fix(install): patch settings.local.json, not settings.json

Browse Source 
The installer enabled the caveman and ponytail plugins and registered the
autotune and dream reminder hooks in the target's .claude/settings.json. That
file is the project's reviewed, version-controlled policy, so an install
rewrote a tracked file and the hooks block turned up in the working tree of
whoever ran the install, in a repository that never asked for them.

The patch now lands in .claude/settings.local.json instead, the machine-local
and untracked sibling Claude Code reads with higher precedence. Nothing else
changes: enable-plugins.js derives the reminder paths from the settings file's
own directory, which is still .claude, and it creates the file when it does
not exist.

Both commands also patch the target's `.claude/settings.json`: the caveman and ponytail plugins are enabled so their modes auto-activate on session start, and two reminder hooks are registered — `autotune` points you at `/autotune` at most once an hour, `dream` points you at `/dream` at most once every twelve hours per repository (stamped in that repository's git dir).
