- Updated contextHook to support colorized output for terminal and JSON format for hooks.

Fixed better-sqlite3 distribution by implementing self-bootstrapping hooks
that auto-install dependencies on first run. This eliminates the need for
users to have native compilation tools or manually install dependencies.
## Solution
Instead of bundling 25MB of better-sqlite3 binaries in git or requiring
manual npm install, hooks now bootstrap themselves on first execution:
1. Created `src/shared/bootstrap.ts` with `ensureDependencies()` function
2. Added bootstrap calls to all hook entry points (context, new, save, summary, cleanup)
3. Created `plugin/scripts/package.json` declaring better-sqlite3 dependency
4. Bootstrap checks if `node_modules` exists, runs `npm install` if missing
5. npm automatically downloads prebuilt better-sqlite3 binary for user's platform
## Changes
**Core Bootstrap System:**
- Added src/shared/bootstrap.ts: Auto-install dependencies using npm
- Modified all hooks (context, new, save, summary, cleanup) to call ensureDependencies()
- Created plugin/scripts/package.json with better-sqlite3 dependency
**Build & Distribution:**
- Removed node_modules copying logic from build script
- Build output is now compact (hooks + package.json, no binaries)
- Updated marketplace.json to point to GitHub for direct installation
**Documentation:**
- Updated README: GitHub Marketplace installation is now recommended method
- Installation instructions emphasize no compilation needed
- Version bumped to 4.0.5 throughout
## Benefits
- ✅ No git bloat (repo stays small, no 25MB binaries committed)
- ✅ No compilation needed (npm downloads prebuilt binaries)
- ✅ Works on all platforms (npm handles platform-specific binaries)
- ✅ Zero manual steps (hooks bootstrap themselves automatically)
- ✅ Idempotent (skips install if dependencies already exist)
Installation now works via simple:
```
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem
```
