## 1. Version Detection & Compatibility Checks

### Test Results: ✅ PASS

**Tested Components**:
- Claude Code version detection via `claude --version`
- Version parsing and comparison logic
- Compatibility matrix validation
- Warning message generation

**Key Findings**:

```
Current Claude Code version: 2.0.27
Minimum required: 1.0.92
Recommended: 2.0.30+
Status: COMPATIBLE (with upgrade recommendation)
```

**Version Detection Works Correctly**:
- ✅ Detects installed Claude Code version
- ✅ Compares against minimum requirements
- ✅ Provides upgrade recommendations
- ✅ Displays clear compatibility status

**Compatibility Check Output**:
```json
{
  "installed": true,
  "version": "2.0.27",
  "meets_minimum": true,
  "is_recommended": false,
  "status": "compatible",
  "message": "Claude Code v2.0.27 is compatible\n   Recommended: Upgrade to v2.0.30+ for best experience"
}
```

## 2. Update Checking Feature

### Test Results: ✅ PASS

**Tested Components**:
- PyPI version comparison
- Version cache management
- Configuration options
- Async update checking
- Cache TTL behavior

**Key Findings**:

**Update Check Configuration**:
```yaml
updates:
  check_enabled: true
  check_frequency: daily
  check_claude_code: true
  auto_upgrade: false
  cache_ttl: 86400
```

**Cache Behavior**:
- ✅ First check queries PyPI (fresh data)
- ✅ Subsequent checks use cache (< 24 hours)
- ✅ Cache file created at `~/.cache/claude-mpm/version-checks/claude-mpm.json`
- ✅ Cache expires after configured TTL

**Version Comparison Test**:
```
Current: 4.21.3
Latest (PyPI): 4.21.3
Update available: false
Cached: No (fresh check)
```

**Configuration Options Tested**:
- ✅ `check_enabled` - Disable update checking
- ✅ `check_frequency` - Set to daily/weekly/never
- ✅ `check_claude_code` - Include Claude Code version check
- ✅ `auto_upgrade` - Auto-upgrade when available
- ✅ `cache_ttl` - Custom cache duration

  "tool_name": "Edit",
  "tool_input": {...}
}

# Result
Exit code: 0
Action: continue
✅ Hook executes successfully
```

**2. Version Detection**:
```python
installer = HookInstaller()
installer.MIN_PRETOOL_MODIFY_VERSION  # "2.0.30"

# Current version check
supports_modify = current >= "2.0.30"  # False for 2.0.27
