Plugins can now observe dangerous-command approval events in real time,
on both the CLI-interactive path and the async gateway path. This is the
missing hook surface external tools need to build approval notifiers
(macOS menu-bar allow/deny, Slack alerts, audit logs, etc.) without
forking Hermes or running a parallel gateway adapter.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add two entries to VALID_HOOKS
- tools/approval.py: fire both hooks from check_all_command_guards --
around prompt_dangerous_approval (CLI surface) and around the
notify_cb + blocking event.wait loop (gateway surface)
- website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md: document both hooks with
a macOS-notification example
- tests/tools/test_approval_plugin_hooks.py: 5 tests covering CLI once,
CLI deny, plugin-crash resilience, gateway approve, gateway timeout
Hooks are observer-only: return values are ignored, so plugins cannot
veto or pre-answer an approval (use pre_tool_call for that). A crashing
plugin cannot break the approval flow -- invoke_hook swallows per-
callback errors, and the wrapper logs and swallows dispatch-layer
errors too.
Surface kwarg distinguishes "cli" from "gateway"; post hook reports
choice as one of once/session/always/deny/timeout.
