- Restrict image generation availability toggle to admin users in imageModels.js, disabling the switch for non-admins and reverting unauthorized changes with an explicit message.
- Separate non-admin image model preference saves from global toggle updates.
- Track preference cleanup results on admin save in imagePreferences.js, propagating cleanup failures instead of ignoring them.
- Require valid preference keys on 403 fallback so toggle-only attempts reject cleanly.
- Add /api/prefs route mock to test_image_model_settings_sync_both_directions_and_survive_reopening.
- Add regression coverage for admin cleanup failures and non-admin toggle rejection.
- Enforce authoritative administrator global image_gen_enabled disable in get_user_setting, do_generate_image, and image_editing_provider_available, preventing non-admin user preference overrides while preserving user-disabled opt-outs and can_generate_images privilege checks across direct, gallery, and editor paths.
- Filter non-admin preference persistence in saveImagePreferences to user preference keys only (image_model, image_edit_model, image_quality), preventing global policy toggles from leaking into user preferences.
- Return accurate 200 OK Response from saveImagePreferences after fallback persistence succeeds so settings UI displays 'Saved' instead of false 403 error, while retaining visibility of real errors.
- Load per-user preferences via readImagePreferences in initImageSettings so non-admin selections persist and display correctly after page reload.
- Clear per-user model preferences on successful admin save (POST /api/auth/settings) via PUT /api/prefs/{key} with value: null to prevent stale per-user preferences from shadowing updated global settings.
- Support clearing keys in PUT /api/prefs/{key} when value is null.
- Add comprehensive Python regression tests for global-disabled/user-enabled, global-enabled/user-disabled, and authorized generation, plus Node and browser regression tests for non-admin persistence, toggle isolation, reload, and admin clearing.
static/js/settings.js was 5,721 lines behind a four-name public surface.
static/js/settings/ already existed with dom, registry, search, sidebar,
navigation and lifecycle, so this continues that package rather than
inventing a layout.
Moved verbatim, 407 lines:
settings/speech.js initTtsSettings, initSttSettings
settings/writingStyle.js initDocumentWritingStyle
settings/imageModels.js initImageSettings
settings/agent.js initAgentSettings
settings/api.js postSettings, lifted from _postSettings
These five were chosen because their only dependencies outside themselves
were el/byId, _postSettings and sortModelIds. Panels with wider reach stay
put: initEmailAccountsSettings, for instance, pulls a 64-declaration closure
covering most of the file, and splitting that is a design change rather than
a move.
settings.js keeps its public surface exactly: open, close,
refreshAiModelEndpoints and the default export, verified in a browser.
Three test updates the move required:
- tests/helpers/test_settings_shell_coordinator.mjs allowlists the real
modules the coordinator may import, and rejected the new ones. That guard
working is the reason to trust the rest of this diff.
- two source-introspection tests read settings.js for behaviour that now
lives in a panel module. They read the whole settings surface now, so the
next extraction does not break them again.
