PR fix notes

PR #47760: feat(plugins): add usage monitor

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

  • adds an official usage-monitor plugin under plugins/
  • includes a macOS SwiftBar installer command, cached /usage fetcher, and menu bar renderer instead of requiring users to stitch together external scripts manually
  • keeps the install flow self-contained by copying the runtime scripts into ~/.claude/plugins/usage-monitor and symlinking the SwiftBar entrypoint
  • documents the install/config flow and adds the plugin to plugins/README.md

Related issue

  • Closes #46832

Validation

  • bash -n plugins/usage-monitor/scripts/claude-usage-fetch.sh
  • bash -n plugins/usage-monitor/scripts/claude-usage.1m.sh
  • bash -n plugins/usage-monitor/scripts/install-swiftbar.sh
  • jq empty plugins/usage-monitor/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
  • HOME="$(mktemp -d)" bash plugins/usage-monitor/scripts/install-swiftbar.sh --trusted-dir "$PWD" --refresh-minutes 7
  • rendered a sample cache file through plugins/usage-monitor/scripts/claude-usage.1m.sh and verified the expected menu bar output
