Pain point

Bugs in internal event normalization can cause silently missing and invisible data in the database without alerts.

Who'd pay for this

Software development teams and companies handling large volumes of critical internal event data.

Source signal

"If a code bug bypassed the normalization step, rows with `hook = 'post_tool_use_rework_candidate'` would be written to the DB and silently invisible to all downstream queries — no error, no log, just missing data."

Original post

bug: guard against post_tool_use_rework_candidate leaking to observations.hook

Published: Apr 14, 2026

`post_tool_use_rework_candidate` is an internal event type that `extract_observation_fields()` normalizes to "PostToolUse" before writing to `observations.hook`. However, the raw string appears in test code, and there is no guard at the ingest boundary to prevent it from reaching the DB unhidden. If a code bug bypassed the normalization step, rows with `hook = 'post_tool_use_rework_candidate'` would be written to the DB and silently invisible to all downstream queries — no error, no log, just missing data.
