Mike Swanson 4b03334304 feat: Claude Code pre-bash hooks for PowerShell and path enforcement
Block inline pwsh -Command/-c (force .ps1 file approach) and
Windows backslash paths in Bash commands (enforce forward slashes).

Eliminates the 2-3 retry loop on PowerShell operations and prevents
the /tmp path mismatch that caused the stale-payload Syncro incident.

# Pre-tool hook: block Windows backslash paths in Bash commands.
#
# Blocks patterns like C:\Users\foo passed inside Bash command strings.
# Enforces forward slashes: C:/Users/foo
#
# Why: Git Bash mangles backslash paths — C:\tmp writes to a different
# directory than the Write tool's C:\tmp, causing stale payload bugs.

cmd=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.tool_input.command // ""' 2>/dev/null)
# Match a drive letter followed by a literal backslash in the command.
# In the extracted command string (not JSON-escaped), backslash is just \.
