Hook: ~/.cargo/bin not in PATH, rewritten commands use bare 'rtk' instead of absolute path

[Rmohid]

Problem

The generated hook script (rtk init -g) has two related PATH issues:

1. Guard check fails silently when ~/.cargo/bin is not in Claude Code's shell PATH

Claude Code's shell environment does not inherit ~/.cargo/bin from the user's profile. The guard at the top of the hook:

if ! command -v rtk &>/dev/null || ! command -v jq &>/dev/null; then
  exit 0
fi

...silently exits because rtk can't be found. The hook never fires.

2. Rewritten commands use bare rtk instead of absolute path

Even after fixing the PATH for the guard check, the rewritten commands use bare rtk:

REWRITTEN="${ENV_PREFIX}$(echo "$CMD_BODY" | sed 's/^git status/rtk git status/')"

When Claude Code executes the rewritten command, rtk is not found because ~/.cargo/bin isn't in the execution PATH either.

Fix

Add to the top of the hook:

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
RTK="$(command -v rtk)"

Then use $RTK in all sed substitutions instead of the bare word rtk.

Environment

• rtk 0.15.3
• macOS (Tahoe)
• Claude Code CLI
• rtk installed via cargo install

PR #161 changes the install directory to ~/.local/bin but doesn't fix the hook PATH. The hook still does command -v rtk without adding common install paths.

Fix is one line at the top of .claude/hooks/rtk-rewrite.sh (before the guard check):

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

PR welcome.

Verified fix: PR #150 eliminates this by replacing bash/jq hook with native Rust rtk hook-rewrite subcommand. No PATH lookup needed -- if rtk is callable, the hook works. Build passes, 435 tests pass (94 hook-specific).
