I configured a Stop hook with type: "agent" in settings.json to run a session-end review workflow. The config is accepted without error, but the agent doesn't seem to execute when the session ends (v2.1.85).
{
"type": "agent",
"prompt": "Review this session and store important findings.",
"timeout": 120
}Is type: "agent" supported for Stop hooks? The docs mention it but I can't get it to fire. Command-type Stop hooks work fine.

Use command-type instead of agent-type for Stop hooks — agent-type isn't supported for Stop events:
Closing as duplicate of #39184 — agent-type hooks error on all event types. Upvoted that issue instead.
