Subject: [PATCH] feat(ipc): add settings dump to print full live config as
 JSON (#2817)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds `dms ipc call settings dump`, returning the complete live
configuration via SettingsData.getCurrentSettingsJson() — the same
serialization used by the read-only banner's copy button.

Useful when settings.json is a read-only symlink (NixOS/home-manager):
changes made in the Settings UI only exist in the running shell's
memory, and this makes them retrievable from the CLI instead of only
through the clipboard button in the Settings modal.
