User story

As an operator, I want to press ⌘K and type a setting name (e.g. "caveman", "container_image"), so that I can jump to it without scrolling 30+ settings across 10+ routes.

Context

After SU-1…SU-5 the settings surface has a clean grouped side-nav, but discovery of individual fields still requires knowing where they live. Linear, Stripe, Tailscale, VSCode all use a search palette as the dominant access pattern.

Acceptance criteria

Manifest

New apps/web/src/lib/settings-manifest.ts — static array of { id, label, description?, route, anchor?, group } covering every settings field/section.
One entry per addressable setting (not per route — granular).
Manifest hand-maintained; lint rule (or test) verifies every data-testid="settings-*" field has a manifest entry, to catch drift.

Palette UI

New apps/web/src/components/settings-search.tsx — Base UI dialog or popover, opens on ⌘K (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere).
Entry point: search input in the global top bar (replaces nothing — additive). Clicking opens the palette; ⌘K shortcut works anywhere.
Fuzzy match on label + description.
Selecting a result navigates to route, then on mount scrolls anchor (e.g. #caveman-mode) into view and focuses the field.
Keyboard: ↑/↓ to move, Enter to pick, Esc to close.

A11y

Dialog has role="dialog" + aria-modal + focus trap + focus return (use Base UI primitive — see <Drawer> baseline in apps/web/CLAUDE.md).
Result list role="listbox", items role="option" with aria-selected.

Tests

Cmd/Ctrl+K opens palette globally.
Typing filters; arrow keys move; Enter navigates.
Manifest lint catches an orphan data-testid="settings-foo" field with no entry.

Out of scope

Recently-used / pinned settings — future.
Search across non-settings surfaces — future.
