Task 08: Separate Cmd+K Settings section

Root cause

CommandsListContent ranks typed matches correctly but renders every command inside one hardcoded Commands group. Search-only catalog entries therefore lose their Settings information hierarchy once they become visible.

Acceptance

• Regular typed matches remain under Commands.
• Search-only settings matches render under their existing localized Settings group.
• A group is omitted when it has no matching results.
• Ranking, secondary context, selection, and exact-target navigation remain unchanged.

Verification

• cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web test -- --run components/command-panel-content-search.test.tsx
• cd apps/web && pnpm e2e:run --host tests/command-panel.spec.ts --grep "settings discovery"

Files

• apps/web/components/command-panel-footer.tsx
• apps/web/components/command-panel-content-search.test.tsx
• apps/web/e2e/tests/command-panel.spec.ts

Mobile parity

The command list renderer is shared by desktop and phone. This change adds no viewport branch, touch target, overlay, navigation, or scroll-owner behavior; the existing shared component contract is sufficient for this presentation-only hierarchy correction.

Parallelism

Sequential; the regression and implementation modify the same command-list contract.

Results

• RED: 2 focused component assertions failed because Settings results rendered under Commands.
• RED E2E: the fresh production build exposed Commands as the sole typed-result heading.
• GREEN: regular matches render under localized Commands while search-only matches retain their localized group; empty groups are omitted and ranked order is preserved within each group.
• Focused component tests passed (14/14), and the fresh-build browser test passed (1/1).
• Typecheck, focused ESLint, i18n checks, the new-code i18n ratchet, and git diff --check passed.
• The isolated local and Tailscale Settings URLs returned HTTP 200 and served the updated module; the main Kandev process on :9998 remained untouched.
• No separate mobile E2E was needed because the same command-list component renders at every viewport and no touch, overlay, navigation, or scrolling behavior changed.
