fix: stop hook schema, uninstall cleanup, and README architecture note

- Fix session-stop.sh in 0.1.0 cache to use systemMessage instead of
  hookSpecificOutput (Stop hook schema doesn't support hookSpecificOutput)
- Remove debug scaffolding from post-tool-use.py
- Installer: pre-create hook_debug.log so sandbox can write to it;
  uninstall now removes marketplace plugin symlink
- README: clarify extension vs mod architecture, fix cache path in
  install description

+A Claude Code **extension** that turns your coding sessions into a creature-collecting game.
 
 Buddymon are discovered, caught, and leveled up through real development work — not separate from it.
 
+> **How it works:** Buddymon uses Claude Code's hook and plugin system — it is not a UI mod. Notifications (encounters, XP, session summaries) appear as system-injected context in the chat thread. They are visible to Claude and displayed in the conversation, but do not appear in a separate UI widget. This is a deliberate constraint of CC's extension API.
