| Document Type | Link / Location | Key Findings / Action Required |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **ADR-002** | docs/adr/proposals/ADR-002-structured-hook-logging.md | Same format contract as peon.sh — key=value lines, invocation IDs, daily rotation. |
| **Design Doc** | docs/designs/structured-hook-logging.md | Lines 343-382: PowerShell implementation spec. $peonLog scriptblock, Add-Content, try/catch disabling. |
| **PRD-002** | Branch docs/prd-002-hook-observability | Dual-implementation reality table (Technical Considerations). Windows-specific: Add-Content lock, PEON_DEBUG non-propagation to win-play.ps1, deployment requires re-install. |
| **install.ps1** | install.ps1:323-1975 | Embedded $hookScript. PEON_DEBUG check at line 346. 8 existing Write-Warning calls for audio failures. Safety timeout at line 337. |
| **step 2 card** | 77eri8 | Unix implementation — defines the log format and test fixtures this card validates against. |

## Design & Planning

### Initial Design Thoughts & Requirements

* `$peonLog` scriptblock with parameters `[string]$Phase, [hashtable]$Fields` — mirrors the Python `log()` closure.
* When `debug=false`: `$peonLog = { }` (empty scriptblock, zero overhead).
* When `debug=true`: opens log file via `Add-Content -Path $logPath -Encoding UTF8`.
* Invocation ID: `[System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString('N').Substring(0,4)` — same 4-char hex as Python.
* `PEON_DEBUG=1` override: extend existing `$peonDebug` variable to also enable file logging (currently only enables Write-Warning to stderr). Both outputs are additive — stderr warnings AND file logging.
* Daily rotation: `Get-ChildItem -Filter 'peon-ping-*.log'` + `Remove-Item` for files older than retention.
* try/catch around all Add-Content calls — IOException disables logging for remainder of invocation.
* **Shared test fixture**: Create a known JSON input that both BATS and Pester validate produces identical log output (minus timestamps and invocation IDs). This is the format parity enforcement mechanism.
* **Deployment note**: Changes to peon.ps1 require users to re-run `install.ps1` or `peon update`. The install script regenerates peon.ps1 from the embedded here-string.

### Acceptance Criteria

* [x] `debug: false` (default) — no log file created, empty scriptblock, zero overhead
* [x] `debug: true` — log file at `$PEON_DIR\logs\peon-ping-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
* [x] Same 9 phases (8 decision + exit) logged as peon.sh: [hook], [config], [state], [route], [sound], [play], [notify], [trainer], [exit]
* [x] Log format byte-identical to peon.sh output for same events (modulo timestamps, invocation IDs, and platform-specific paths)
* [x] `[exit]` line includes `duration_ms` with actual elapsed time
* [x] `PEON_DEBUG=1` enables both existing stderr warnings AND new file logging (additive)
* [x] Daily rotation prunes files older than `debug_retention_days`
* [x] Add-Content IOException disables logging for rest of invocation (never breaks hook)
* [x] Existing Pester tests pass unchanged
* [x] New Pester tests: debug on produces log file with expected phases; debug off produces no files; rotation works; PEON_DEBUG override enables both outputs
* [x] Shared test fixtures from `tests/fixtures/hook-logging/` (created in step 2): known JSON event → expected log output matches both BATS and Pester expectations

### Implementation Notes

**Required Reading:**

| File | Lines | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `install.ps1` | search: `$hookScript = @'` | Embedded $hookScript — add $peonLog and phase emitters (line numbers may shift after step 2) |
| `install.ps1` | search: `$peonDebug = $env:PEON_DEBUG` | Existing PEON_DEBUG check — extend to also enable file logging |
| `install.ps1` | search: `Write-Warning "peon-ping:` | Existing Write-Warning debug calls (~8 occurrences) — keep and make additive with file logging |
| `install.ps1` | search: `Start-Sleep -Seconds 8` or timeout block | 8-second safety timeout — log must complete within this |
| `scripts/win-play.ps1` | search: `PEON_DEBUG` | PEON_DEBUG in audio backend — note: does NOT propagate to detached Start-Process |
| `docs/designs/structured-hook-logging.md` | 343-382 | PowerShell implementation spec |
| `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1` | full | Existing Pester test structure |

**Key Constraint:** peon.ps1 is deployed as a standalone file but authored as a here-string inside install.ps1. All edits happen in install.ps1's `$hookScript` variable. The `PEON_DEBUG=1` env var does NOT propagate to `win-play.ps1` child processes (detached via `Start-Process`), so the `[play]` phase can only log "launched win-play.ps1" — not downstream audio failures. This is a documented asymmetry with Unix.

