What
Settings validation can now mark a problem as informational or as fatal at startup. Informational ones show up in /status but no longer pad out the "Invalid settings" list or the invalid-entries dialog; fatal ones are logged at error level.
Details
Validation callbacks flag an issue as status-only or startup-fatal; status-only issues are collected separately as status notices.
The invalid-entries dialog and the "Invalid settings" list now contain only real validation failures.
