Summary

• The gap this closes. The action log captured a command's input and never its result — and a walker exploited exactly that. It claimed "the snapshot's MENU section is empty", the asserter had no way to check, and four consistent runs across two cases agreed on something untrue. Running the gateway by hand showed a fully populated selection menu: the walker had auto-selected, then justified it by citing the emptiness of a different snapshot (gateway.cjs view, not the bare selection call).
• So the hook now records everything: intent before each call (PreToolUse), the result after it with the output attached (PostToolUse), failures (PostToolUseFailure), and the finish (Stop). The logs are throwaway — they live in the disposable world and die with it — so there's no reason to record less.
• All three agents are instrumented, each for what it can get wrong:

• The asserter is now told the record settles claims about output: where its account of what a command returned disagrees with the record, the record wins and the discrepancy is itself a finding.

Test plan

• npm test green: 1699 tests, 0 fail.
• Hook unit-tested directly for both event shapes; the rendered view shows results inline:

  1. PostToolUse         Bash   cd . && node x.cjs
     → ok: === MENU === Which feature? - 1 Pay
  2. PreToolUse          Read   ./.workflows/x.md

• Output truncated to 400 chars per entry to keep the asserter prompt manageable.
• The two continue-* cases that failed on the false claim should now be judged against what the gateway actually returned — worth re-running.
