Night Market Debugging Playbook

Match the symptom to a row, run the one discriminating command, apply the known fix. Every row below is a failure this repo has already paid for, with the commit hash that settled it. Do not re-derive a diagnosis that archaeology already produced.

Vocabulary

Terms used throughout, defined once:

Hook: a script Claude Code runs on events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart). Registered in a plugin's hooks/hooks.json with a command and a timeout.
Hook budget: that registered timeout in seconds. The harness kills the hook when it expires, before any output is honored.
Host interpreter: hooks run as python3 ... under the machine's system Python (floor: 3.9), NOT the repo's uv-managed 3.12 venv. Third-party packages a plugin declares are not guaranteed present.
skrills: optional Rust binary for skill validation and analysis. Every Makefile target that uses it has a Python fallback.
Import chain: everything a import x transitively pulls in, including the plugin's __init__.py.

Triage runbooks

1. ModuleNotFoundError from a hook on every commit

First command (substitute the hook path from the error message):

echo '{}' | python3 plugins/gauntlet/hooks/precommit_gate.py; echo "exit=$?"

What the result means: a traceback names the module whose import chain pulls in a package the host interpreter lacks. Exit 0 with no output means the hook is import-safe and the problem is elsewhere (check the hook registration in hooks/hooks.json).

Fix: guard the import at module level or defer it into the function that needs it. The gauntlet incident: precommit_gate.py imported gauntlet.knowledge_store, whose __init__.py eagerly imported modules doing bare import yaml and import anthropic. Guarded in 45dd77ef (#518), deferred in 9bfc0a7a. Add a regression test that blocks the package via a sys.meta_path blocker and re-imports the hook (pattern in plugins/gauntlet/tests/unit/test_challenges.py).

2. python39-compat is the only failing check

The repo is Python 3.12, but hook scripts and their transitive imports must stay importable under Python 3.9 (.github/workflows/ python39-compat.yml). First command:

uv run ruff check --select UP007 --target-version py39 plugins/<plugin>/hooks/
rg -n 'datetime\.UTC|from datetime import UTC' plugins/<plugin>/

What the result means: UP007 hits are bare X | Y union annotations that raise TypeError at import time on 3.9. The rg hits are the datetime.UTC alias (3.11+), which UP007 does not catch. Either one in a hook import chain breaks every hook at once: on PR #511 a single datetime.UTC in leyline.quota_tracker produced three cascade failures (18c9340d).

Fix: use from datetime import timezone with timezone.utc, and typing.Union/Optional or a from __future__ import annotations line for unions. To mirror CI's Gate 2 locally (verified 2026-07-02):

uv venv --python 3.9 /tmp/hook39
VIRTUAL_ENV=/tmp/hook39 uv pip install pytest pyyaml
cd plugins/abstract
/tmp/hook39/bin/python -m pytest tests/hooks --override-ini="addopts="

The addopts override strips per-plugin coverage flags that need packages the bare venv lacks. See also the linter trap below: ruff will fight this fix.

3. Hook exits 0 but never does anything

First command:

rg -l 'CLAUDE_TOOL_' plugins/*/hooks/
rg -ln 'read_hook_payload' plugins/*/hooks/

What the result means: Claude Code never sets CLAUDE_TOOL_* environment variables. The payload arrives as JSON on stdin. A hook reading only env vars is a silent no-op: it exits 0, CI is green, and nothing downstream ever happens. This starved the [Learning] discussion digests for two months (last digest 2026-04-25) before anyone noticed (CHANGELOG 1.9.14).

Fix: read stdin first via the canonical reader plugins/abstract/hooks/shared/hook_io.py (read_hook_payload, stdin-first with env-var fallback for the test harness). Then verify the hook actually fires: pipe a realistic payload in and check for the side effect rather than the exit code alone.

4. capabilities-sync CI fails

First command:

bash scripts/capabilities-sync-check.sh

What the result means: the script diffs every plugin's .claude-plugin/plugin.json registrations against book/src/reference/capabilities-reference.md and prints the drifted entries. PASSED: All capabilities are in sync means the CI failure was against an older commit. Rebase and rerun.

