Description
The tracing settings UI shows fixed values and confirms saving without a persistence request, which gives operators a false success signal.
Scope
- Render unsupported settings as read-only and explain the effective configuration source.
- Remove the simulated save success and any control that implies persistence not provided by the backend.
- Keep existing trace navigation and accessible labeling/focus behavior.
Acceptance criteria
- The UI cannot report a successful configuration write without a confirmed backend operation.
- Read-only state and any unknown/effective-value limitation are visible.
- A focused UI check covers keyboard interaction and the absence of false save confirmation.
Boundaries
Implementing a new settings persistence API is outside this fix.

Research direction
Start with src/flock/frontend/src/components/settings/TracingSettings.tsx and inspect how fixed tracing values, controls, and save feedback are rendered. Check the existing trace navigation and accessible labeling/focus behavior, then add a focused UI check for keyboard interaction and the absence of false save confirmation. Done means unsupported settings are visibly read-only and no unconfirmed configuration write is reported as successful.
