What's Wrong?

I have project-level WorktreeCreate and WorktreeRemove hooks. This usually works great. However, if I open the /hooks menu from a worktree-using session, and then exit the session, it causes the WorktreeRemove hook to not be fired. I suspect this applies to other hooks as well.

What Should Happen?

The hooks shouldn't be unloaded.

Steps to Reproduce

(Note that I'm not sure whether or not this happens with the default worktree implementation as well.)

1. $ claude -w
2. /hooks
3. /exit
4. Observe WorktreeRemove isn't called
