Custom Hooks

Custom pipeline hooks for observability and control.

"""Custom pipeline hooks for observability and control.

The `PipelineHooks` protocol lets you plug into pipeline lifecycle events:

    on_stage_start  — A pipeline stage is starting (e.g., "context_retrieval")
    on_stage_end    — A pipeline stage completed (with timing metadata)
    on_confirm      — Run plan is ready; return True to proceed, False to cancel
    on_complete     — Final report is available

Built-in implementations:
    DefaultHooks  — Logs via loguru, auto-approves (for library usage)
    RichHooks     — Rich terminal output with interactive confirmation (for CLI)

This example shows a custom implementation that logs to a file and
auto-approves after validating the run plan.

Prerequisites:
    - OPENAI_API_KEY set in environment

Usage:
    OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... python 09_custom_hooks.py
