Lead Appearance with light and dark, and stop pages listing whole datasets
Appearance was six cards deep and Light/Dark was the third of them, below the wallpaper grid and the entire lock screen -- so the control reached most often was the last one you got to. It is five tabs now, Theme first. The mock showed four; the page turned out to have eleven cards, so Titlebars and Windows became Windows, and Clock and vitals became Shell, rather than pretending four would hold them. Region, Date & Time and Displays each rendered a complete dataset as rows: every installed locale, the whole tz database, every mode the monitor advertises. The chooser was never the problem -- SearchPicker already existed and worked. It was simply rendered always-expanded, so the one line saying what is currently set sat under hundreds that were not. PickerRow collapses each behind its current value and closes again once something is picked. The avatar never appeared to change because accountsservice writes every picture to the same path, leaving the URL byte-identical while Qt served its cached image. cache:false was already set and could not have helped: an unchanged source is never re-read at all. avatarUrl now carries a revision fragment, bumped only when a write actually succeeds. Pictures are cropped before they are set, in the picture's own pixel coordinates so the result does not depend on the size it happened to be displayed at, and written out at 512x512 through GdkPixbuf -- already a dependency here, so nothing new is required. Snapshots listed nothing. The timeline and its Delete buttons existed the whole time, behind a row labelled "Browse...", a word that promises a file browser. The three most recent points are shown inline now, with the rest one press away. qmldir-registration-contract exists because an unregistered component is not a quiet problem: Quickshell fails the entire configuration on it, so the settings window dies and the bar and dock go with it. That happened twice while writing this, both times on a machine somebody was using. It is pure file inspection, so it runs before a change ever reaches the running shell.

Drop the product branding: this is just Settings
It is the system settings app for this desktop, so it is named the way one is. The window is "Settings", the titlebar is "Settings", the wordmark above the search field is gone, the sidebar's last row is "About", and the status line reads "Desktop is healthy". Prose followed the same rule. Forty-odd strings explained what "Panama" does -- "Panama never animates while idle", "Restore Panama defaults", "Panama looks in ~/Pictures/Wallpapers" -- which is how a product describes itself, not how a settings panel describes a setting. They now say what happens. No user-visible "Panama" remains anywhere in the app. Two consequences worth naming: The SUPER+I shortcut's description is user-visible, because the Shortcuts page is generated from it, so that is renamed too. Rebindings are keyed by shipped chord rather than description, so no existing override is orphaned by this. Three contracts matched the window by title and one matched that shortcut by description; all four are updated. There are no Hyprland window rules keyed on the title, so nothing about the window's placement changes. The desktop entry is now Name=Settings, but the FILE keeps its panama-settings name, as does the icon: the dock pins applications by desktop id, and renaming the file would silently unpin it. dock-pins-contract covers exactly that. The dated design docs under docs/superpowers keep the old name. They are a record of what was decided when, and editing them to agree with the present would make them lie about the past.

Add Region & Language, and answer "what am I running on" in About
More GNOME Settings parity.
Region & Language is new. The locale is localectl's, and Panama stores no
copy of it -- there is exactly one system locale, so a preference here
would be a second source of truth that drifts the moment anything else
changes it. Codes are resolved against iso-codes into "Portuguese
(Brazil)" the way GNOME does, with the code kept visible because it is
what actually gets written and someone choosing between two Spanish
variants needs to see it. Changing it is privileged and only applies to
programs started afterwards, so the page says a sign-out is needed
rather than claiming the new language is in use.
The service is called SystemLocale, not Locale: QML has a built-in
Locale value type that silently shadows a singleton of that name, and
every binding then reads properties off the wrong thing. The page
rendered empty with nothing but "cannot read property of undefined" to
explain it.
About now answers what GNOME's About answers -- model, processor,
memory, disk, OS, kernel, windowing system -- where before it listed
only Panama's own component versions. Graphics is joined from
GraphicsDevices rather than read again, because two readouts of the same
hardware are two things that can disagree. Placeholder DMI strings
("To Be Filled By O.E.M.") are filtered out, and unreadable facts are
omitted rather than shown as "Unknown".
The Fedora hand-off card was one row listing five subjects that opened
the network panel regardless. Naming a panel and then not opening it
reads as a broken button rather than a deliberate hand-off. Each subject
now opens the panel that owns it, and openGnomePanel takes an optional
subpage so "Users" reaches System's users page the way GNOME's own
desktop entry does, instead of dropping the user on System's front page.
Printers and online accounts are not repeated here; they stay with the
network hardware on Network & Devices.
One bug this surfaced, caught by the hyprland write contract: the Lua
config key and the hyprctl option name genuinely differ for tap to
click. hl.config wants input.touchpad.tap_to_click; getoption answers to
input:touchpad:tap-to-click. Either spelling used for both fails -- a
hyphen is not a Lua identifier, and the underscored name is not a known
option -- which is what the schema's two separate fields are for.
