 // Shared settings list used by both the device settings UI and the web settings API.
-// Each entry has a key (for JSON API) and category (for grouping).
+//
-// ACTION-type entries and entries without a key are device-only.
+// Fields that drive UI behaviour:
+//   category    — which tab the setting appears under (STR_CAT_DISPLAY, STR_CAT_READER, …).
+//                 Entries with STR_NONE_OPT or web-only categories are skipped by the device UI.
+//   subcategory — optional section heading within a tab.  Items remain in their defined order;
+//                 no reordering or grouping occurs.  When an item's subcategory differs from the
+//                 previous item's, SettingsActivity::onEnter() automatically inserts a separator
+//                 row before it.  Add with .withSubcategory(StrId::STR_MY_SECTION).
+//                 Items without a subcategory (STR_NONE_OPT) never trigger a separator.
+//   key         — JSON property name used by the web settings API (nullptr = device-only).
