+# Task B3: Hook the validator into pre-commit — Report
+
+## Step 1: Added the hook
+
+Added the following block to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` (lines 46-51), appended to the existing `repo: local` section:
+
+```yaml
+      - id: validate-patches
+        name: validate patch registry
+        entry: Rscript local/validate-patches.R
+        language: system
+        files: ^local/patches/
+        pass_filenames: false
+```
+
+The hook was integrated alongside the existing `yaml-file-extension` hook, maintaining consistent indentation and YAML structure.
+
+## Step 2: Verified the hook runs
+
+Ran: `pre-commit run validate-patches --all-files`
+
+Output:
+```
