fix(codex): restore Superpowers after compaction

Codex re-fires SessionStart with source "compact" after every context
compaction; the summary keeps progress but sheds the bootstrap and any
active skill's instructions — measured July cause of post-compaction
dispatch drift in long SDD runs (with re-injection: 18/18 hook fires,
66/66 post-compaction dispatch tuples correct in a 12.4h stress run).
Codex discovers skills natively at startup, so the hook is silent
there: the compact re-fire is the one unowned lifecycle point.

Adds the plugin-provided hook (hooks-codex.json + session-start-codex,
compact-only, fails open), wires it into the manifest and package,
documents install/trust behavior, updates codex-tools.md with the
re-grounding fallback, and tests the hook lifecycle, manifest, and
archive contents.

Rebuilt from the July codex-spinout-fixes branch, pared to the hook
core: the dispatch-hints layer it used to ride with is superseded by
the merged 2059-2062/2077-2080 stack and is dropped.

+#### Codex: compaction re-injection hook
+
+Codex compacts long sessions, replacing the transcript with a summary that
+drops Superpowers' skill instructions mid-run — long autonomous workflows
+(like subagent-driven-development) then drift back to harness defaults.
+Claude Code re-injects the bootstrap after every compaction; the plugin ships
+a SessionStart hook (`hooks/hooks-codex.json`) that restores the same
+behavior on Codex (0.145+). It fires only on post-compaction re-starts
+(`source: "compact"`) and is silent at normal session start.
+
+The hook installs with the plugin — no configuration needed. Codex asks you
+to review and trust it once, the first time it loads after install or update.
+Headless automation (CI, eval harnesses) must pass
+`--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust` instead, because untrusted hooks are
+skipped silently.

 ## Visual companion telemetry
 
 Because skills and plugins don't provide any feedback to creators, we have no idea how many of you are using Superpowers. By default, the Prime Radiant logo on brainstorming's optional visual companion feature is loaded from our website. It includes the version of Superpowers in use. It does not include any details about your project, prompt, or coding agent. We don't see your clicks or anything about what you're building. This helps us have a rough idea of how many folks are using Superpowers and which version of Superpowers they're using. It's 100% optional. To disable this, set the environment variable `SUPERPOWERS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` to any true value. Superpowers also honors Claude Code's `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC` opt-outs.

+## Compaction sheds these instructions
+
+Context compaction replaces your transcript with a summary that keeps
+your progress but not your working instructions — the first
+post-compaction dispatch is where routing drift starts, and once one
+bare spawn lands, the broken pattern becomes its own precedent. The
+plugin ships a compaction re-injection hook (`hooks/hooks-codex.json`,
+Codex 0.145+) that restores the bootstrap after every compaction; it
+needs one-time trust approval, so if you never see a
+`<CONTEXT_RESTORED>` block after a compaction, tell your human partner
+the hook may be untrusted or unsupported on this version. Without it,
+re-ground yourself: when a summary appears in your context, re-read
+this file and the SKILL.md of the skill you are mid-way through
+executing before your next dispatch, and trust the ledger over your
+summarized memory of what happened.
