Agentic Lint

Interpret and act on ironlint PreToolUse hook output. Not user-invocable.

When blocked (hook exited 2)

The tool-result stderr is a Verdict JSON whose status is block. A check is a shell command; it blocked because it exited nonzero (1–125). The adapter uses hook exit 2 to reject the tool call. Shape:

{
  "schema_version": 6,
  "status": "block",
  "blocks": [
    {"check": "no-debug", "step": null, "file": "src/foo.rs", "message": "src/foo.rs:42: DEBUG marker"}
  ],
  "errors": [],
  "passed": ["no-todo"]
}

Each entry in blocks is one check that rejected the edit:

check — the check id that blocked (defined in .ironlint.yml).
file — the file it checked.
message — the check's own combined output, verbatim. This is your instruction for what to fix; if the check emits line numbers (e.g. a grep -n or a linter), they're in here.

Fix every entry in blocks in the named file before any other tool call. The hook re-fires on the next Edit and re-checks. Repeat until blocks is empty.

passed

passed lists the check ids that ran and passed for this file. Their concerns are already satisfied — don't re-investigate them.

errors

errors lists checks that couldn't run (not found, timed out, or killed) — each is {check, file, reason}, not a policy violation. By default the hook fails open on these (the edit is allowed and nothing reaches you); you'll only see an error note when the project set IRONLINT_FAIL_CLOSED_ON_INTERNAL=1. A check that couldn't run is a broken check, not a finding — surface it, don't try to satisfy it.
