Windows runs managed hooks through a shell, and #6078 wrapped the launcher in `powershell -EncodedCommand` to survive spaces in profile paths. Combined with the inner PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest post, every hook spawned two PowerShell processes (~300ms startup each), so a hook took ~650ms+ and fired up to 6x per turn. Codex 0.140 renders that as lingering "Running <event> hook" rows. The earlier RC worked around it by deleting SessionStart/UserPromptSubmit/Stop, which loses lifecycle status fidelity. Keep all six Codex events and make them fast instead: - Codex runs hooks as `cmd.exe /C <command>` and forwards our string verbatim when it has no spaces/quotes, so emit the bare .cmd path for cmd-safe profiles (zero shell startup) and fall back to the encoded PowerShell launcher only for spaced/metachar paths (#6078 robustness). - Replace the inner PowerShell post with curl.exe (Windows 10 1803+), posting the same form fields as the POSIX hook and reading the raw payload from stdin via `--data-urlencode payload@-` so UTF-8 (e.g. CJK) survives without code-page translation. Result: the common Codex case is 0 PowerShell (~70-150ms vs ~650ms); spaced-path profiles drop to 1. Claude runs hooks through Git Bash, so its launcher must stay PowerShell-encoded (a bare path is what breaks it), but its inner post moves to curl.exe too, cutting Claude from two PowerShell startups to one. Validated against the real Codex 0.140 binary (interactive TUI + exec): all managed hooks fire, render briefly, and clear with no lingering rows; the listener receives every post in 1-6ms.