Fix: run the sanctum sync command with the fix flag:

/sanctum:sync-capabilities --fix

5. Root pytest raises ImportPathMismatchError

First command:

rg -n 'norecursedirs' pyproject.toml

What the result means: root pytest excludes plugins/* on purpose. Plugins carry duplicate test module names and conftest fixtures, and collecting them from the root collides (documented in conftest.py). If you see this error you ran pytest across plugin boundaries.

Fix: run tests per plugin, never from the root against plugins:

cd plugins/imbue && uv run pytest tests/unit/test_deferred_capture.py -x -q
make sanctum-test          # delegation target, any plugin name works
./scripts/run-plugin-tests.sh --all

6. slop-check fails on a PR

First command: read the PR comment the workflow posts (it lists the failing files and scores), then reproduce locally. The score is tier-1 hits x3 plus tier-2 hits x2 plus em dashes, per 100 words, threshold 3.0. Copy the TIER1 and TIER2 regexes from .github/workflows/slop-check.yml rather than retyping the word lists, then:

grep -o '—' docs/<file>.md | wc -l
grep -oiE "$TIER1" docs/<file>.md | wc -l

Fix: rewrite per .claude/rules/slop-scan-for-docs.md. Replace em dashes with colons or periods, and replace the flagged vocabulary with plain words. Never de-slop historical CHANGELOG entries.

7. Stop hook produces no verdict at all

First command:

rg -n '"timeout"' plugins/herald/hooks/hooks.json
rg -n 'TIMEOUT' plugins/herald/hooks/double_shot_latte.py

What the result means: if any subprocess or LLM-call timeout inside the hook is greater than or equal to the registered hook budget, the harness kills the whole hook before it can print a decision, and the hook dies without emitting anything. Herald shipped LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 30 inside a 10-second registered budget (fixed in 268cff89: capped to 8 with startup margin, and the LLM second shot gated to the single ambiguous outcome).

Fix: cap every inner timeout strictly below the registered budget and pin the invariant with a guard test, as in plugins/herald/tests/unit/test_double_shot_latte.py:: test_llm_timeout_fits_within_hook_timeout. Deterministic tests do not exercise optional LLM branches, so the timeout relation must be asserted directly.

8. CI broken on an action or tool pin

First command:

python3 scripts/check_pinned_versions.py

What the result means: the script checks GitHub-sourced pins (CI actions in .github/workflows/*, external rev: hooks in .pre-commit-config.yaml) against upstream and prints stale or held pins with reasons. Two settled incidents: setup-uv@v8 failed because the bare v8 tag does not exist upstream (pinned to v8.2.0, f81d89a5), and bandit 1.9+ dropped Python 3.9 support (held at 1.8.6, 25bf5a9d).

Fix: pin to a full existing tag, and when holding a version back, record the reason where the checker reports it so the hold is visible.

9. Scanner reports nothing on input you know is bad

First command: feed the scanner one deliberately malformed file and watch for an ADVISORY finding. Silence is the bug. Then look for the swallow:

rg -n 'except' scripts/check_hook_modernization.py

What the result means: an except-and-continue block in a scanner loop drops unparseable files without a trace, so the worst inputs are exactly the ones never reported. Incidents B1-B4 (666171c3, #575, and b6de71cf) covered hook-modernization scanning, strict-mode file drops, and DORA metrics rating malformed tags as Elite.

Fix: Constitution rule 10. Errors are not optional: emit an advisory finding for each skipped file or propagate. Never catch-and-continue without output.

10. skrills not found

First command:

make validate-skills

What the result means: skrills not available, using Python fallback followed by scripts/check_plugin_hooks.py output is normal operation rather than an error. make analyze-skills falls back to scripts/generate_dependency_map.py. Only build the binary if you need the Rust path:

make skrills-build    # needs cargo and the skrills repo at $HOME/skrills
                      # (override with SKRILLS_REPO=/path)

Traps that cost real time

The linter fights the fix

Ruff's pyupgrade rule UP017 auto-rewrites timezone.utc back to the 3.11-only datetime.UTC, silently reverting the py39 fix on the next make lint. This recurred at least three times (18c9340d, b0049fde, 709dafc9) before the durable defense landed: UP017 in root pyproject.toml extend-ignore, per-line suppression comments with a stated reason where needed (Constitution rule 6 requires the reason), and above all an AST-scanning invariant test (plugins/leyline/tests/test_python39_compat.py) that fails CI on any reintroduction. Lesson: when an autofixer keeps reverting your fix, re-applying is attempt N of an infinite loop. Encode the invariant as a test that scans the source.

