Redesigns the settings modal after the settings window of textfold, as agreed in the proposal.

Shell

• Pages are grouped in the navigation (Querying, Your data, Assistant, Help), each with an icon. The header and footer stay in place while the page scrolls.
• Each setting is a row: its name and one line about it on the left, the control on the right. Controls are switches, segmented choices and selects; the building blocks are in settingsUi.ts.
• Changes apply at once. Save and Cancel are gone. The footer shows "Saved" after a change, and Done or Esc closes the settings. Forms whose fields belong together (an AI service, endpoint authentication) keep their own Save.
• New General page:
  • Theme: Light, Dark or System. System is new; it uses ThemeManager.getPreference() and followSystem().
  • Editor themes.
  • Requests.
  • Before running a query: format, check CONSTRUCT variables, IRI hover.
• openSettings("request") still works and opens General.
• On small screens the settings fill the screen, and the navigation becomes a row of pages.

Global request settings

• Request method, Accept headers and custom headers are stored as requestSettings in the persisted config.
• A change is applied to every open tab. addTab merges the settings into new tabs, so tabs opened later get them too.
• A tab config passed to addTab, such as a share link, still wins.
• The formatter, auto-format and the CONSTRUCT check now apply to every tab as well, and are kept across reloads (editorSettings). Before, they were per editor and lost on reload.

Settings → AI

• Services stay cards, with a radio for the default.
• The service form has:
  • A searchable, grouped Provider list (Combobox.ts).
  • The base URL, filled in from the provider. Once edited it shows "Changed", with a reset link.
  • A Get a key link per provider.
  • A show/hide button and Forget key for the API key.
  • Fetch models, which replaces Test connection, and a searchable Model list. Recommended models come first and any model id is accepted. Embedding, speech and image models are hidden.
  • A "Make this the default service" switch.
• CORS: listModels now flags a request that got no answer at all (AiRequestError.unreachable). In that case the form offers the provider's known models and explains what to do: a proxy, OpenRouter, or the CORS setting of Ollama or LM Studio.
• Gemini's models/ id prefix is dropped.
• Services store providerId. Existing services are matched by their base URL, so no migration is needed.

Other

• The QueryBrowser "Add workspace" button opens openSettings("workspaces") instead of clicking the third nav button.
• The user guide and developer guide are updated, and there is a changeset (minor for yasgui).

Testing

• Unit tests: 1756 passing. New tests cover unreachable vs. refused model lists, the Gemini prefix, provider lookup and chat-model filtering.
• Checked in a browser with Playwright:
  • Changing GET in tab 1 changes tab 2 and a new tab 3.
  • "Saved" appears after a change.
  • Adding an Ollama service with a typed model saves it as the default.
  • Esc in a dropdown closes only the dropdown.
• Not tested: real provider model lists. The cloud environment can't reach most AI APIs. The bundled recommended model ids are best guesses and are worth a look.
