# US-008: Control player quest commands

As an **administrator**, I want to enable or disable player quest commands so that I can require players to use physical quest boards.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] Player `/quests` commands are disabled by default.
- [x] An authorized administrator can use `/questadmin commands enable|disable` with contextual autocomplete.
- [x] The command setting persists across server restarts.
- [x] When disabled, `/quests`, `list`, `complete`, `cancel`, and `claim` reject execution with a clear message directing the player to a quest board; nearby creation follows [US-012](us-012-create-quests-near-a-board.md).
- [x] Disabling commands does not prevent any equivalent action through a registered board.
- [x] `/questadmin` remains available to authorized administrators regardless of the player-command setting.
- [x] Unauthorized users cannot change the setting.
- [x] Automated tests verify the default, persistence, authorization, every gated subcommand, and autocomplete.
