Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue discussion and the linked screenshot to understand the inconsistency between visible and hidden module controls. No files, tests, or entry points are identified, so first locate the Admin UI module settings and clarify the intended toggle behavior. Done means the expected deactivation flow for hidden modules is agreed and implemented.
