Passing the print flag runs a single prompt and exits, which is the mode to use from a script, a git hook or continuous integration. By default it prints the final text. Setting the output format to json returns one structured object including the result and cost metadata, and stream-json emits newline-delimited events as they happen, which is what you want for a long run you need to observe.
Stdin is accepted, so piping a diff or a log into the command works without writing a temporary file.
Two things to plan for. Tool permissions still apply, so a non-interactive run that hits a tool needing approval will stall or fail rather than prompt; grant exactly the tools the job needs through the allowed-tools flag or a settings file instead of disabling permission checks wholesale. And the process exit code reflects whether the run completed, not whether the model agreed with you, so assert on the output content if the job is a gate.
