chore(caveman): purge plugin + always-on integration
Disable + uninstall caveman@caveman and delete every repo dependency on it: SessionStart/UserPromptSubmit hook blocks, standalone hook files, settings.json enabledPlugins + marketplace entries, install-plugins.sh STEP 5.5, update-all.sh refresh step, plugins.lock.json entry, doctor.sh checks, lib/detect-plugins.sh helpers, lib/profile.sh + plugin-advisor + skills/profile protected-list entries, .gitignore runtime-file block, and README/USAGE docs. Dead /caveman:compress refs replaced with manual/claude.ai guidance. Memory-registry terse-format convention kept (separate subsystem). Version 3.4.0 -> 3.5.0. On a subscription plan caveman's ~75% output-token compression has no cost benefit, and the always-on hooks added friction on validation gates and client deliverables.
