Description

As more Activities are added that use eligibility settings to determine allowable context (e.g., platform, BinaryViewType, etc.), it would be beneficial to show only the toggleable settings that apply to the current context in the context menu.

For example, the Windows CFG transform should only show up in the context menu for Windows related binaries.

Research direction

Start by locating the Quick Settings Menu implementation and the workflow eligibility handling for Activities. Trace how the current context is determined and how the Windows CFG transform is registered, then verify that only applicable toggleable settings appear for each binary context.
