Installing official hook with verification and no project changes
Choose between hook installation options
The situation
A user requested the installation of an official hook with verification before and after the installation, without making any changes to the project. The user's request was made after a previous process had succeeded. The goal is to set up the hook while ensuring that it does not harm the project and that the verification process is thorough. The installation process involves preserving existing settings and verifying that the hook works as expected.

What they decided
