Cross-tool  .claude/settings.local.json  hooks with shell operators ( || ,  && ) break on Windows PowerShell

Describe the bug

When a repository contains a Claude Code hook config ( .claude/settings.local.json  or  .claude/settings.json ) with a  PreToolUse  hook defined via a single cross-platform  command  string containing POSIX shell operators (e.g.  ... || echo {} ), Copilot CLI fails to execute that hook correctly on Windows, which can block all subsequent tool calls gated by that hook.

Root cause hypothesis:
Claude Code executes these same hook commands via git-bash on Windows, so  || / &&  work there. Copilot CLI's cross-tool compatibility layer, per the hooks reference, reads  .claude/settings*.json  files but runs the single  command  string as the native Windows  powershell  fallback rather than replicating Claude Code's git-bash execution context. This makes any Claude hook authored with POSIX-only shell syntax silently non-functional (and blocking) on Windows.

Affected version

No response

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. On Windows, in a repo, create  .claude/settings.local.json  with:
   {
   "hooks": {
   "PreToolUse": [
   {
   "matcher": "Bash",
   "hooks": [
   { "type": "command", "command": ""C:\path\to\tool.exe" some-check || echo {}" }
   ]
   }
   ]
   }
   }
2. Launch  copilot  in a native Windows PowerShell (5.1) terminal in that repo.
3. Attempt any shell/Bash tool call.

Expected behavior

Expected behavior:
The hook executes successfully and either allows or blocks the tool call based on its actual logic, consistent with how the same config works under Claude Code.

Actual behavior:
The tool call is blocked.  /env  confirms the hook is loaded ("preToolUse: N hooks, source: repo settings"), but the underlying command fails silently, because  ||  is invalid syntax in Windows PowerShell 5.1 — the shell that Copilot CLI uses to run the hook (per the docs, the  command  field is used as a fallback for both  bash  and  powershell  execution).

Additional context

Windows 11 Enterprise, PowerShell terminal (Windows PowerShell 5.1, not  pwsh  7+)

Reproduzieren Sie das Problem mit .claude/settings.local.json oder .claude/settings.json, einem PreToolUse-Befehl unter Verwendung von || und Copilot CLI in Windows PowerShell 5.1. Prüfen Sie /env, um die Quelle des Hooks zu bestätigen, und beobachten Sie, ob der Befehl während eines Bash-Tool-Aufrufs fehlschlägt. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der Hook erfolgreich ausgeführt wird und den Tool-Aufruf entsprechend seinem Ergebnis zulässt oder blockiert.
