feat(settings): reorganize the settings hub into domain groups (#1321)

* refactor(settings): split System Limits and regroup the hub

System Limits had grown into a grab-bag of host alert thresholds, Docker
cleanup, and mesh data-plane controls under one mislabeled section. Split it
into Host Alerts, Docker & Storage, and Fleet Mesh, and split Developer into
Developer Diagnostics and Data Retention. Reorganize the sidebar into ten
domain groups: Personal, Access, Infrastructure, Monitoring, Notifications,
Automation, Organization, Security, Operations, Help.

Each section now saves only its own keys, so a concurrent edit in one section
no longer clobbers another. Data Retention sends the audit-log window only on
a paid plan, matching the field's existing visibility, so a Community save no
longer fails on a key the operator cannot set. NumberChip moves to a shared
module and the toggle reuses the existing shared component. The /settings API
is unchanged.

* test(settings): cover registry structure and per-section save payloads

Add structural invariants for the ten-group registry (every item maps to a
real group, ids are unique, the System Limits and Developer splits land in the
right groups with the right gates, renamed labels and the Registries paid gate
hold) and per-section payload tests asserting each split section patches only
its own keys, including the Community path where Data Retention omits the paid
audit-log key.

* docs(settings): document the regrouped settings hub

Rewrite the settings reference for the ten-group layout, replace the System
Limits page with Host Alerts, Docker & Storage, and Fleet Mesh, and document
the prune-on-update, reclaimable-space banner, and mesh auto-recreate settings
that were previously undocumented. Update the Settings navigation breadcrumbs
across the feature docs and refresh the affected screenshots.

* fix(settings): show Access sections as instance-global, not operator-scoped

License, Users, SSO, and API Tokens are instance-global settings but the
masthead scope label rendered them as operator-scoped because it keyed off the
old Identity group. Only Personal sections (account, appearance) are
operator/browser-scoped now; everything else reads as global.

Also add a compile-time exhaustiveness guard to the section switch so a future
SectionId added without a matching case fails the build instead of silently
rendering a blank panel.

* docs(settings): remap remaining settings breadcrumbs to the new groups

Update the navigation breadcrumbs that still pointed at the removed Identity,
Alerts, and Advanced groups: API Tokens and Users now sit under Access, Webhooks
under Automation, Labels under Organization, App Store under Infrastructure,
Appearance under Personal, and scan policies under Security > Vulnerability
Scanning. Correct the settings reference scope note so Access reads as global.

* docs(settings): remap renamed-section breadcrumbs across feature docs

Sweep every feature, operations, getting-started, and reference page for
navigation paths that still named the renamed settings sections, and point them
at the current ones: Security becomes Security > Vulnerability Scanning,
Notifications becomes Notifications > Channels, Routing becomes Notifications >
Notification Routing, and Developer becomes Operations > Developer Diagnostics
(with its retention windows under Operations > Data Retention). App Store moves
under Infrastructure and the four-group overview in the getting-started intro is
rewritten to the ten groups. Separators each page already used are preserved.

## Control and replica roles
Every Sencho instance carries a `fleet_role` flag that is either `control` or `replica`. The flag is consulted on every write path for the replicated resources and by the **Settings → Security** UI when it decides whether to render the edit controls.

| Role | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| **Control** | The default for any fresh install and for the instance whose **Settings → Nodes** lists the rest of the fleet. Accepts create, edit, and delete on scan policies, CVE suppressions, and misconfig acknowledgements. Pushes the full current state of each resource to every reachable remote on every write. |
| **Replica** | An instance that has received at least one Fleet Sync push. Renders replicated rules as read-only with a "Managed by control node" banner above the policy editor on **Settings → Security**. Returns `403 Forbidden` for any direct write attempt against the replicated tables. |

Returns `403 Forbidden` for any direct write attempt against the replicated tables. |
The transition from control to replica happens automatically the first time a replica accepts a push: the apply transaction sets `fleet_role = 'replica'` atomically with the row replacement, so the role flip and the new rows land together or not at all. Going the other way is explicit: an admin clicks **Demote to control** on the replica (see [Demote a replica](#demote-a-replica) below).

Misconfig acknowledgements ride the same channel as scan policies and CVE suppressions; if one resource replicates and another does not, it is almost always a per-resource watermark race. Re-save the acknowledgement on the control to produce a fresh `pushedAt`, then the next push catches the remote up. If the symptom persists, check the control's server logs for the `[FleetSync]` push outcome on that remote.
