Fix critical hook initialization bug preventing workflow execution

- Remove problematic hooksInitialized flag that prevented proper hook registration in development mode
- Add comprehensive error logging with "AUTOMATION PLUGIN:" prefix for easier debugging
- Add try/catch blocks in hook execution to prevent silent failures
- Ensure hooks register properly on every PayloadCMS initialization

This fixes the issue where workflows would not execute even when properly configured.