**Dependencies:** step 2 (77eri8) must complete first — it establishes the log format and shared test fixtures.

## Executor Work Log (Cycle 1)

Implemented structured debug logging infrastructure in peon.ps1 (commit 3f8fc20):

**1. Logging infrastructure ($peonLog scriptblock):**
- `$peonLog` scriptblock with `[string]$Phase, [hashtable]$Fields` parameters
- Empty scriptblock `{ }` when `debug=false` (zero overhead path)
- `$script:peonLogEnabled` flag gated on `config.debug` or `$peonDebug` (PEON_DEBUG=1)
- `$script:peonLogPath` for daily log file at `$PEON_DIR\logs\peon-ping-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
- IOException catch sets `$script:peonLogEnabled = $false` (disables for remainder)

**2. Invocation ID:**
- `'{0:x4}' -f ([System.Random]::new().Next(0, 65535))` -- 4-char hex, same as Python

**3. Phase emitters (all 9 phases):**
- `[config]` -- loaded path, volume, pack, enabled (or error + fallback on bad config)
- `[hook]` -- event, session, cwd (with value quoting for spaces), paused
- `[state]` -- sessions count, rotation_index, last_stop
- `[route]` -- category, suppressed flag, reason (delegate_mode, agent_session, debounce_5s, category_disabled, or suppressed=False for normal flow)
- `[sound]` -- file, pack, candidates count, no_repeat (or error on missing pack/manifest/file)
- `[play]` -- backend, file, volume (or error when win-play.ps1 missing)
- `[trainer]` -- active, reminder
- `[notify]` -- desktop, mobile
- `[exit]` -- duration_ms (from Stopwatch), exit code

**4. Daily rotation:**
- On first file of new day, prunes `peon-ping-*.log` files older than `debug_retention_days`

**5. PEON_DEBUG=1 override:**
- Extends existing `$peonDebug` variable to also enable file logging (additive with stderr Write-Warning)

**6. Delegate mode / agent_session detection (new, parity with peon.sh):**
- Added route suppression for delegate permission_mode and remembered agent sessions
- These decision points were missing from peon.ps1 entirely

**7. Config error handling:**
- `$_configError` capture before logging init, logged after as `[config] error=... fallback=defaults`
- Falls back to minimal defaults so logging can still initialize

**8. Pester tests (29 tests, all pass):**
- `tests/hook-logging-windows.Tests.ps1`:
  - debug=false: no log directory created (2 tests)
  - debug=true: log file creation, all 9 phases present, ISO-8601 format, duration_ms, event/session/config/sound field content, invocation ID consistency (8 tests)
  - PEON_DEBUG=1: creates log file when config debug=false (1 test)
  - Daily rotation: prunes old files, keeps recent (1 test)
  - Route suppression: debounce_5s, delegate_mode, category_disabled (3 tests)
  - Missing pack: sound error logged (1 test)
  - Shared fixtures: stop-normal, cwd-with-spaces, paused, missing-pack (4 tests)
  - Static analysis: peonInv, peonLogEnabled, peonLog scriptblock, empty scriptblock, 9 phases, Add-Content, IOException catch, rotation logic, Stopwatch (9 tests)

**9. Existing test fixes:**
- `tests/adapters-windows.Tests.ps1`: 2 regex patterns updated from `.*` to `[\s\S]*` for multiline matching after logging code insertions changed exit-path structure
- All 360 existing tests pass

**Bug fix during testing:**
- `Get-PeonLogPhaseLines` and `Get-PeonLogLines` helper functions returned single strings instead of arrays when only one match existed (PowerShell unwraps single-element arrays from function returns). Fixed with `Write-Output -NoEnumerate` to preserve array type.

  - Executor instructions: `.gitban/agents/executor/inbox/HOOKLOG-w56sog-executor-1.md`
  - No planner instructions needed (all follow-up items are either close-out items or informational)
- **Close-out items routed to executor:**
  - L1: Fix misleading comment on config error fallback in install.ps1
  - L2: Document paused fixture asymmetry in design doc
- **Informational (no action):**
  - L3: Hashtable enumeration order non-deterministic (acceptable, field order in "modulo" category)
  - L4: Agent detection is behavioral change beyond logging (note for changelog at version bump)
