# KB — hooks and Factory

- Test hooks directly with fixture input before relying on them.
- Keep hook output bounded; route verbose diagnostics to files.
- Do not poll or make observers execution authorities.
- Factory phases must remain explicit and foreground-owned: do not add daemon, watchdog, or automatic relaunch behavior.
- Preserve durable evidence and report bounded failures instead of retrying blindly.
