Operator-correct: the REVIBE'd FVS Settings module is the substrate pattern ("everything is a card"). That works inside FVS because every surface there IS a card constellation. Oscar is different — settings should look like settings, not like a card grid. Three normal-app patterns to choose from below.
Your name and role. Appended to AI prompts so Oscar knows who you are.
The local Ollama instance + Cloudflare tunnel. Configure which model to use.
Theme, density, font.

| Pattern | Best for | Forest Desk fit | Mobile | Fits Oscar's existing chrome? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. Sidebar nav + main panel | Many settings sections. Operator scans a left rail, edits on the right. | ✓ Cream paper sidebar + white main panel works naturally. | Sidebar collapses to top dropdown or accordion. | Oscar already has a left rail (the sidebar). A SECOND rail inside /settings = duplication. Need to decide: replace the main sidebar while in /settings, OR put the section nav at the top. |
| B. Single page + anchors | Settings operators use occasionally. They scroll, find the section, change one thing, leave. | ✓ Forest Desk naturally scrolls. Anchor chips at top feel native. | Anchor bar collapses; sections stack vertically. Works on phones. | Doesn't need a second rail. Works inside the existing main column. Cleanest fit. |
| C. Drawer overlay | Settings used without leaving the page. The drawer covers the current view. | ✗ Forest Desk's cream paper bg becomes "underneath" the drawer. Loses the warm feel. | Drawer becomes full-screen modal. Loses the layered feel. | Conflict: Oscar's existing layout is full-page routing. Drawer would be a new pattern. |
