Subject: [PATCH] fix(hooks): use Optional[Path] for py39 compat
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PEP 604 union syntax (Path | None) requires Python 3.10+. The project
still supports 3.9 (per pyproject target-version and CI matrix), and
this annotation lives in a function signature so it is evaluated at
module load time — failing with "unsupported operand type(s) for |"
on test-linux 3.9.

The other ``int | None`` annotation in this file is inside a function
body, where Python skips runtime evaluation of local annotations, so
it does not trip 3.9.
