Research direction

Start with the HookshotPassthrough and HookshotGithub sections of the linked shortcuts API documentation, then locate their shortcut implementations and trace the gateway → webhookLambda → myLambda flow. Done means failed events from either handoff are retained in a dead letter queue instead of being dropped, with the configuration exposed for both shortcuts.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The hookshot shortcuts Passthrough and Github create:

  • An API Gateway to receive events
  • A webhook lambda to passthrough events

And expect you to provide a second lambda, that the webhook lambda passes events to.

The flow of events is then:

gateway -> webhookLambda -> myLambda

If webhookLambda fails to pass through an event, or if myLambda fails to handle an event, the event is dropped. It would be nice to provide a dead letter queue to store dropped events.
