# US-007: Manage stature settings with commands

As a **server administrator**, I want commands with tab completion so that I can change stature limits without restarting the server.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] `/heights settings` displays current settings; `/heights set min|max <value>` changes the selected bound.
- [x] Operators and senders with `spigotheights.admin` may use the commands, including console; unauthorized senders cannot change settings or receive suggestions.
- [x] Tab completion suggests subcommands, `min`/`max`, and valid example values, filtered by the typed prefix.
- [x] Successful changes apply immediately to gameplay and persist to `plugins/SpigotHeights/config.yml` without discarding unrelated configuration.
- [x] Invalid arguments or settings produce clear explanations and leave active and saved settings unchanged; persistence failure does not activate the new settings.
- [x] Existing players are not immediately resized; subsequent potion use, joins, and respawns use current limits, preserving the restoration exception for `1.0`.
- [x] Automated tests and README documentation cover commands, permissions, completion, validation, persistence, and live settings.

- [x] Command help and completion include the player-height subcommand without changing existing min/max command behavior.

## Verification

- Player-command extension verified with `./gradlew clean check jar` (33 passing tests), including existing settings-command regressions and new player-name/size completions.

- `./gradlew clean check jar` passed all 26 tests, including command execution with authorized/unauthorized generic senders, prefix-filtered valid completions, argument validation, failed saves, YAML reload/preservation, and live domain behavior.
- Code inspection confirms command/permission registration and shared settings suppliers in consumption, join, respawn, and launcher adapters. No live-server command or client tab-completion test was performed.
