Subject: [PATCH] fix(base): use printf instead of echo for hook variable

Use printf instead of echo in list_hooks() to avoid dash's echo interpreting \x2f hex escapes, which corrupts hook file paths containing escaped slashes.

1. parse-root.sh creates a hook file with \x2f-escaped device paths via str_replace()
2. list_hooks() finds the file via glob but outputs it with echo, which dash interprets as hex escapes
3. The corrupted path causes check_finished() to never find the real hook, looping until timeout (~5 min boot delay)
