hook-dsh-normalize-quotes

Family position (the @-sentence Hook @ DSH @ Normalize @ Quotes): a hook child of the plugin-dsh-factory service and the hook-dsh-core machinery; the second of the six stream normalizer siblings:

A non-manifest factory consumer: it injects ["pluginFactory"] and uses only State (cell unwrap + shared Ledger/Enabled mappings + its own fields) and Append; the config is composed by the factory's standalone Schema helper with shared: false - the minimal block, no fs/observed dead fields. It touches no files, so fs/write-intent and fs/observed never see it; it wraps the downstream result and always calls next(), so it composes with other llm/stream listeners regardless of registration order.

Smart-quote processors and code editors emit typographic quotes; every parser, shell and diff understands the straight ASCII ones. Left in model output, a curly quote is a silent correctness hazard - in code blocks, commands and file paths it is simply the wrong character. This flavor makes the straight form the one that reaches the transcript.

The transform - exactly the core's Quotes map (@playform/hook-dsh-core's Normalize/Quotes), applied per text segment through the core's ReplaceMap - eight entries, each typographic quote code point to its ASCII straight counterpart:

No context rules - one character in, its straight counterpart out. Chunk-boundary-safe: single-character substitution, no lookahead - per-chunk application can never disagree with whole-text application. The mapping values are returned through a function replacer, so they are inserted literally (no $-pattern interpretation). Replaced characters are counted per stream for the ledger line.

There is no replacement field (MAP flavor). Volatile cells commit without remounting the plugin; the factory's State builder unwraps them defensively. Example cordis.patch.yml row:

One stream, one transformation. The model emits smart-quoted prose; the live UI and the transcript receive the straight ASCII forms:

Before → after - the model stream, then what reaches the transcript

Every typographic quote in the incoming text - the four single forms and the four double forms - becomes its ASCII counterpart; straight quotes that were already there are untouched (the count only counts replacements). In code blocks, commands and file paths this is the difference between a command that runs and one that fails for no visible reason. When a stream finishes normally with replacements made, the ledger gets the count line shown below. The same pass runs over reasoning deltas when normalizeReasoning is on, and over tool-call arguments when the example patch enables normalizeToolArguments - with the edit name exempt and the raw-marker calls passing through unnormalized.

Two lines, both written through the factory's Append (the hook-dsh-normalize-quotes: prefix is the logger's <State.Module>:; the durable file line is [<ISO>] <message>):

The activation line is written by apply(); the count line only follows a normal stream completion and only when N > 0 (a thrown-away stream writes no ledger line).
