What's Wrong?

https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/hooks#simple%3A-exit-code
mentions

Exit code 0: Success. stdout is shown to the user in transcript mode (CTRL-R), except for UserPromptSubmit and SessionStart, where stdout is added to the context.

However, that's not what I'm seeing, I see the additional context at startup (context is https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/10).

Is this a bug or does the documentation need to be updated?

What Should Happen?

Additional context is not shown to user or docs should be updated.
