feat(plugin): every session says which plugin version is executing
Twice a shipped fix failed to reach a live install, and both times the only
detector was the operator saying "I don't think it updated" (#2198, #2209).

The reason it is hard to see: an install has two halves and only one
self-updates. The marketplace clone pulls on its own; the CACHE is what
executes and refreshes only when the manifest version changes. So inspecting
the clone shows the fix present while the broken copy keeps running — the
obvious debugging move actively misleads.

The SessionStart context now names the version it is running. That makes "what
is actually executing?" answerable from the transcript rather than by
archaeology in the cache directory.

DELIBERATELY SMALLER THAN THE ISSUE PROPOSED. #2220 recommended reporting the
version to the server, storing last-seen per user, and surfacing it in
Settings. That is three surfaces and a migration to answer a question the
session can answer about itself. Per the operator's framing on #2338 — "I'm
afraid of building another integration between two more surfaces, you being
able to notice is enough" — the visibility is the deliverable, not the
plumbing.

It also lands the issue's own caveat, which the server-side design could not:
the state most needing diagnosis is the one where credentials never arrive,
and there the dynamic tier does not run at all. This marker is keyless and
networkless, so it still appears — verified against both the unconfigured and
unreachable-instance paths.

CI pins it, asserting WITHOUT credentials for the same reason. Manifest 0.1.22
-> 0.1.23, because a shipped hook changed and an unbumped manifest is precisely
the failure this commit is about.

"""Guards for `plugin/` — the one part of this repo that ships straight to users.
WHY THIS EXISTS. `plugin/` is not built into the Docker image. Installs fetch it
from this git repo via `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, so a push IS the
release for plugin content: no build, no gate, immediately fetchable. Two
separate defects have reached a live install through that path:
- #2198 — all four hook scripts were inert (wrong env-var case, line-oriented
`jq -rR`, line-oriented `cut -c`). No CI ran, because `plugin/**` wasn't in
the workflow's `paths:` filter at all.
- #2209 — the fix for #2198 shipped to `main` and still couldn't reach an
install, because `plugin.json`'s version wasn't bumped and the installer
compares versions to decide whether to refresh its cache.
The rule for the second one was already written down and was still missed. A
written rule that depends on being remembered during a long session is not a
control; this is.
shellcheck and jq are NOT in `ci-python` (verified against CI-runner's Dockerfile
and scripts/install-common.sh, not from memory — rule #37). CI installs both
per-job, which is what CI-runner's own docs/process.md prescribes for a dep with
a single consumer: "If only one project needs the dep, prefer that project
installing it per-job in their workflow — at least until a second consumer
arrives." Promotion into the image is filed as an issue there rather than
assumed here.
Both are optional at runtime: without shellcheck the lint step is SKIPPED and
says so, and without jq the smoke test is skipped. A skipped check announces
itself loudly, because a check that quietly no-ops is the failure mode this
whole file exists to prevent.
Usage:
python3 scripts/check_plugin.py # all checks
python3 scripts/check_plugin.py --no-version # skip the bump check

# and no network, so "silent" would be the wrong assertion for it.
#
# This is the contract that made #2198 invisible for weeks, so it is worth

# Pinning it does NOT make the failure visible; it makes sure the fail-open
# behaviour is deliberate rather than accidental.
# A symbol that exists nowhere, ASSEMBLED rather than written literally.
# The prior-art hook's local arm (#2280) fires with no credentials, so the
# silence assertion below needs a name the repo genuinely lacks. Two traps,
# both hit while writing this:
# - `def f` matched real code, so the hook spoke and "silent" was asserting
# the wrong thing;
# - spelling the replacement out in full put `def <name>(` INTO this file,
# so the smoke event defined the very symbol it claimed was absent.
