What
At start-up, user settings can be read from the storage backend and loaded into the settings store before the settings file is read from disk, logging whether it seeded, skipped because the file had already been read, or fell back. It runs only when the session pins settings to the backend; otherwise the ordinary file read serves, so behaviour is unchanged.
Details
The running seeder's backend logic was moved into the same shared helper.
Which internal flag pins the backend-settings mode is not identified in the build.
Evidence
settingsPrime: user settings already read before start-up; seed skipped
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