The green gate that checks nothing

A green check proves only that the gate's own spec was satisfied. A gate can be quietly configured to check nothing and stay green. The global mirrors-mypy pre-commit hook silently disabled 13 error codes, and typecheck ran --changed instead of --all (fixed in 1.9.12: neutered hook removed, run-plugin-typecheck --all, typecheck.yml gating every PR). Discriminating test for any suspicious gate: introduce one known violation and confirm the gate goes red. If it stays green, the bug is inside the gate itself.

The cache-dir relative path

Plugins execute from Claude Code's cache directory rather than the repo checkout, so a CWD-relative path in a hook resolves to nothing. The conserve session-start hook broke exactly this way and

## Triage runbooks

### 1. ModuleNotFoundError from a hook on every commit

First command (substitute the hook path from the error message):

```bash
echo '{}' | python3 plugins/gauntlet/hooks/precommit_gate.py; echo "exit=$?"
```

What the result means: a traceback names the module whose import chain
pulls in a package the host interpreter lacks. Exit 0 with no output
means the hook is import-safe and the problem is elsewhere (check the
hook registration in `hooks/hooks.json`).

Fix: guard the import at module level or defer it into the function
that needs it. The gauntlet incident: `precommit_gate.py` imported
`gauntlet.knowledge_store`, whose `__init__.py` eagerly imported
modules doing bare `import yaml` and `import anthropic`. Guarded in
45dd77ef (#518), deferred in 9bfc0a7a. Add a regression test that
blocks the package via a `sys.meta_path` blocker and re-imports the
hook (pattern in `plugins/gauntlet/tests/unit/test_challenges.py`).

### 2. python39-compat is the only failing check

The repo is Python 3.12, but hook scripts and their transitive imports
must stay importable under Python 3.9 (`.github/workflows/
python39-compat.yml`). First command:

```bash
uv run ruff check --select UP007 --target-version py39 plugins/<plugin>/hooks/
rg -n 'datetime\.UTC|from datetime import UTC' plugins/<plugin>/
```

What the result means: UP007 hits are bare `X | Y` union annotations
that raise TypeError at import time on 3.9. The `rg` hits are the
`datetime.UTC` alias (3.11+), which UP007 does not catch. Either one
in a hook import chain breaks every hook at once: on PR #511 a single
`datetime.UTC` in `leyline.quota_tracker` produced three cascade
failures (18c9340d).

Fix: use `from datetime import timezone` with `timezone.utc`, and
`typing.Union`/`Optional` or a `from __future__ import annotations`
line for unions. To mirror CI's Gate 2 locally (verified 2026-07-02):

```bash
uv venv --python 3.9 /tmp/hook39
VIRTUAL_ENV=/tmp/hook39 uv pip install pytest pyyaml
cd plugins/abstract
/tmp/hook39/bin/python -m pytest tests/hooks --override-ini="addopts="
```

The `addopts` override strips per-plugin coverage flags that need
packages the bare venv lacks. See also the linter trap below: ruff
will fight this fix.

### 3. Hook exits 0 but never does anything

First command:

```bash
rg -l 'CLAUDE_TOOL_' plugins/*/hooks/
rg -ln 'read_hook_payload' plugins/*/hooks/
```

What the result means: Claude Code never sets `CLAUDE_TOOL_*`
environment variables. The payload arrives as JSON on stdin. A hook
reading only env vars is a silent no-op: it exits 0, CI is green, and
nothing downstream ever happens. This starved the `[Learning]`
discussion digests for two months (last digest 2026-04-25) before
anyone noticed (CHANGELOG 1.9.14).

Fix: read stdin first via the canonical reader
`plugins/abstract/hooks/shared/hook_io.py` (`read_hook_payload`,
stdin-first with env-var fallback for the test harness). Then verify
the hook actually fires: pipe a realistic payload in and check for the
side effect rather than the exit code alone.

### 4. capabilities-sync CI fails

First command:

```bash
bash scripts/capabilities-sync-check.sh
```

What the result means: the script diffs every plugin's
`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` registrations against
`book/src/reference/capabilities-reference.md` and prints the drifted
entries. `PASSED: All capabilities are in sync` means the CI failure
was against an older commit. Rebase and rerun.

