Output style change now requires localSettings and warns on redundant switch

Switching output style in /config is now safer for shared sessions and won't let you reselect the current style

Switching output style in /config is now safer for shared sessions and won't let you reselect the current style

What

The output-style picker in the /config settings panel now behaves more carefully when changing styles:

  • If the session might not belong to its original owner, it checks that a requested custom style is actually valid before allowing the switch.
  • If you pick the style that's already active, it now just tells you so instead of doing anything.
  • If the capability needed to save the change locally (localSettings) isn't available, it now errors out clearly before trying to save, rather than failing partway through.
Why

These changes prevent confusing failures: a shared or non-owner session can't be pointed at an invalid style, picking your current style no longer does pointless work, and a missing save capability is caught up front instead of causing a silent or partial failure.
