fix: skip statusLine in repo settings.json on local install (#2248) (#2277)

Local installs write to .claude/settings.json inside the project, which
takes precedence over the user's global ~/.claude/settings.json. Writing
statusLine here silently clobbers any profile-level statusLine the user
configured. Guard the write with !isGlobal && !forceStatusline; pass
--force-statusline to override.

Closes #2248
