chore: bump version to 3.5.1

Switch from chat.message hook to session.created event for injecting
the using-superpowers skill content. The new approach:

- Injects at session creation via session.prompt() with noReply: true
- Explicitly tells model the skill is already loaded to prevent
  redundant use_skill calls
- Consolidates bootstrap generation into getBootstrapContent() helper
- Removes fallback pattern in favor of single implementation

Tested with 10 consecutive test runs and manual skill trigger validation.
