Settings screen gains a generic text-input field type for plugin-defined configuration values

What

The settings interface (opened with /config) can now show a plain text-entry field for configuration values defined by a plugin, using the label, description, and validation rules the plugin provides. This joins the existing Output Style and Language picker fields, and all three now share a common helper that validates a change and applies it to the right settings file (localSettings or userSettings) before saving.

Why

Plugin authors can define settings that need free-text values (not just picking from a list), and this gives Claude Code a built-in way to collect and validate them consistently, catching bad input ("Not a value it takes") before it gets saved.
