* docs(#4484): correct native-plugin-install's install-time-config parity claim

The doc claimed the plugin path and the npm installer "differ in
namespace and lifecycle only." False: the native plugin path
(claude plugin install, marketplace discovery, and the skills-dir
zero-friction load) materializes the repository tree directly and never
runs GSD's install engine, so install-time config baked into generated
artifact files at install time never applies there -- confirmed for
agent_tools (#4238/#4032, reproduced live in #4484: 35/35 files granted
via npm install, 0/35 via plugin install, even after
`claude plugin update`). model_overrides is the same architectural class
(install-time-only logic on the npm-install call tree, per
src/install-model-override-resolver.cts) but hedged, not claimed
confirmed, matching the issue's own hedging.

Reporter explicitly frames this as a docs-only fix: the code behavior
(zero install step on the plugin path) is presumably intentional design;
the bug is the doc's incorrect parity claim, not the missing
functionality. No code changed.

Fixed 4579

Corrected the native-plugin-install docs' parity claim — the doc previously said the plugin path and the npm installer differ only in namespace and lifecycle. They also differ in whether install-time config applies at all: the native plugin path never runs GSD's install engine, so config like agent_tools that the npm installer bakes into generated artifacts at install time silently never applies there, even after claude plugin update.
