Lifecycle authority sourceIBM Bob 1.126.0+bob2.2.0 (commit 30bf4b86) hook runtime in the bob-code extension; exit code 2 blocks except at SessionStart, PostCompact, PostToolUse and Stop, which log "<event> hooks cannot block"; read from the installed extension on 2026-09-26. PreCompact is deliberately absent: it fires around context compaction, not around a tool call, and whether its blocking exit can prevent a tool call is not established, so it stays NOT_DETERMINED.
Notes—
ReasonThe control ran at PreToolUse, received the prohibited write, and Bob cancelled the tool call citing this control.

NotesNo bound ledger rows; ledger_corroborated is NOT_DETERMINED.
ReasonThe control is present in the Bob configuration but produced no execution evidence in this session, so it inspected nothing and blocked nothing.
