From home: resolved the open 'few other things' decision on the Desktop-Settings Dropdown Panel spec (docs/specs/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-spec.org). Craig's calls, 2026-07-19 — fold these into the spec, close the open decision, add the new controls to the controls table, then run spec-review (may flip DRAFT->READY).

ADD to the panel: (1) night-light / color temperature; (2) Do Not Disturb / notifications (dunst); (3) lock / suspend quick actions; (4) power profile (performance/balanced/saver); (5) scenes/profiles — one control that flips several toggles at once (Focus, Presentation, Battery-saver, Night). Scenes are the payoff of consolidating everything in one panel.

OUT, with reasons to record: volume / master-mute stays with the audio panel (this panel does not mirror it); theme light/dark goes to the separate theme-studio task, not here.

FORMAT PICKERS PULLED OUT -> their own future sibling spec. Time/date/weather format is out of THIS panel. Rationale: display-format settings are stored by many programs, so the real design problem is a single source of truth — where the canonical time/date/weather format lives and how every consumer (clock module, weather chip, etc.) reads it without drift. Track a future sibling spec stub in archsetup docs/specs for it (time/date/weather format single-source-of-truth); Craig is thinking it through separately, not started.

STILL OPEN (as the spec already flags): wallpaper manager is confirmed in scope, but row-that-opens-a-sub-view vs its own sub-spec is undecided — resolve at spec-review.

Full reconciliation + the archsetup panel-pattern review that informed this lives in home docs/design/2026-07-19-desktop-settings-module-brainstorm.org. Ownership model (Craig): home drives the build (dotfiles settings/), archsetup keeps the canonical spec.
