 There's no class hierarchy, no decorators, no DI container — just a typed object literal passed to `definePlugin()`. That's intentional: plain objects survive bundling well, are easy to test, and don't require any framework metadata.
 
-The `ctx` object passed to `onBoot` is the gateway to everything: D1 (`ctx.db`), KV (`ctx.kv`), R2 (`ctx.r2`), the auth/content/media services, and a per-plugin logger. Plugins never reach into globals — every dependency is injected.
+The `ctx` object passed to `onBoot` exposes `ctx.hooks` (typed event facade), `ctx.cap` (capability-gated services), `ctx.env` (runtime bindings — `ctx.env.DB`, `ctx.env.KV`, etc.), and `ctx.raw` (escape hatch to the underlying context). There is no `ctx.logger` — use `console.info` / `console.warn` or bring your own logger.

 - **Recursion is detected.** The system tracks an `executing` set to prevent infinite loops if a hook handler triggers the same hook.
 - **Errors are isolated.** A handler that throws is logged but doesn't abort the chain — unless its message contains `"CRITICAL"`, which short-circuits everything.
 
-The standard hook names live in the exported `HOOKS` constant:
+SonicJS has two hook surfaces: a **typed catalog** (preferred) and a **legacy hook bus** (raw, string-keyed):
+
+**Typed catalog** — subscribe via `ctx.hooks.on(eventName, handler)`. TypeScript narrows the payload type per event:
 
-| Category | Hooks |
+| Event name | When it fires |
 |---|---|
-| **App lifecycle** | `app:init`, `app:ready`, `app:shutdown` |
-| **Request lifecycle** | `request:start`, `request:end`, `request:error` |
-| **Auth** | `auth:login`, `auth:logout`, `auth:register`, `user:login`, `user:logout` |
-| **Content** | `content:create`, `content:update`, `content:delete`, `content:publish`, `content:save` |
-| **Media** | `media:upload`, `media:delete`, `media:transform` |
-| **Plugin** | `plugin:install`, `plugin:uninstall`, `plugin:activate`, `plugin:deactivate` |
-| **Admin** | `admin:menu:render`, `admin:page:render` |
-| **Database** | `db:migrate`, `db:seed` |
+| `content:after:create` | After a document is created |
+| `content:after:update` | After a document is updated |
+| `content:after:delete` | After a document is deleted |
+| `content:after:publish` | After a document is published |
+| `content:read` | When a document is read |
+| `auth:registration:completed` | After user self-registration |
+| `auth:password-reset:requested` | When a password reset is requested |
+| `auth:password-reset:completed` | After a password reset is confirmed |
+| `auth:magic-link:consumed` | After a magic-link is consumed |
+| `auth:otp:verified` | After an OTP code is verified |
+
+Deprecated short aliases (`content:save`, `content:publish`, `content:create` etc.) still work through the typed surface but emit a console warning — prefer the canonical `content:after:*` names.
 
-That's 25 named events spread across eight categories. Plugins can also define custom hook names — there's no enforced enum at runtime — but sticking to the standard names ensures interoperability.
+**Legacy hook bus** — subscribe via `(ctx.raw as any)?.hooks.register(name, handler, priority)`. Used for hooks that predate the typed catalog: `auth:login`, `auth:logout`, `request:start`. These work but have no TypeScript narrowing.

+Plugins can also define **custom hook names** — there's no enforced enum at runtime — but using the standard names ensures interoperability with other plugins.
