perf(agent-setup): parse notify hook payloads with bash builtins - #8922
The notify hook runs on every agent hook event, which for Claude Code means every tool call. It parsed each field with an echo | grep | head | grep | tr pipeline, escaped values with sed, and read org manifests the same way. With logging shims on PATH, one Claude Stop event started 61 programs and a UserPromptSubmit started 58.
On macOS machines with endpoint security agents (EDR, DLP), each program start waits for those agents. On the machine where I found this, starting /usr/bin/true took 33 to 80 ms (median), and Superset's hooks were the largest source of new processes on that machine.
The hook now parses with bash builtins only (read, [[ =~ ]], parameter expansion). The same two events now start only curl (2 calls).
Behaviour is kept: the first match wins, an empty value falls through to the next alias, and the preview stays a JSON string literal.
One trap found while testing: ${INPUT%$'\n'} takes about 7 s on a 200 KB payload in bash 3.2 with a UTF-8 locale, so the trailing newline trim checks the suffix with a glob and cuts by length.
The marker goes to v21 so installed hooks are rewritten.
How I tested it
bun test src/notify-hook.test.ts in packages/agent-setup: 55 pass on macOS /bin/bash 3.2.57, and 55 pass in oven/bun:1.3.5 (Debian, bash 5.2.37, curl installed).
New test parses the payload and org manifests without starting text tools puts failing cat, grep, head, sed and tr shims first on PATH. It fails on main (no request reaches the fake host) and passes with this change.
Wall-clock time per hook run, median of 3, v1 port closed:
macOS, bash 3.2, machine under load: 1 KB payload 1885 ms → 123 ms, 200 KB payload 1080 ms → 317 ms. The old numbers swing with load (762 ms and 389 ms on an earlier run).
Linux container, bash 5.2: 1 KB 28 ms → 9 ms, 200 KB 103 ms → 57 ms.
bun run lint passes, and the root typecheck (turbo typecheck, 40 of 40 tasks) passes with Bun 1.4.3 from packageManager. Bun 1.3.5 installs a tree on which @superset/auth and its dependents fail to typecheck, unrelated to this change.
Full bun test in packages/agent-setup: the same 4 tests fail with and without this change in each environment (artifact guard tests on macOS; copilot wrapper and shell-wrapper tests in the container). None of them touch the notify hook.

Notification hooks now parse event details and dispatch notifications without relying on several external command-line tools. Notification identity, transcript paths, and previews continue to be handled, including previews containing characters that need escaping. The hook also recognizes the updated marker version, keeping notification processing aligned with the current hook format.
The notify hook runs on every agent hook event and parsed each field with
echo|grep|head|grep|tr pipelines, sed for escaping, and the same pipeline
for org manifests: about 60 program starts per event. On machines with
endpoint security agents every program start waits for those agents.
Parse with read, [[ =~ ]] and parameter expansion instead, so an event
starts only curl. Trim trailing newlines by length, since ${INPUT%$'\n'}
takes seconds on a 200 KB payload in bash 3.2 with a UTF-8 locale. Bump
the hook marker to v21 so installed hooks are rewritten.

Walkthrough
The notification hook now reads and parses notification data with Bash builtins instead of external text-processing commands. Its marker advances to v21, and a process-start test checks dispatch and verifies that the replaced tools are not invoked.
No actionable merge-blocking issue was established in the notification-hook update; it is ready for normal merge checks.
