Fixes#459, fixes#460, fixes#461, fixes#462, and completes #458 (the key export moves to Privacy & security).
#459, General split into pages people would look for.
General held 76 of the ~110 settings, about 11 screens. The sidebar is now:
Account;
Appearance;
Messages (incl. editor, date and time);
Notifications;
Calls & audio;
Privacy & security (privacy options plus the former Devices page);
Data & storage (storage, sync, your data);
Desktop (desktop app only);
Emojis & stickers;
Advanced (former Developer Tools, plus "show hidden events" and "legacy username colour");
About.
The longest page is now about 3 screens (Appearance, 1,962 px; it was 6,957 px). Settings opens on Account.
Deep links keep working: "devices" → Privacy & security, the old "general" → Appearance, and the desktop update notice → Desktop.
Text that named old pages is updated: the key-upload banner, Room retention, the close-behaviour prompt and the update notice.
The push-rule editor gets one line explaining the Matrix terms, and the remaining Title Case labels are fixed.
#460, big pickers collapsed. Chat background, seasonal theme and avatar decoration show the current choice and a Change button. The first two close after a pick; decorations keep their Save step.
The two overlapping receipt switches become one choice: Everyone / Private read receipts / Hide my activity.
This maps exactly onto the existing settings, so there's no migration; see the note on #461 for why it's one choice rather than two.
#462, Calls & audio grouped: Joining · Microphone and noise · Push to talk and hotkeys · Sounds · Quality · Soundboard, the same in every mode. No setting changed.
Also: the app CSS hides native radio inputs, so the receipt choice and the your-data import choice now use the folds RadioButton; the selection was invisible before.
Tested in the browser on a build of this branch:
the menu shows the new pages and Desktop stays hidden in a browser;
the page heights are as above;
Calls shows all six groups;
each privacy option sets the intended pair of settings (everyone → off/off, private → private only, hidden → both);
link previews are on Privacy and gone from Messages.
Playwright, 18/18: security-nudge (deep link to Privacy & security), stale-sessions, your-data (Data & storage), key-upload-recovery, a11y (incl. an axe audit of settings and the updated menu snapshot), and boot. Unit tests: 1,440 pass. Lint is at 29.
Phase 2 of the settings audit #453 (report: https://claude.ai/artifact/L34kAp1L7jdvomjHHbeuzZ), approved by the owner.

#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).

#461 Both link-preview switches move into Privacy. The two overlapping
receipt switches become one choice that maps exactly onto the existing
settings (no migration, every old combination behaves the same):
Everyone / Private read receipts / Hide my activity (also hides typing
and other people's receipts, as "Hide typing and read receipts" did).
#462 Calls & audio is grouped, the same in every mode: Joining,
Microphone and noise, Push to talk and hotkeys, Sounds, Quality,
Soundboard. No setting changed.
