Claude Code audit hook has blind spot for unrelated file modifications

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This occurs because the current hook only checks if the file was written to, not if the specific change claimed was actually made. To address this, the author is considering a protocol change where the agent declares its changes in a structured format, allowing for easier human review, but has instead shipped a test file documenting the gap and published this post to inform users.
