Description

Problem to solve

The Plans and Preferences pages in settings are using the same (selectable) card component, see https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/3358 and https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/3455. However, they both use the default radio input indicator instead of a custom icon.

Proposal

Plan A: A good MVC (minimum viable change) which could suffice would be to remove the radio input indicator altogether.

Plan B: Alternatively, using the initial specs with a custom icon indicator should suffice.

Research direction

Start with components/dashboard/src/components/SelectableCard.tsx and inspect its use on the Plans and Preferences settings pages. Compare the current radio indicator with the linked issue context and screenshots, then confirm the selected-card states no longer show the default indicator and that both page usages remain correct.
