A cron run declares itself non-interactive, so the hooks stop stranding it - #327
Conversation
…ng it Both runners invoke `claude --print`, where nothing re-wakes the session when a backgrounded command finishes (#249: `Monitor` returns immediately and abandons the wait it was armed for). The claude-config `background-build-tasks` and `background-poll-loops` PreToolUse hooks rewrite long builds and waits to `run_in_background` — right for an interactive session, and for this one it strands the caller: the only way left to learn a result is to poll, and every probe re-reads the whole context. MEASURED, 20260816T170156Z, worker on S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy#300: `nix develop -c rainix-sol-static` was backgrounded by the build hook, the `sleep 90` waiting on it by the poll hook, and the worker fell back to ~25 `wc -l`/`tail` probes against a 121,112-token context — about $1.60 of that worker's $5.19, on a check that never went green. 113 tool calls to route one PR, roughly a third of them watching a log file. This is the DECLARING half only. The hooks that read it are thedavidmeister/ claude-config#10, and until that lands this string is inert — a stamp nothing reads changes no behaviour, which is why it can land first. IN THE CONTEXT, not an environment variable: a hook is handed a `transcript_path` and reads it, so the run's own identity is already where the question gets asked, and it survives anything that re-execs or re-parents the process. IN BOTH the main prompt and the dispatched-agent brief. Whether a subagent's `transcript_path` names its own trace or its parent's is not settled here — `guard-runaway-agents.sh` resolving subagent traces by `find` rather than by that field suggests the parent's, but stamping both costs ~40 bytes at runtime and makes the question moot rather than load-bearing. APPENDED at runtime, not written into the prompt files: it is a property of this INVOCATION rather than of the prompt's text, and the prompt files are collectively capped (`prompt cap` CI, 153919 bytes, currently 147706 — 96%), so a runtime stamp costs none of the 6213 bytes left. The value is a magic string rather than a word because a session DISCUSSING this mechanism must not exempt itself, which a plain word like "noninteractive" would. ## QA - Discriminating tests: n/a — no test suite covers these shell runners, and the behaviour this enables lives in the hooks (claude-config#10) where its tests belong. Verified directly instead: `bash -n` on both runners, and the worker brief rendered through the real `jq` expression, whose last line is the pragma. - Mutations applied: n/a — a docs/config-shaped change with no branch to mutate; the string either reaches the context or it does not, which the render check above shows. - Oracle: the hook contract — `transcript_path` is the payload field `no-filler-adjectives.py` already reads, and the pragma must appear in the bytes at that path. Confirmed by rendering the brief and the prompt and grepping for the value, independent of any hook implementation. - Category check: issue asks for the runner side of the non-interactive pragma; covered for both the producer and the vetter, main prompt and agent brief. The reading side is claude-config#10 and deliberately not here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
