The context hook was not appearing in Claude Code sessions because it was
outputting plain text to stdout instead of using the required JSON structure
for SessionStart hooks.
Changes:
- src/hooks/context.ts: Changed contextHook to return string instead of void,
removing direct console.log calls to make it more reusable
- src/bin/hooks/context-hook.ts: Wrap contextHook output in hookSpecificOutput
JSON structure with hookEventName "SessionStart" and additionalContext field
- Both TTY and stdin code paths now properly format and exit with code 0
Fixes the issue where recent session context was not being injected at session
start. Tested with npm run test:context - hook now properly outputs JSON with
recent sessions formatted as markdown.
