Problem Statement
PermissionRequest hook doesn't allow specifying updatedInput without permissionDecision in the output. It can't serve the needs where the user only wants to modify the input (like sanitization or normalization) without touching how Claude Code handles the permission. The current design forces the hook to decide up-front.
Proposed Solution
Allow updatedInput without permissionDecision
Alternative Solutions
None.
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
