Claude Code now supports hooks

This closes a big feature gap. One thing that may not be obvious is that because of the way Claude Code generates commits, regular Git hooks won’t work. (At least, in most configurations.)

We’ve been using CLAUDE.md instructions to tell Claude to auto-format code with the Qlty CLI (https://github.com/qltysh/qlty) but Claude a bit hit and miss in following them. The determinism here is a win.

It looks like the events that can be hooked are somewhat limited to start, and I wonder if they will make it easy to hook Git commit and Git push.

FYI.

Claude loves Java.

I never have to reformat. It picks up my indentation preferences immediately and obeys my style guide flawlessly. When I ask it to perfect my JavaDoc it is awesome.

Must be a ton of fabulous enterprise Java in the training set.
