Revert "Merge branch 'ar/run-command-hook'"

2026-01-15T21:02:38Z

This reverts commit f406b8955295d01089ba2baf35eceadff2d11cae, reversing changes made to 1627809eeff75e6ec936fc609e7be46d5eb2fa9e. It seems to have caused a few regressions, two of the three known ones we have proposed solutions for. Let's give ourselves a bit more room to maneuver during the pre-release freeze period and restart once the 2.53 ships.

Merge branch 'kh/replay-invalid-onto-advance'

2026-01-15T15:12:41Z
