+239 tests run on Node's built-in test runner (`node:test`) with no external framework. They cover the transform layer — the part with real logic rather than file copying — and all seven hooks, whose contract is a process exit code rather than a return value:
 
 - `tests/frontmatter.test.js` — the shared frontmatter parser and validators: CRLF endings, an empty body, a missing block, array-shaped values like `tools: [Read, Grep]`, a description that contains a colon, and the required-field and description-length checks.
 - `tests/cursor-transform.test.js` — `toCursorRule` across the with-frontmatter, without-frontmatter, and already-declares-`alwaysApply` cases, body-spacing normalization, and `globs` injection / `globsForLanguage` mapping.
 - `tests/codex-transform.test.js` — `renameSkill`, `agentToSkill`, and `ruleToSkill`: field drops, body preservation, description fallback, and null on input that has no frontmatter.
 - `tests/opencode-transform.test.js` — `agentToOpenCodeAgent` (sets `mode: subagent`, drops `name`/`tools`/`model`, preserves the body) and `commandToOpenCode` (keeps `description`, drops `argument-hint`, preserves `$ARGUMENTS`).
 - `tests/protect-generated-dirs.test.js` — the hook is a script, not a function, so this runs the real thing as a child process and asserts on its exit code (`0` allow / `2` block): every generated location blocks, source files and the user-editable `.mcp.json` / `opencode.json` do not, Windows separators and absolute paths normalize, each block message names the right source file, and a malformed payload fails open rather than wedging the session.
+- `tests/hooks.test.js` — the other six guards, characterized: which `git` forms `block-no-verify` and `block-force-push` catch (and that a feature branch may be force-pushed), the exact catastrophic shapes `guard-dangerous-bash` blocks (and that `rm -rf ./build` is not one), twelve ecosystems' lockfiles, the secret patterns `secret-scan-on-edit` rejects versus the `process.env` reference it welcomes, and `block-secret-file-stage` resolving a sweeping `git add .` against a real temporary repository. Every hook is asserted to **fail open** on empty, malformed, and unexpected payloads — a hook that throws blocks every tool call in the session.
 
 CI (`.github/workflows/sync-check.yml`) runs three jobs on every push and pull request: sync determinism, frontmatter lint, and the test suite. A `release` workflow cuts a GitHub Release from a `v*` tag and the matching CHANGELOG section, gated on the same three checks.

+// agentry — characterization tests for the six PreToolUse guard hooks.
+//
+// These pin what the hooks actually do today, so a later change to a regex or a
+// pathspec parser cannot silently widen or narrow a guard. Each hook is a script
+// with a process contract (JSON on stdin, exit 0 allow / exit 2 block), so the
+// tests spawn the real script rather than importing anything.
+//
+// protect-generated-dirs has its own file; it was the one hook with a defect.
+//
+// A note on what is NOT asserted: none of these hooks inspects `tool_name`. They
+// rely on the `matcher` in settings.json to route only the relevant tool calls to
+// them, and read `tool_input.command` (Bash guards) or `tool_input.file_path`
+// (Write/Edit guards). Fed the wrong shape they read `undefined` and exit 0,
+// which is why the fail-open block below matters.
