Problem Statement

When using a Stop hook to play a notification sound, the sound doesn't play when Claude is waiting for tool permission approval
(pressing 1/2/3/4). This is because Stop only fires after the full response completes, not when mid-turn tool approvals are needed.

Proposed Solution

Request: Add a new hook event (e.g., ToolPermissionPrompt) that fires when Claude is waiting for the user to approve/deny a tool call.
This would allow notification sounds to play consistently whenever user input is needed.
