Hook truncation no longer splits a surrogate pair: subagent-stop, post-tool-failure, task-completed, session-end and truncateCaptureOutput (used by post-tool-use) cut through a new truncateText, which steps back one unit when the cut would land between the two halves of a pair. Fixes #1597.

.slice(0, n) counts UTF-16 units, so an emoji at the limit left a lone high surrogate in the observation. Text within the limit is sent unchanged. After this, every length cut in src/hooks is pair-safe; stop.ts already was.

Overlaps the PR for #1596 in subagent-stop.ts: whichever lands second resolves one hunk and rebuilds plugin/scripts/subagent-stop.mjs.

Not covered: the same cut in integrations/ and the opencode plugin, and server-side cuts such as the session firstPrompt.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved text truncation across tool, session, subagent, and task outputs.
    • Unicode characters such as emoji are no longer split or corrupted when text reaches its length limit.
    • Existing truncation limits and output suffixes remain unchanged.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for truncation at character boundaries, including complete and partially truncated emoji.
    • Added integration checks across supported hook output types.

subagent-stop, post-tool-failure, task-completed, session-end and
truncateCaptureOutput, which post-tool-use applies to tool output, cut
captured text with slice(0, n). An emoji at the limit was split, and the
hook sent a lone high surrogate.

The cut now goes through truncateText, which steps back one unit when it
would land inside a pair, as stop.ts and the server-side truncation
already do. Text within the limit is unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Hook capture truncation now checks UTF-16 surrogate boundaries while retaining existing limits and suffix behavior. The change covers source hooks and plugin scripts. Unit and integration tests exercise values that fit or cross the boundary.

Changes: Hook truncation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Surrogate-safe truncation and hook capture
src/hooks/_capture-filter.ts, src/hooks/post-tool-failure.ts, src/hooks/session-end.ts, src/hooks/subagent-stop.ts, src/hooks/task-completed.ts, plugin/scripts/*.mjs
Truncation paths use helpers that avoid leaving a lone high surrogate at the boundary. Existing truncation limits and suffix behavior remain unchanged.
Boundary and hook-level tests
test/capture-filter.test.ts, test/hook-truncation.test.ts
Tests cover text within the limit, fitting surrogate pairs, and pairs that truncation would split across the supported hooks.

Explanation

Issue #1597 requires pair-safe truncation at the five hook sites and unchanged text within the limit. The source hooks use truncateText for subagent-stop at 4000, post-tool-failure at 4000, task-completed at 2000, session-end at 8000, and truncateCaptureOutput. The generated plugin/scripts/*.mjs files include the same behavior. Unit and integration tests cover unchanged text, boundary-fitting pairs, split pairs, and all listed hooks.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #1597. They add the shared truncation helper, update the five requested hook paths and generated scripts, and add focused unit and integration tests. No changes target the excluded integrations/, opencode plugin, or server-side truncation paths.
