Daily Report — 2026-09-04

The ccscan workflow failed at the initial step because the companion guard hook (node .companion/companion.mjs guard --platform=cursor) returned no output, triggering a failClosed block on all shell execution, file modification, and deletion commands. Additionally, there is a technical debt in the hook wiring: beforeReadFile is missing from .cursor/hooks.json, meaning file reads won’t be logged to the scan progress, preventing the scan from ever completing properly according to the ccscan specification (D22).

Tasks

Architecture & Strategy

• • Handle legacy graphs — Manually move ideas/graph.claude.yaml and ideas/graph.cursor.yaml to a backup directory to allow migrate --dry-run to run cleanly without seeing old formats.
• • Fix guard hook output — Investigate why the guard command returns no output and causes a total block on execution.
• • Connect beforeReadFile hook — Update .cursor/hooks.json to include the beforeReadFile event so that file reads are correctly recorded in the scan progress.

Implementation & Fixes

• • Resume ccscan — Once files are moved and the guard is fixed, run node .companion/companion.mjs migrate --dry-run and then ccscan --refresh.

Problems & Solutions

Critical Issues

1. Guard hook returns no output, causing total block due to failClosed: true

Solution: Investigate engine/guard logs and ensure the guard command provides a valid (even if empty) exit status/output to avoid the block.

2. Scan progress does not update because beforeReadFile is missing in Cursor hooks

Solution: Add beforeReadFile to .cursor/hooks.json to ensure file reads are accounted for in the scan ledger.

General Issues

3. migrate tool flags old graphs even though they are intended to be preserved/ignored

Solution: Manually rename or move graph.claude.yaml and graph.cursor.yaml out of the ideas/ directory.
