Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating mkvm's installation flow and how plugins expose configurable fields; define which static values the setup script should prompt for and how it should populate each associated plugin, then verify the flow after installation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Create a script that can run after installing mkvm that prompts you for things that won't change very often, like subscription manager credentials, ssh public key, and anything else relatively static. The script would automatically fill in the associated plugin's fields
