Summary
In the web app, the user avatar dropdown menu in the workspace sidebar shows two side-by-side entries — Settings and Preferences — both with gear-style icons. Both entries open the exact same profile settings modal (toggleProfileSettingsModal) with only the initial tab differing (general vs preferences), which looks duplicated and is confusing.
Why should this be worked on?
Merging them into a single Settings entry (landing on the general tab) removes the visual duplication. Preferences remain one tab-switch away inside the same modal, so no functionality is lost and the menu is cleaner.

Research direction
Locate the workspace sidebar's user avatar dropdown and the entries that call toggleProfileSettingsModal with the general and preferences tabs. Remove the duplicate Preferences menu entry while keeping Settings opening the general tab. Verify the menu shows one Settings entry and that Preferences remains reachable through the modal's tab switch.
