do not adopt a blanket rule that every command containing an operator must remain unchanged.

A focused table-driven test matrix would make the intended boundary durable:

Input class Representative form Required behavior
Plain direct script ./hooks/check.sh --quiet Execute the script through Bash
Fully quoted direct script "/c/Program Files/hooks/check.sh" --quiet Execute the script through Bash
Mixed-quoted direct script "/c/Program Files"/hooks/check.sh --quiet Execute the script through Bash
Assignment-prefixed direct script DEBUG=1 ./hooks/check.sh Preserve the assignment and execute the script through Bash
Redirection-prefixed direct script </dev/null ./hooks/check.sh Preserve the redirection and execute the script through Bash
Explicit shell or delegated command bash ./hooks/check.sh, env DEBUG=1 ./hooks/check.sh Leave unchanged under the current helper contract
Assignment value ending in .sh SCRIPT=./hooks/check.sh echo ok Leave unchanged
Function identifier ending in .sh check.sh () { echo ok; }; check.sh Leave unchanged
Control structure mentioning .sh if [ -f ./hooks/check.sh ]; then ...; fi Leave unchanged
Direct script followed by an operator ./hooks/check.sh && echo done Keep the list valid and ensure the first script runs through Bash
Unrelated mention echo ./hooks/check.sh Leave unchanged
Malformed or unsupported syntax Unterminated quoting or an unparseable prefix Leave unchanged rather than guessing

The repository already has shell-tokenization utilities that may be useful to evaluate, but this review is not prescribing a particular parser or a broader hook-execution refactor. The smallest non-drifting fix is localized to this Windows/non-PowerShell preparation step: determine the real first executable, apply bash at that position only when it is a direct .sh invocation, and preserve every other part of the command. That addresses both findings together and should prevent another sequence of one-off regex follow-ups.

Closing as superseded by #2217, which already fixed #2195 by preserving compound Bash hook commands on Windows while adding bash for directly invoked shell scripts. #2254 subsequently extended that existing implementation to uppercase and mixed-case .sh extensions.

Verified that both merged commits are present on main at c56c68f0630a2d8dc346709ab8e1f7eeb2eaa38a and that the production Windows/non-PowerShell hook path calls getWindowsBashHookCommand. The existing focused suite (bun test ./src/utils/hooks/windowsBashCommand.test.ts) passed all 51 tests, including real Bash execution; native Windows process spawning was not tested.

The original fix is already covered on current main, so rebasing this older implementation would add no needed behavior. Thank you for working on this.
