Stock Windows 10/11 ships C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe (the WSL
launcher) as the first match for `where bash`. WSL's bash cannot
execute Windows-style script paths, so when Git Bash is installed
outside the two standard system locations -- specifically the
per-user "Only for me" Git for Windows installer
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Git) or a Scoop install
(%USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\git\current\usr\bin) -- run-hook.cmd
silently fails: WSL prints "Windows Subsystem for Linux must be
updated", the script returns 0, and Superpowers' SessionStart
bootstrap is never injected. From the user's perspective skills
auto-trigger inconsistently or not at all, with no surfaced error.
Add explicit probes for both locations between the existing system-
wide Git for Windows checks and the `where bash` fallback. Also add
a comment to the fallback documenting the WSL-launcher trap so future
maintainers understand why the explicit probes must come first.
Verified on a Windows 11 VM (dockur/windows 11, Git Bash 2.x, Node
22):
- System Git present: existing probe still matches (no regression)
- System Git absent, per-user Git present via junction: new probe
matches, hook produces valid 6422-byte JSON, exit 0
- All Git probes absent: confirmed WSL trap fires
("Windows Subsystem for Linux must be updated") and the hook exits 0
silently, demonstrating the original bug
Existing tests/hooks/test-session-start.sh still passes on macOS (7/7).
