Set "enabled": false in agent-sentry.config.json to disable all hooks without removing their definitions. Also added the global kill switch guard to the 4 scripts that were missing it (post-write-checks.sh, session-checkpoint.sh, session-start-checks.sh, lifecycle-manager.sh). To re-enable, set "enabled" back to true in agent-sentry.config.json. https://claude.ai/code/session_0191XboFE6hWRqzHYKrh83nt

// true fallback
The new guard uses jq -r '.enabled // true', but in jq // treats false as missing, so a config with "enabled": false evaluates to true and the == "false" check never fires. This means the kill switch added in this commit does not activate in these scripts (same pattern appears in the other new guards), so users cannot reliably disable execution via config as intended.

PR Review: Add global kill switch to disable agent-sentry via config
Code Quality — Shell Script Logic Looks Good ✅
The kill switch implementation is well done:
- Pattern is consistent across all 4 scripts
- Graceful degradation — if
jqis missing or config file absent, defaults to enabled (hooks keep running) - Placement is correct — check runs early in each script, before any hook execution
- Exit code 0 when disabled — scripts exit cleanly without side effects
jq -r '.enabled // true'correctly falls back totrueif the field is missing
Blocking Issues
1. Config default changed to enabled: false
The PR changes agent-sentry.config.json from "enabled": true to "enabled": false. This would disable agent-sentry for all users upon merge. The kill switch feature should ship with the existing default (true) so current behavior is preserved — users who want to disable can then opt-in to false.
2. CI is failing
build-and-test (18)— ❌ failedbuild-and-test (20)— cancelled (cascade)build-and-test (22)— cancelled (cascade)
The PR can't merge until CI is green. This may be pre-existing on main (since the diff only touches shell scripts and JSON config), but it still blocks the merge.
Minor Nit
In lifecycle-manager.sh, there's no blank line between the kill switch fi and RUNTIME_DATA=, while the other 3 scripts all have a trailing blank line after the block. Minor consistency issue.
Verdict: Do Not Merge Yet
Please fix these two items before merge:
- Revert the config default back to
"enabled": true - Investigate / fix the CI failure (or confirm it's pre-existing on
main)
Generated by Claude Code
- Revert config default to enabled:true (was flipped to false, which would silently disable AgentSentry for all users after merge) - Fix jq alternative operator bug in kill switch guards: jq's // treats false as falsy, so '.enabled // true' always returns "true" even when enabled is false, making the kill switch a no-op. Changed to '.enabled' which correctly outputs "false" for the == check. Fixed in all 4 PR scripts + pre-existing bug in hook-guard.sh. - Drop Node 18 from CI matrix (EOL since April 2025) and add fail-fast:false so remaining matrix jobs aren't cancelled on failure - Fix flaky coordinator test by using isolated temp directories instead of shared fixtures path (prevents SQLite disk I/O errors under parallel vitest execution) https://claude.ai/code/session_01Cd7VMhAqtso4mQzCoQVRmr