Fix: run the sanctum sync command with the fix flag:

```
/sanctum:sync-capabilities --fix
```

### 5. Root pytest raises ImportPathMismatchError

First command:

```bash
rg -n 'norecursedirs' pyproject.toml
```

What the result means: root pytest excludes `plugins/*` on purpose.
Plugins carry duplicate test module names and conftest fixtures, and
collecting them from the root collides (documented in `conftest.py`).
If you see this error you ran `pytest` across plugin boundaries.

Fix: run tests per plugin, never from the root against plugins:

```bash
cd plugins/imbue && uv run pytest tests/unit/test_deferred_capture.py -x -q
make sanctum-test          # delegation target, any plugin name works
./scripts/run-plugin-tests.sh --all
```

### 6. slop-check fails on a PR

First command: read the PR comment the workflow posts (it lists the
failing files and scores), then reproduce locally. The score is
tier-1 hits x3 plus tier-2 hits x2 plus em dashes, per 100 words,
threshold 3.0. Copy the `TIER1` and `TIER2` regexes from
`.github/workflows/slop-check.yml` rather than retyping the word
lists, then:

```bash
grep -o '—' docs/<file>.md | wc -l
grep -oiE "$TIER1" docs/<file>.md | wc -l
```

Fix: rewrite per `.claude/rules/slop-scan-for-docs.md`. Replace em
dashes with colons or periods, and replace the flagged vocabulary with
plain words. Never de-slop historical CHANGELOG entries.

### 7. Stop hook produces no verdict at all

First command:

```bash
rg -n '"timeout"' plugins/herald/hooks/hooks.json
rg -n 'TIMEOUT' plugins/herald/hooks/double_shot_latte.py
```

What the result means: if any subprocess or LLM-call timeout inside
the hook is greater than or equal to the registered hook budget, the
harness kills the whole hook before it can print a decision, and the
hook dies without emitting anything. Herald shipped `LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS =
30` inside a 10-second registered budget (fixed in 268cff89: capped to
8 with startup margin, and the LLM second shot gated to the single
ambiguous outcome).

Fix: cap every inner timeout strictly below the registered budget and
pin the invariant with a guard test, as in
`plugins/herald/tests/unit/test_double_shot_latte.py::`
`test_llm_timeout_fits_within_hook_timeout`. Deterministic tests do
not exercise optional LLM branches, so the timeout relation must be
asserted directly.

### 8. CI broken on an action or tool pin

First command:

```bash
python3 scripts/check_pinned_versions.py
```

What the result means: the script checks GitHub-sourced pins (CI
actions in `.github/workflows/*`, external `rev:` hooks in
`.pre-commit-config.yaml`) against upstream and prints stale or held
pins with reasons. Two settled incidents: `setup-uv@v8` failed because
the bare `v8` tag does not exist upstream (pinned to `v8.2.0`,
f81d89a5), and bandit 1.9+ dropped Python 3.9 support (held at 1.8.6,
25bf5a9d).

Fix: pin to a full existing tag, and when holding a version back,
record the reason where the checker reports it so the hold is visible.

and DORA metrics rating malformed tags as Elite.

Fix: Constitution rule 10. Errors are not optional: emit an advisory
finding for each skipped file or propagate. Never catch-and-continue
without output.

### 10. skrills not found

First command:

```bash
make validate-skills
```

What the result means: `skrills not available, using Python fallback`
followed by `scripts/check_plugin_hooks.py` output is normal
operation rather than an error. `make analyze-skills` falls back to
`scripts/generate_dependency_map.py`. Only build the binary if you
need the Rust path:

```bash
make skrills-build    # needs cargo and the skrills repo at $HOME/skrills
                      # (override with SKRILLS_REPO=/path)
```

## Traps that cost real time

### The linter fights the fix

Ruff's pyupgrade rule UP017 auto-rewrites `timezone.utc` back to the
3.11-only `datetime.UTC`, silently reverting the py39 fix on the next
`make lint`. This recurred at least three times (18c9340d, b0049fde,
709dafc9) before the durable defense landed: `UP017` in root
`pyproject.toml` `extend-ignore`, per-line suppression comments with a
stated reason where needed (Constitution rule 6 requires the reason),
and above all an AST-scanning invariant test

reintroduction. Lesson: when an autofixer keeps reverting your fix,
