Problem

ECC provides powerful hooks, agents, and automation capabilities. However, users often want to verify what actions would be executed before running them, especially when working with file modifications, shell commands, or project-wide changes.

Proposed Solution

Add a global dry-run mode that simulates execution without making actual changes.

Example:

ecc --dry-run

or

ecc run --dry-run

The mode could:

• Display commands that would be executed
• Show files that would be modified
• Preview hook actions
• Indicate agent execution order
• Report potential changes without applying them

Benefits

• Safer experimentation for new users
• Easier debugging of agent workflows
• Better visibility into automation behavior
• Reduced risk of unintended file modifications

Expected Outcome

Users can inspect planned actions before execution and gain confidence when using complex ECC workflows.
