Duplicate hooks.json loading error in plugin manifest

[goosekeeper233]

Bug

The plugin fails to load with this error:

Failed to load hooks from .../hooks/hooks.json: Duplicate hooks file detected:
./hooks/hooks.json resolves to already-loaded file .../hooks/hooks.json.
The standard hooks/hooks.json is loaded automatically, so manifest.hooks should
only reference additional hook files.

Cause

In .claude-plugin/plugin.json, the manifest declares:

"hooks": "./hooks/hooks.json"

But Claude Code auto-loads hooks/hooks.json by convention when it exists in the plugin directory. Declaring it again in the manifest causes a duplicate load error.

Fix

Remove the "hooks" field from plugin.json — the file will still be picked up automatically.

Affected version: 2.0.0-alpha

+1, still hitting this on 2.0.0-alpha (May 2026) on a fresh /plugin install homunculus@homunculus. Confirmed locally: removing the "hooks": "./hooks/hooks.json" line from plugins/homunculus/.claude-plugin/plugin.json resolves the load error, and the hooks continue to fire via Claude Code's auto-load of the standard hooks/hooks.json path. Same one-line change as closed PR #6.
