Subject: [PATCH] fix(refresh-marketplace): use /reload-plugins instead of
 /exit + restart

Claude Code's `/reload-plugins` slash command picks up newly installed
plugins into the running session without forcing the user to /exit and
restart Claude Code. The hook JSON `systemMessage` and `additionalContext`
both now point at it.

Tests updated to pin the new hint shape.
