Research direction

Start by reviewing the Settings UI cards shown in the issue, especially Stats, Security, backups, and anti-spam. No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named, so first identify where these cards are rendered and how their active states are represented. Done means the agreed active, toggle-free cards consistently show a clear active indicator while preserving the save-button area.
