Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Unrelated to this PR - Is there a reason that the settings schema is still at 0.2? I'm just surprised that it doesn't have supported versions of the schema per client like the manifests do

We need to add that to the checklist so we can support versioned schemas. Great call out @Trenly!
