The settings screen is reserved for essential and foundational options only — do not introduce settings for minor UI adjustments such as sizes, paddings, colors, or margins. Prioritize preserving a simple and uncluttered user experience. Users proposing new settings must confirm in a reply to the Coderabbit comment that they have reviewed and ensured alignment with these principles. Excessive or granular UI options increase code complexity and risk confusing users, and are generally not permitted.'
