It's working — the hook is active. Proof: the command count went 1 → 2, and it logged rtk git status --short — meaning my plain git status --short was transparently rewritten and routed through rtk. So the reload did activate it. 🎉

Two things to explain in that output:

1. "Tokens saved: 0" — expected here. rtk saves by trimming verbose output. A 5-line git status has nothing to trim. The savings show up on the heavy commands I run constantly — big git diffs, grep/rg with lots of matches, build/typecheck logs, catting large files, ls of big dirs. As we get back into Word Ladder (grep, vite build, verify runs, etc.), the numbers will climb. You'll see it in rtk gain at end of day.

2. The "No hook installed" warning is a false negative. The hook is demonstrably working (your command was just routed through it), but rtk's self-check looks for a hook whose command starts with rtk …, and I wrote the full path /opt/homebrew/bin/rtk hook claude (for PATH safety). So its detector doesn't recognize its own hook — purely cosmetic, doesn't affect savings.

If that warning bugs you, I can switch the settings command to the bare rtk hook claude (the exact form rtk documents) — that both works and clears the warning, since /opt/homebrew/bin is on your standard shell PATH. It'd need one more window reload to take effect. Want me to make that tweak, or leave it as-is (working, just a cosmetic nag)?

Either way, rtk's now trimming tokens on every git/grep/build/verify command — want to get back to Word Ladder (curation pass / blobs+font / ladder panel)?
