feat(settings): Activity category — conversation fold level (T-453)

The first real settings tab. The Claude extension contributes an Activity
SettingsCategory whose fold-level select binds to app.claude.activityFoldLevel;
the activity panes already rebuild off the settings notifier, so a pick applies
live. Proves the schema-driven engine end to end with a production setting —
opening Settings now shows a populated, working category.
