Patterns
Edit settings with honest feedback
Use predictable fields and confirmation while distinguishing local UI behavior from persisted account changes.

User goal
Use predictable fields and confirmation while distinguishing local UI behavior from persisted account changes.
Workflow
| Step | Expected behavior |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read the section heading and the current value before changing a preference. |
| 2 | Use labeled native fields or a named switch for the value. |
| 3 | Apply the real ThemeSelector for browser theme preference. |
| 4 | Submit the settings form through its save bar. |
| 5 | Show confirmation only for the persistence behavior actually provided by that implementation. |
Decision rules
- ProfileSettingsForm and PreferencesSettingsForm currently set local saved state and clear it after 2400ms.
- ThemeSelector stores a browser preference independently.
- Do not describe local Changes saved feedback as verified server storage.
- Use the same label/hint/value hierarchy throughout settings.
Edge cases and recovery
- Failed saves, validation and retries need actual states before documentation can call them implemented.
- Disabled/read-only fields should explain why they cannot be changed.
- The profile fixture uses Mira Chen and example.org addresses.
- Check storage-unavailable theme behavior separately from an ordinary form save.
