Research direction

Start by reading macrodata-hook.sh and detect-user.sh, focusing on their shebangs and bash-specific syntax. Reproduce the SessionStart failure on Windows 11 with the reported Claude Code and plugin versions, then verify that the hooks start without the reported error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The macrodata plugin fails to start on Windows with the error: SessionStart:startup hook error

Environment:
OS: Windows 11
Claude Code: v2.1.31
macrodata plugin: v0.1.1

The plugin's hooks use bash shell scripts (macrodata-hook.sh, detect-user.sh) which don't execute natively on Windows. The scripts use #!/bin/bash and bash-specific syntax.
