Remove #[cfg(unix)] gates that blocked hook installation on Windows. The only Unix-specific operation is chmod +x, which is unnecessary on Windows where bash scripts execute without the execute bit. Changes: - Make ensure_hook_installed cross-platform (wrap only chmod in cfg(unix)) - Prefix hook command with `bash` on Windows in patch_settings_json - Delete #[cfg(not(unix))] fallback stubs for run_default_mode and run_hook_only_mode - Add cross-platform tests for hook installation and bash-wrapped command detection Fixes rtk-ai#913

Just give me some way to disable this when I don't want a hook. |

Summary
rtk init -gon Windows falls back to--claude-mdmode with a warning ("Hook-based mode requires Unix"), andrtk rewriteemits a persistent "Hook outdated" warning — even when a working bash hook exists. This is because the entireensure_hook_installed,run_default_mode, andrun_hook_only_modefunctions are gated behind#[cfg(unix)], but the only Unix-specific operation ischmod +x.This PR removes the platform gates and makes hook installation cross-platform:
ensure_hook_installed: Remove#[cfg(unix)]from the function; wrap only thechmodcall in#[cfg(unix)]run_default_mode/run_hook_only_mode: Delete the#[cfg(not(unix))]fallback stubs; remove#[cfg(unix)]from the real implementationspatch_settings_json: On Windows, prefix the hook command withbashso the.shscript executes via Git Bash/MSYS2 (e.g.bash "C:\Users\...\.claude\hooks\rtk-rewrite.sh")Testing
cargo fmt --all --check && cargo clippy --all-targets && cargo test— all 1355 tests pass, 0 failurestest_ensure_hook_installed_cross_platform— verifies hook creation, content, and idempotency on all platformstest_hook_already_present_bash_wrapped— verifiesbash "..."wrapped commands are detected byhook_already_presentrtk init -g, confirmed hook installed andrtk rewriteno longer warnsContext
There are several open PRs for Windows hook support (#150, #452, #551, #726, #727, #809, #905, #954). This PR takes the minimal approach — 1 file, +56/-36 lines — rather than introducing alternative hook implementations (Python, Node.js, native). The bash hook works on Windows via Git Bash, which is near-universal on Windows dev machines with git installed.
Fixes #913
