Bug Description
The Ralph Loop plugin's stop-hook.sh fails on Windows with Git Bash because the cat command is not found in PATH when the hook executes.
Error Message
Stop hook error: Failed with non-blocking status code:
hooks/stop-hook.sh: line 10: cat: command not foundRoot Cause
Line 10 uses HOOK_INPUT=$(cat) but PATH doesn't include /usr/bin on Windows.
Suggested Fix
Use full path: HOOK_INPUT=$("/usr/bin/cat")
