Bug: orchestrator-hooks-reference-absent-python-validators

[drmoisan]

• Work Mode: full-bug

Summary

.claude/hooks/validate-orchestrator-output.ps1 delegates its routing-contract
validation to a Python module that does not exist in this repository. The hook's
default invoker runs:

python -m scripts.dev_tools.validate_orchestration_artifacts \
    <ArtifactType> <CheckpointPath> --require-complete --require-model-routing

There is no scripts/dev_tools/ directory in TaskMaster. scripts/ contains only
dev-tools/, vscode/, and temp-extract-coverage.ps1. A repository-wide search for
validate_orchestrator_state* returns no results.

Environment

Steps to Reproduce

(not provided in potential file)

Expected Behavior

One of:

1. The Python validator modules are vendored into TaskMaster so the hook's default
   invoker resolves; or
2. The hook's default invoker is repointed at the MCP-backed validator that this
   repository actually ships; or
3. The hook fails open with a clear diagnostic when the validator is unavailable,
   rather than reporting a routing-contract failure it did not evaluate.

In every case the rule files should cite the enforcement mechanism that exists in this
repository rather than paths inherited from the reference repository.
