feat(FN-1469): create settings-loadable example plugin

- Add fusion-plugin-settings-demo package with settings schema (string, number, boolean, enum types)
- Add lifecycle hooks (onLoad, onTaskCreated, onTaskCompleted)
- Add tools (suggest_tags, status) with settings-driven behavior
- Add comprehensive tests with 24 test cases
- Add manifest.json for plugin metadata and README with Settings installation flow
- Update PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md with new example and install instructions
- Also includes: FN-1468 plugin wiring, FN-1456 abandon flow, FN-1429 always-green tests, FN-1440 Authentication in Settings, FN-1133 plugin hot-reload support

+# Settings Demo Plugin
+
+Example Fusion plugin demonstrating settings schema, hooks, and tools with configurable behavior.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Settings Schema**: Four different setting types (string, number, boolean, enum)
+- **Lifecycle Hooks**: `onLoad`, `onTaskCreated`, `onTaskCompleted` that read settings at runtime
+- **Plugin Tools**: Two AI-agent-callable tools that expose settings-driven functionality
+
+## Installation via Dashboard Settings
+
+### Method 1: Settings → Plugins (Recommended)
+
+1. Open the Fusion dashboard
+2. Navigate to **Settings** (gear icon in header)
+3. Click **Plugins** in the sidebar
+4. Click the **Install** button
+5. Enter the absolute path to this plugin directory:
+   ```
+   /absolute/path/to/plugins/examples/fusion-plugin-settings-demo
+   ```
+6. Click **Install** to register the plugin
+7. The plugin will appear in the list with state "installed"
+8. Click the toggle to enable the plugin
+9. Click the **Settings** (gear) icon to configure the plugin:
+   - **Greeting Message**: Custom message shown when plugin loads
+   - **Max Tags**: Maximum tags to suggest per task (1-10)
+   - **Enable Logging**: Toggle console logging on/off
+   - **Log Level**: Minimum log level (debug, info, warn, error)
+10. Click **Save Settings** to apply configuration
+11. The plugin will reload with the new settings
+
+### Method 2: Manual Installation
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/gsxdsm/fusion.git
+cd fusion/plugins/examples/fusion-plugin-settings-demo
+```
+
+Then use the dashboard Settings → Plugins UI to install from the local path.
+
+## Settings
+
+| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
+|---------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `greetingMessage` | string | "Hello from Settings Demo!" | Custom greeting shown on load |
+| `maxTags` | number | 3 | Maximum tags to suggest per task |
+| `enableLogging` | boolean | true | Enable/disable console logging |
+| `logLevel` | enum | "info" | Minimum log level: debug, info, warn, error |
+
+## Tools
+
+### `settings_demo_suggest_tags`
+
+Analyze a task description and suggest relevant tags based on keyword matching.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `taskDescription` (string, required): The task description to analyze
+
+**Returns:** Suggested tags separated by commas
+
+### `settings_demo_status`
+
+Get the current plugin configuration status.
+
+**Parameters:** None
+
+**Returns:** Current settings values
+
+## Hooks
+
+| Hook | When | What it does |
+|------|------|--------------|
+| `onLoad` | Plugin starts | Logs greeting message and configuration |
+| `onTaskCreated` | New task created | Suggests tags for tasks with descriptions |
+| `onTaskCompleted` | Task reaches "done" | Logs completion message |
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Run tests
+pnpm test
+
+# Build (if needed)
+pnpm build
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+fusion-plugin-settings-demo/
+├── manifest.json           # Plugin metadata and settings schema
+├── package.json            # Package configuration
+├── tsconfig.json           # TypeScript configuration
+├── vitest.config.ts        # Test configuration

+    ├── index.ts            # Plugin implementation
+    └── __tests__/
+        └── index.test.ts    # Plugin tests
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The plugin includes unit tests that verify:
+
+- Manifest correctness and metadata consistency
+- Plugin export validity
+- Settings schema definition
+- Hook behavior with different configuration values
+- Tool execution with settings-driven output
+
+Run tests:
+```bash
+pnpm test
+```
+
+## Example Usage
+
+After installing and configuring the plugin:
+
+1. Create a new task with description mentioning keywords like "bug", "fix", "performance"
+2. The plugin will suggest relevant tags based on the content
+3. Check the console logs (if enabled) to see plugin activity
+4. Use the `/settings_demo_suggest_tags` tool to get tag suggestions
+5. Use the `/settings_demo_status` tool to see current configuration
+
+## Notes
+
+- The plugin uses `src/index.ts` as the entrypoint for local installation
+- Settings changes trigger a plugin reload automatically
+- Hook errors are isolated and won't crash the host system
+- Tools use the current settings values at execution time
