A search box at the top of the settings sidebar (Ctrl/Cmd+F while settings
are open). Results replace the page list while typing, showing the page and
section; picking one (or Enter for the top result) opens that page, scrolls
to the setting and briefly outlines it. Esc clears.
The index is built from the settings source itself (SettingTile titles and
descriptions, section headers), loaded as raw text in a lazy chunk on first
search, so options added later are found without a hand-kept list.
Desktop-only options only show in the desktop app.

#459 General held 76 of ~110 settings (11 screens). Its sections now live
on pages named for what people come to do:
Account, Appearance, Messages (incl. editor, date and time),
Notifications, Calls & audio, Privacy & security (privacy options +
the former Devices page), Data & storage (storage, sync, your data),
Desktop (desktop app only), Emojis & stickers, Advanced (the former
Developer Tools + "show hidden events" / "legacy username colour"),
About.
The longest page is now ~3 screens (Appearance). Settings opens on
Account. Deep links keep working: "devices" lands on Privacy & security,
the old "general" on Appearance, the update notice on Desktop. Text that
pointed at the old page names is updated. The push-rule editor gets one
line explaining the Matrix terms. Remaining Title Case labels on Account
and Devices are sentence case.
#460 Chat background, seasonal theme and avatar decoration grids sit
behind one row: the current choice and a Change button (the first two
close after a choice; decorations keep their Save step).

Settings (every page, pickers, the denoise tester) was in the entry
chunk though it only renders when opened. Load it lazily behind a
focusable spinner (it opens inside a FocusTrap), and warm the chunk
when the app goes idle. SettingsPages and the status localStorage keys
move to tiny modules so callers don't pull the dialog back in.
sanitize-html (+postcss, htmlparser2) and chroma-js get their own vendor
chunks; with Settings gone the chunk graph had dropped them into the
entry chunk.

e2e/a11y.spec.ts runs @axe-core/playwright (WCAG 2.x A/AA) over the login
page, room timeline + composer, message options menu, thread panel, user
settings and room settings, failing on critical/serious findings other
than colour contrast (reported, not gated: generated avatar colours and
portal false positives). Aria snapshots of the composer, message menu,
thread panel and settings nav catch lost names/roles/live regions.
Burned down what the first run found:
- NavItem: callers' aria-selected is not valid on a div (axe critical);
it now drives data-selected for styling and aria-current="page".
- Composer placeholder at 0.5 opacity was ~2.3:1; now P300.
- Voice-limit and explore custom-limit number inputs had no label.
- Thread panel is an <aside aria-label="Thread">; the settings modal is a
role=dialog; the settings sections are a <nav>; the message action
menu carries data-message-menu + a label.
Also allows WebKit's CI wording for the well-known probe ("Could not
connect … Connection refused") that failed run #2003.

Prettier: auto-formatted 103 files to fix baseline. Prettier check in CI
is now a hard gate (removed continue-on-error).
Brotli: installed libnginx-mod-http-brotli-filter/static. Enabled in nginx
with brotli_static on for pre-compressed assets and comp_level 6.
Sentry releases: deploy script now exports VITE_APP_VERSION=<git-short-sha>
before building so each Sentry release maps to an exact commit.
CI also passes github.sha as VITE_APP_VERSION.
