Research direction
The issue names CmdPal's global dock settings but provides no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the CmdPal settings UI and how global and monitor-specific settings are represented. Done should make monitor-level overrides visible so users can tell when they differ from global settings, with applicable tests updated or added.
