feat(pi): added settings management for pi agent
Added ensure-settings.sh script that merges required pi agent settings into the runtime settings.json without overwriting user preferences. Required settings: - hideThinkingBlock: true (cleaner output) - quietStartup: true (custom header only) - skills: ~/.config/claude/skills (share with Claude Code) The script uses jq to merge settings, preserving user customizations while ensuring required values are present. Updated dots/Makefile to run ensure-settings.sh as part of pi-agent target, so 'make dots' will configure pi agent settings automatically. Template settings.json is tracked in git, runtime ~/.pi/agent/settings.json is managed by pi and merged with required values by ensure-settings.sh.
