Configure Claude HUD

**FIRST**: Use the Read tool to load `~/.claude/plugins/claude-hud/config.json` if it exists.

Store current values and note whether config exists (determines which flow to use).

Always On (Core Features)

These are always enabled and NOT configurable:

undefined

Advanced settings such as `colors.*`, `pathLevels`, `display.usageThreshold`, and `display.environmentThreshold` are preserved when saving but are not edited by this guided flow.
