Problem
Determining if a session needs user attention requires parsing the message field with regex. notification_type alone isn't reliable.
Proposal
Add structured fields:
{
"hook_event_type": "Notification",
"attention_reason": "permission_request",
"requires_user_attention": true
}Enum values: permission_request, needs_input, error, completed, info
Why
This would make external tools more reliable. Example:

Here's what CC Status Bar looks like in action:

The color indicators (green/yellow) would be more reliable with attention_reason enum.
