The deny-with-reason is undersold here. Most hook frameworks treat denials as the end of the road: the LLM hits a wall, retries blindly, and gets blocked again. Feeding the reason back into Claude's context could break that cycle much faster. One question for the author: when several hooks fire, does Claude get all the denial reasons concatenated, or does the first deny win?
