 ## Use bare `ssh`, not the full path
 
-The pre-bash-backslash hook at `.claude/hooks/pre-bash-backslash.sh` blocks any Bash command that contains Windows-style backslash paths (e.g., `C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe`). This hook exists to prevent accidental backslash path usage in Git Bash, which interprets `\` as escape sequences.

+The system OpenSSH is on `PATH` in Git Bash, so prefer the bare command. Always use forward slashes for any Windows path you do pass explicitly — Git Bash interprets backslashes as escape sequences.

 ssh -i C:/Users/guru/.ssh/id_ed25519 guru@172.16.3.30 "command"
