Configure the Claude Code status line to use this plugin.

Read ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json and find the entry whose name contains status-line. Extract the installPath. If not found, tell the user the plugin does not appear to be installed and stop.
Derive the version-independent glob path from the install path by replacing the version component with *. For example, if the install path is /Users/chris/.claude/plugins/cache/cgraf78-claude-plugins/status-line/1.0.0, the glob path is ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cgraf78-claude-plugins/status-line/*/scripts/status-line.sh. Verify the actual file exists at the install path.
Check whether ~/.claude/settings.json exists.
- If it does not exist, create it with the content {}.
- Read the file and add or replace the statusLine key with:
```
"statusLine": {
  "type": "command",
  "command": "bash ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cgraf78-claude-plugins/status-line/*/scripts/status-line.sh"
}
```
Use the glob path with ~ and * for the version — this survives plugin updates without reconfiguration.
Confirm to the user that the status line has been configured and will take effect immediately.
