A hook call used to record only how it was taken; its run's answer went
to the chat alone and was lost to the call once the job was pruned. Now
`bot_hook_events` keeps `response`, `response_message_id` and
`responded_at`, written on every call a run took in when that run ends
(completed, failed, lost, stopped or cancelled) by
`recordHookCallResponse` in the job helpers, and calls turn done or
failed. The Calls view searches what calls sent and what runs answered,
filters by status and pages; Show all loads one call whole. Bots get
`search_hook_calls` and `read_hook_call` for their own hooks (never in a
hook call's own run), with payloads always marked as outside data.
Calls are kept for the app setting `hook_events_keep_days` (Settings >
General, default now 30 days). The caller still only gets 202 Queued.

A hook's calls used to run in whatever session was active at the time.
Now `bot_hooks.session_id` pins them to one session, open or closed
(null still follows the active one). The hook form picks where it runs
(the bot's own chat or one of its workspaces) and a session there, or a
new one of its own started beside the active one so the chat on screen
stays. A bot's proposed hook gets the session it was proposed in, and a
missing session is replaced on the next call. Changing place or session
is refused while a run is open; the computer stays only if reachable.

Each computer's Chrome profile now lives on the data volume
(DATA_DIR/computer-browsers/<id>, mounted at ~/.cobble-browser) and
Chrome is pointed at it with --user-data-dir. The sandbox image resets
its own profile's preferences to session-only cookies on every boot,
which signed every site out whenever Chrome exited. New profiles are
seeded with the image's preferences minus that rule, stale Singleton
links are removed before each provision, and existing computers are
recreated once (skipped while a job runs on them).

Bots get list_hooks, pause_hook and delete_hook, which act directly since
they only take away. A new hook, or a new name, brief or filter, or
switching a paused one back on, goes through propose_hook: it stores a
hook_proposals row and puts a [hook-proposal:ID] card in the reply, which
the user it was proposed to confirms or rejects. The card is read from
what Confirm saves, with the bot's reason labelled as its own; confirming
checks everything again and saves through the Hooks modal's helpers. A
new hook's URL is shown on the card once, to the user only, never in the
outcome the bot is told. What calls a hook, its computers and its signing
are never proposed. Only chat replies propose, and a hook call's own run
gets no hook tools, so a caller's payload can't reach them.

A bot hook (bot_hooks) is a secret URL, POST /api/hooks/<token>, whose
calls queue the hook's brief plus the raw body as a task, per user and
bot like a routine. Only the token's hash is kept (shown once, rotatable);
an optional HMAC-SHA256 signing secret is stored encrypted. Calls are
rate limited per address and per hook, recorded in bot_hook_events
(pruned daily), deduplicated by delivery id, and a call while the last
run still waits joins its brief instead of queueing another. The payload
is fenced data and HookRunNote tells the bot never to take instructions
from it; failed runs retry like routines.
A hook can instead watch a computer's browser notifications: the app
installs a small watcher that owns org.freedesktop.Notifications on the
sandbox's session bus, so Chrome hands it every notification (it only
looks for that service at start-up, so Chrome is restarted once, never
mid-task), and it posts each one to its hooks, optionally filtered.
Computers reach the app at COMPUTER_APP_URL or the app container's name.
Users make hooks in the conversation's Hooks modal and manage them all
on /admin/routines; bots never create or change hooks.
