feat(web): search individual settings by detail

[maria-rcks]

Settings search now matches individual setting titles, section names, and detailed keywords, with token-aware ranking for live results. The command palette uses the same availability-filtered catalog and opens the exact rendered row.

Validation: 65 focused unit tests, web typecheck, lint, formatting, and live browser passes for "pull request template", "default browser zoom", "administrative access", and "git fetch interval" at their exact destinations. The shared preview capture endpoint is unavailable, so the requested recording is still pending.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches global search/navigation and can change the selected provider environment when deep-linking; behavior is well-tested but affects a high-traffic UX path.

Overview
Adds settings-aware search to the command palette and upgrades the settings sidebar search to use the same catalog, ranking, and availability rules.

Search behavior now matches across setting titles, section names, and searchTerms aliases using order-independent tokens, accent-insensitive normalization (normalizeSearchText in shared utils), and stronger ranking (exact title beats split keyword matches). Command palette filtering uses the same token logic for projects, threads, and the new Settings result group.

Catalog & gating: SETTINGS_SEARCH_ITEMS grows with per-item keywords and flags (cloudOnly, primaryOnly, providerSettingsOnly, etc.). useAvailableSettingsSearchItems / filterAvailableSettingsSearchItems hide rows the UI cannot show (platform, WSL, permissions, connection state) instead of ad hoc WSL filtering in the sidebar.

Deep links: Selecting a setting navigates to the right panel with a hash anchor; panels pull titles/ids from searchableSetting. Collapsed targets (e.g. provider Advanced, Git fetch interval) auto-expand when opened from search; provider health-interval search may switch to the first connected environment that can render provider settings.

User docs note that ⌘K now searches settings and jumps to the control or section.

Note

Add individual settings search with deep-linking to command palette

• Adds accent-insensitive, locale-independent text normalization via shared normalizeSearchText in utils.ts; command palette and settings search both consume it
• Settings search now tokenizes queries and requires all tokens to match across title, section, and searchTerms; ranking favors exact, prefix, and substring matches
• Enriches the SETTINGS_SEARCH_ITEMS catalog with searchTerms, platform/session gating flags (macOnly, cloudOnly, providerSettingsOnly, etc.), and stable ids for deep-link anchors
• New SettingsSearchTarget component and useSettingsSearchTargetId hook let panels auto-scroll, focus, and expand the matching control when navigated from search results
• Many settings panels (ConnectionsSettings, ProviderSettingsPanel, SourceControlSettings, ThemeSettings, etc.) now source titles/ids from searchableSetting() for catalog consistency
• Behavioral Change: rankSearchFieldMatch returns 0 instead of 1 when tokens match but the full query is not a substring; settings that do not contain every query token are now filtered out

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a broad user-facing settings-search capability with platform, environment, and permission-aware filtering, deep-link navigation, and expansion of hidden settings controls. It also changes matching semantics for existing command-palette searches, creating cross-cutting runtime behavior that warrants human review.

Three findings, all the same shape: new catalog entries and the new palette call site expose settings whose rows are conditionally unmounted, which the catalog's desktopOnly/windowsOnly flags (and the sidebar's WSL filter) exist to prevent. See the inline comments.
