History What is the history of Theadding the Clock Hypothesis to Special Relativity?

As far as I understand, Einstein’s original formulation of Special Relativity did not include the Clock Hypothesis, though it was implicitly assumed.

The modern formulation of SR adds a formal statement of the Clock Hypothesis to Einstein’s original set of two postulates.

When was the need to formalize the Clock Hypothesis identified and when did a three postulate presentation of SR first appear in a standard text?
