Promote a plugin-enable setting into a project's .claude/settings.json #204

Description

@bminier

Opportunity (captured from a real scenario)

2026-05-30: Wanted to enable the coauthor plugin by default in the manuscript-irrelevant project by editing its .claude/settings.json. This is exactly the cross-scope settings promotion claude-scope is meant to handle — but doesn't do yet. Logging the concrete use case rather than blocking on it (edit was made by hand).

Use case

  • Take a setting (here: enable plugin coauthor) and apply/promote it into a target project's .claude/settings.json scope via the GUI, instead of hand-editing the JSON.
  • Generalizes to: promote any individual setting between scopes (user ↔ project ↔ local) and toggle plugin enablement per project.

Approach

TBD — feeds the broader scope-promotion model. Filed as a backlog opportunity, not a committed spec.

Acceptance criteria

  • TBD during scoping.
