## Title

    [Auggie hooks] Exit code 2 does not block on non-PreToolUse events: 'Hook returned exit code 2 on non-blocking event ... Exit code 2 only blocks for PreToolUse.'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Auggie's hook runner treats exit code 2 as blocking only for PreToolUse; for other events it logs a warning and continues (JSON output on stdout is still parsed).
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Source is the published @augmentcode/auggie 0.36.0 npm bundle (single minified augment.mjs); Augment has no public source repo for the CLI, and behaviour may differ in other versions.
    - Not reproduced in this session.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://registry.npmjs.org/@augmentcode/auggie/-/auggie-0.36.0.tgz#package/augment.mjs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Hook result parser: exitCode 2 with event PreToolUse sets shouldContinue false; other events log the quoted warning and keep shouldContinue true.
    
    Search phrasings: auggie hook exit code 2 not blocking; Exit code 2 only blocks for PreToolUse; augment hooks stop hook not blocking
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
