The retired-destination note sits beside #25's storage paragraph
because it is the exception to it: an absent key is free, a value is
not.

`config-section .header` resolving to two elements is in NOTES because
it cannot be reproduced by opening Settings and looking -- the drawer
only exists once a job does.

## `config-section .header` is ambiguous once a job exists (2026-08-19)
#27 embeds `<job-panel>` inside four Settings sections, and a panel with
any job in it also mounts a `job-details-drawer` — whose own header
carries the class `.header`. So `config-page config-section .header`,
which `settings-reach.spec.ts` had used since plan 007, resolves to two
elements and fails Playwright's strict mode the moment a scan has run.
Two things follow. A spec asserting on a section's *disclosure* should
locate it by role and name (`getByRole('button', {name: heading})`) or
scope per section and take `.first()`, not by that class. And this is a
worked example of the more general trap: a class name is not a
selector's contract, and a component that embeds another inherits its
class names into every ancestor query.
It also only appears in a suite that has *done* something — the
sections are empty on a fresh app, so this cannot be reproduced by
opening Settings and looking.

**Its rows are shown where the work is started, not on a page of
their own.** #27 folded the Jobs destination away, and the shape it
folded into is `<job-panel kinds="…">` embedded four times — scans in
Settings → Libraries, index and enrichment in Settings → Search
Index, downloads under the download clients, the autotag apply in
`autotag-view`. One "Background jobs" section in Settings was the
obvious reading of the report and is the tab again under another
name.
Four things about it are load-bearing. **Four of the five kinds
already had a home** that showed their work — the tier list, the
download list, the apply ring — and what none of them had is the
*generic* affordances, so the panel carries pause, cancel, Details
and the log to each rather than replacing what is there. **The
controls are `applyJobControl`**, not a reimplementation, which is
what keeps the "you will discard hours of downloading" confirmation
alive: it is keyed on `KindIndexBuild` inside the shared handler, and
a host drawing its own buttons would drop it silently. **A panel with
nothing to say is `hidden`**, host margin included, because an idle
panel in four places is four pieces of furniture describing an
absence. And **there is no "Clear finished"** in it, because
`ClearFinishedJobs` is global — a Clear under Libraries would discard
the index build's history too; a finished row dismisses itself.
The header `job-indicator` is untouched and is still the one view of
everything at once, from every page. One consequence worth knowing
before writing a spec: a section holding a `job-panel` also holds a
`job-details-drawer`, whose own header carries `.header` — so
`config-section .header` is ambiguous the moment a job exists.

**A retired destination is the one shape this does not make free.** An
absent visibility key takes its default and an unknown one is dropped,
but `DefaultPage` is a *value*: a launch page naming a view that no
longer exists fails validation, and on the load path that means the app
refuses to start for whoever had it selected. `RetiredViews` is that
list, and `ApplyDefaults` treats a retired name as a zero value while
an unknown-but-not-retired one still errors — a typo is worth being
