Release v0.0.26 (#7)

* Release v0.0.26 — plugin install from git, config path fix, hook shared data

- Plugin install uses git+{homepage} for GitHub/GitLab repos
- Post-install verification catches uv no-op bug
- detect_installer() targets correct Python with --python flag
- save_config() respects REELN_CONFIG/REELN_PROFILE env vars
- HookContext.shared dict for plugin-to-core data passing
- GameState.livestreams field persists URLs from hook plugins
- resolve_config_path() extracted for reuse
- Version strings removed from test assertions

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.0.26] - 2026-03-04
+
+### Added
+- `HookContext.shared` dict for plugins to pass data back (e.g. livestream URLs)
+- `GameState.livestreams` field — persists livestream URLs written by hook plugins
+- `resolve_config_path()` — extracted config path resolution for reuse
+
+### Fixed
+- Plugin install now uses `git+{homepage}` for GitHub/GitLab plugins instead of PyPI lookup
+- Post-install verification catches silent `uv pip install` no-ops
+- `save_config()` now respects `REELN_CONFIG` / `REELN_PROFILE` env vars (previously always wrote to default path)
+- `detect_installer()` passes `--python sys.executable` to uv so plugins install into the correct environment
+- Hardcoded version strings removed from tests (use `__version__` dynamically)
+
 ## [0.0.25] - 2026-03-04
