Activation routine that seeds the `slotyard_ad_inventory_settings` option with `enabled = 1`, only when the option does not already exist.
`Slotyard_Ad_Inventory` core singleton with a static `settings()` reader that type-checks the stored option and merges it over defaults with `wp_parse_args()`.
Extension action `slotyard_ad_inventory_init( array $settings )`, fired on `init` when the plugin is enabled.
`Slotyard_Ad_Inventory_Admin` singleton (admin requests only) providing the Settings → SlotYard Ad Inventory screen with a single Enabled checkbox.
Save handler on `admin_post_slotyard_ad_inventory_save` that stores the toggle as `1` or `0`, then redirects with `wp_safe_redirect()`.
