Repair the claude-status-bar install

Installing the plugin already configures everything on the next session start, via the SessionStart hook in hooks/plugin-setup.js. Run this skill only to fix the two cases that hook deliberately leaves alone.

The plugin root is this skill's grandparent directory — the folder holding bin/, hooks/ and docs/. Resolve it to an absolute path first and write that absolute path into settings, never the literal ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, which is only substituted for plugin-owned files.

Case 1 — a different status line is already configured

The setup hook never overwrites a status line it did not install. If the user wants to switch, show them the current statusLine.command from ~/.claude/settings.json, confirm they want it replaced, and only then set:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node \"<PLUGIN_ROOT>/bin/claude-code-status.js\""
  }
}

Preserve every other key in the file.

Case 2 — the phase rule is missing or was edited away

Check ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for claude-status-bar:begin. If absent, append the fenced markdown block from docs/global-claude-rule.md in the plugin root, wrapped in the same markers the hook uses:

<!-- claude-status-bar:begin — delete this block to remove the rule -->
…rule…
<!-- claude-status-bar:end -->

Then

Say which files changed and that the status line appears after restarting Claude Code. If both cases were already fine, say so instead of changing anything.
