## Definition

When dbt State skips a node because it's still fresh, that node's pre- and post-hooks are not executed by default. This matches dbt's standard behavior: if the node wasn't executed, its hooks don't run.

Set `execute_hooks_on_any_reuse: true` if you have audit hooks or other hooks that must run on every job invocation, regardless of whether the node was rebuilt or reused.

| Value             | Behavior                                                    |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `false` (default) | Hooks are skipped when a node is reused without rebuilding. |
| `true`            | Hooks run even when a node is reused.                       |

Hooks always execute when dbt State *clones* a node from another environment, because the clone step creates a new object in the warehouse.

## Example

### Always run audit hooks

Use `execute_hooks_on_any_reuse: true` for nodes with audit or lineage hooks that must run on every job invocation:

models/fct\_orders.yml

```yaml
models:
  - name: fct_orders
    config:
      state:
        execute_hooks_on_any_reuse: true
      post-hook:
        - "INSERT INTO audit_log VALUES ('{{ model.name }}', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP())"
```
