### Expected behavior

Ability to upgrade doom emacs

### Current behavior

Can't update doom emacs, with an error message of `peculiar error: (void-function use-package-hook!) ` I tried to clean install doom emacs but still getting the same error

### Steps to reproduce

1.
```
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom upgrade
> Preparing to upgrade Doom Emacs and its packages...
x There was an unexpected runtime error
Message: Failed to fetch from upstream
```
2. `cd ~/.emacs.d`
3.
```
$ cd ~/.emacs.d # or wherever you've cloned Doom to
$ git reset --hard a9866e37e45b43785116ef474c8cd6aa9b5185dd
$ git pull origin master
$ doom sync -u
`peculiar error: (void-function use-package-hook!) `
```

Research direction

Start with the upgrade path at ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom and reproduce the failure using `doom upgrade` and `doom sync -u` after the documented git reset and pull steps. Use the linked system information and the `(void-function use-package-hook!)` error to trace the failing upgrade; done means Doom upgrades or syncs successfully without that error.
