fix: hooks degrade gracefully when node is not on PATH (#57)

Browse Source 
Claude Code runs hooks via a non-interactive /bin/sh. On setups where node
isn't on that shell's PATH (Nix/nix-darwin, nvm, fnm), every prompt errored
with "/bin/sh: node: command not found". Guard each hook command so it runs
node only when present and exits 0 otherwise, no more per-prompt noise. The
slash-command skills are unaffected; only the always-on activation needs node.
Document the requirement in the README install section.

Closes #51.

The most effort ponytail will ever ask of you: The most effort ponytail will ever ask of you:
The Claude Code and Codex plugins run two tiny Node.js lifecycle hooks, so `node` needs to be on your PATH (note for Nix/nvm users: it must be on the non-interactive shell's PATH). If it isn't, the skills still work, the always-on activation just stays quiet instead of erroring on every prompt.
