Delete Branch "remove-settings-menu"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
The sidebar footer's cog opened a menu whose only item, Preferences, went nowhere — and it rendered for signed-out visitors too. Removed, along with its two catalog keys in both locales and the then-unreferenced
i-gearicon (views/partials/icons.ejsregenerated fromICON_NAMES).The footer now carries the profile menu — or Sign in when anonymous — plus the language picker. Kratos' own
/settingsaccount flow is unrelated and untouched.Upgrade note: a deployment that mounted a copy of the shipped
en-US.tsas its ownlocales/<tag>.tsfails boot withunknown key "shell.preferences" — add it to en-US firstuntil those two keys are dropped from the mounted catalog. That is the designed parity check doing its job, not a regression.
