ParagonSetting

Internal runtime representation of a single discovered editor setting. Wraps a PropertyInfo with resolved metadata — display label, persistence key, value type, and settings scope. Created by ParagonSettings during domain reload for each property decorated with [EditorPreference] or [ProjectSetting].
