chore(claude-settings): reduce the mirrored enabledPlugins block to deltas

[kyle-sexton]

No related issue: fleet fan-out of melodic-software/claude-code-plugins#3688 (closed); this repo's part of that remediation.

Summary

The fleet plugin list (standards components/cloud-environment/fleet-plugins.json, standards#542) is what every cloud snapshot installs, and the canonical bootstrap reads it overlaid with each repo's .claude/settings.json. A committed block that mirrors the whole catalog is therefore redundant in the cloud and, locally, writes one project-scope install record per entry into the user's installed_plugins.json on every session start in every checkout (claude-code-plugins#3813). This repo declares no per-repo deltas, so its block is reduced to {}.

Fix

• .claude/settings.json: enabledPlugins reduced to {}. extraKnownMarketplaces and everything else in the file is unchanged.

A repo that later needs a plugin disabled adds a single "<plugin>@melodic-software": false entry; a repo that needs one outside the fleet list adds a true entry. Template and rationale: claude-code-plugins docs/CLOUD-FLEET-SETUP.md.

Verification

• jq -e . .claude/settings.json parses; git diff touches only the enabledPlugins block.
• The cloud install path is unaffected: the snapshot installs the fleet list at build time (verified on stamp 2026-09-06.2 for claude-code-plugins and medley), and the canonical bootstrap's drift repair reads the same list from /opt/melodic-fleet-plugins.json.

• Review the change
• Post findings

Scope: .claude/settings.json, enabledPlugins reduced from the full mirrored plugin catalog to {} (+1/-72).

Findings: None. This is a minimal, low-risk data change:

• The commit at 2591643 touches only the enabledPlugins block; extraKnownMarketplaces and hooks are byte-for-byte unchanged.
• Verified the resulting file is valid JSON (jq -e .).
• Traced the consumer, install_plugins_from in .claude/cloud-bootstrap.sh: jq -r '.enabledPlugins // {} | to_entries[] | select(.value == true) | .key' is a correct no-op against {}, and the catalog-inventory missing computation merges the fleet list with the repo's block, so an empty repo block degrades cleanly to "fleet list is authoritative" rather than erroring or silently dropping plugins.
• No other file in the repo reads or enumerates enabledPlugins entries by name, so nothing else depends on the removed keys.
• PR body already satisfies this repo's PR body contract (No related issue: ... line, all four required sections non-empty).

Nothing to flag — the change matches its stated intent and the described verification checks out.
