v1.41.1: Cleaner hook failure output

on GitHub

A patch release focused on fixing hook failure output. Previously, failing steps could produce duplicated or missing diagnostic output depending on the combination of output_summary, check_first, and fail_fast settings. These fixes ensure that failure output is shown exactly once, includes both stdout and stderr so no diagnostics are lost, and preserves the configured summary label.

Fixed

• No more duplicate output on failure: The end-of-run error handler was reprinting the first failing step's output after the per-step summary had already displayed it. This caused confusing duplication and misattribution -- for example, one tool's errors could appear to be part of another tool's section. The redundant handle_script_failed output has been removed. (@nkakouros) #784

• Combined output shown for failed steps: When a step fails, hk now shows combined stdout+stderr output regardless of the output_summary setting (unless set to "hide"). Previously, if output_summary was set to "stderr" but the tool wrote diagnostics to stdout (as eslint, flake8, prettier, and many others do), those diagnostics were invisible in the failure summary. (@nkakouros) #772

• Configured output summary label preserved on failure: The combined-output-on-failure fix from #772 was changing the summary header from the configured label (e.g., lint stderr:) to lint combined:. The label now matches the configured output_summary value while still using combined content underneath. (@jdx) #808

• check_first diagnostics preserved when cancelled by fail_fast: For steps using check_diff or check_list_files with check_first, diagnostic output from the check phase was lost if another step failed first and triggered fail_fast cancellation before the fix phase could run. The check output is now saved so it appears in the summary. (@nkakouros) #784
