Items no longer found in Settings
Since v0.4.x the Settings window keeps only General and Device; some entries seen in older docs/versions moved elsewhere:
| Item | Current state |
|---|---|
| AI voice settings (former “AI Config” tab) | Removed from Settings; now configured in Function Wheel editor → Knob voice & chat: voice (timbre), provider, Base URL, model, etc. |
| Plugin management (former “Settings → Plugins”) | Entry is hidden in the current version |
| Welcome wizard | Only visible in development/debug builds, not in release installers (see First-Run Wizard) |
