Auxiliary LLM calls (titling, compression, MoA advisors/aggregator, vision,
approval, ...) never reached any plugin hook: hook-based observability and
cost plugins were structurally blind to them. Teknium's ruling on #79733:
NEW events rather than reusing the turn-scoped pre/post_api_request pair,
so existing subscribers keep their per-turn semantics.
- agent/auxiliary_hooks.py (new sibling): builds the pre_api_request /
post_api_request payload shape plus `aux_task`, `api_request_id`
(`aux-...`, shared by every attempt of one logical call), `retry_count`,
`streaming`, parent-turn `session_id`/`task_id`/`turn_id` when a main
turn is in flight; fail-open (a raising/hung subscriber is logged and
the aux task proceeds); post carries `error`/`error_type` on failure.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: the three relay funnels every physical
attempt shares (_relay_sync_completion / _relay_async_completion /
_relay_sync_stream) run under the hook pair — retries and fallbacks
included. Main-loop *_api_request events do not fire for aux calls.
- Catalogue: VALID_HOOKS, bounded-timeout hook set, `hermes hooks test`
sample payloads, hooks.md / plugins index / observer-hooks / plugins.md
tables, agent + plugins AGENTS.md.
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_hooks.py: 2 invariants (pair fires with
aux_task and no api_request events; raising subscriber never breaks
the call). First is red on origin/main.
Supersedes #32416 (@zrmnelson), #68060 (@JonZal), #77518 (@hsy5571615),
#79826 (@webtecnica) — their relay-boundary placement, usage
normalisation and fail-open policy shaped this implementation.
