Make every settings page reachable from the launcher

Browse Source 
Settings had a search index and the launcher had script commands, and
neither knew about the other: finding a setting meant opening Settings
first and searching there. One command per page is now generated from
the same sources the in-app search reads -- the sidebar page list, the
group routing, and the schema labels -- so a setting searchable inside
Settings is searchable from the launcher without a second list to
maintain.

Generating it surfaced a gap in the in-app search as well. Six pages had
no vocabulary at all, because their contents come from the system rather
than our schema, so searching "volume" found nothing in Settings either.
They now carry entries, which improves both surfaces.

The product prefix is dropped from every hand-written command title. The
generated ones are qualified "Settings: <page>" instead: a bare page
label collides with the feature of the same name, and two commands
sharing a title are indistinguishable in a launcher.

**Open question for Gabriel:** the existing launcher commands are titled
"Panama: Open Settings", which the debranding pass did not touch. Keep the prefix
so desktop commands group together in the launcher, or drop it to match the rest?
**Done when** the launcher is the fastest way to reach any setting.
**Landed 2026-08-19.** The product prefix is gone from all eighteen hand-written
commands. The nineteen generated ones are titled "Settings: <page>" -- not
branding, which was the thing being dropped, but a qualifier: a bare page label
collides with the feature of the same name ("Screen Intelligence" is both a thing
you open and a page about it), and two commands sharing a title are
indistinguishable in a launcher.
Six pages turned out to have no search vocabulary at all -- sound, privacy,
region, accounts, home-phone, about -- because their contents come from the
system rather than our schema. That was an in-app search gap too: "volume" found
nothing in Settings either. They now carry entries, so both surfaces improved.
