Exact prompt that triggered the bug (REQUIRED)

Any prompt triggers it. The very first message after launching Claude Code shows "UserPromptSubmit hook error" and "SessionStart:resume hook
  error". Example: "i restarted again last test"

Full error output (REQUIRED)

SessionStart:resume hook error
  UserPromptSubmit hook error
  PostToolUse:mcp__plugin_context-mode_context-mode__ctx_doctor hook error
  These appear on every session start and on the first few tool calls. No stack trace is shown by Claude Code — it only displays "hook error".
  Running the hook manually with an unquoted path reproduces the crash:
  $ CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT="C:/Users/TECH SHOP/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/context-mode"
  $ echo '{}' | node $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/userpromptsubmit.mjs

  C:\Users\TECH:1
  SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
      at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1638:18)
      at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1680:20)
  Node receives C:/Users/TECH as the script path because the shell splits on the space.

Steps to reproduce (REQUIRED)

1. Have a Windows username with a space (e.g. TECH SHOP)
2. Install context-mode via plugin marketplace: /plugin marketplace add mksglu/context-mode then /plugin install context-mode@context-mode
3. Restart Claude Code
4. Send any message
5. See: SessionStart:resume hook error and UserPromptSubmit hook error

What have you tried to fix it?

Upgraded to latest version (1.0.75)

• Read hooks/hooks.json — found all commands use unquoted ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}:
  "command": "node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/userpromptsubmit.mjs"
• Tested manually: echo '{}' | node $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/userpromptsubmit.mjs — crashes with SyntaxError because shell splits TECH SHOP
  into two args
• Tested with quotes: echo '{}' | node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/userpromptsubmit.mjs" — works perfectly
• Fix: Changed all 13 commands in hooks/hooks.json to use escaped quotes:
  "command": "node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/userpromptsubmit.mjs""
• After the fix, all hook errors are gone. Verified with a clean restart — zero errors.
