Verified against a real claude plugin uninstall: it only drops the plugin
from the enabled list. The server keeps running, the cached source stays on
disk, and the hook entries claude plugin install wrote into settings.json
are left behind pointing at the now-uninstalled cache dir — silently fails
once Claude Code eventually GCs it. The previous instructions ("uninstall
removes the hooks and the cached source") were untested assumptions; this
adds the missing settings.json cleanup step.
