What's Wrong?

When Claude Code executes stop hooks (and also startup hooks, prompt hooks, etc) on Windows, it's incorrectly converting Windows file paths to Unix-style paths, causing the hook to fail even though the file exists.

Expected Behavior:
Stop hook should execute successfully at the Windows path.

Actual Behavior:
Hook fails with error:
Stop hook error: Failed with non-blocking status code: /bin/bash:
/c/Users/.claude/plugins/cache/1.0/hooks/stop-hook.sh: No such file or directory

The file exists at the correct location: C:\Users\.claude\plugins\cache\1.0\hooks\stop-hook.sh

Root Cause:
The hook execution system is converting the Windows absolute path C:\Users\... to /c/Users/... before executing with bash, but the actual file path on disk is the Windows path. This conversion is incorrect or incomplete.

What Should Happen?

Should know to use correct WIndows path for hooks.
