-## What's Changed
-
-**Refactor: Simplified hook execution by removing bun-wrapper indirection**
-
-Hooks are compiled to standard JavaScript and work perfectly with Node. The bun-wrapper was solving a problem that doesn't exist - hooks don't use Bun-specific APIs, they're just HTTP clients to the worker service.
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Removes ~100 lines of code
-- Simpler cross-platform support (especially Windows)
-- No PATH resolution needed for hooks
-- Worker still uses Bun where performance matters
-- Follows YAGNI and Simple First principles
-
-**Fixes:**
-- Fish shell compatibility issue (#264)
