The four hooks (post-checkout, post-commit, post-merge, pre-push)
were generic git-lfs boilerplate that called 'git lfs <action>' for
each event. Under the global core.hooksPath, they required git-lfs
on PATH at every git invocation — which broke under launchd's
stripped PATH (discovered 2026-04-16 while fixing gitvault).
A repo that actually uses LFS can install its local hooks via
'git lfs install' within the repo (.git/hooks/*). The global
hookspath shouldn't require LFS to be present.
