The documentation covers:

• Type definitions and schema setup in schemas/index.ts
• State management integration with ExtensionStateContext
• UI component implementation with type-safe Select components
• Translation requirements and structure
• Type safety considerations across the application

How to Test

1. Review the added documentation in cline_docs/settings.md

Hey @KJ7LNW, This doesn't seem to be applicable due to the docs folder being removed from the project.

Hey @KJ7LNW, This doesn't seem to be applicable due to the docs folder being removed from the project.

Where did the documentation specific to adding new settings go? Did it get lost?

Adding settings to roo code is extremely hard and requires ~12 changes for a single check box. That documentation was critical for AI success in creating new settings efficiently. (This pull request extended that document to include information about adding a drop down list with enumerations.)

Is there a new place for these types of documents that are reachable in the directory tree for AI use?

Hey @KJ7LNW, I think it would be best to create an issue to propose adding the docs folder back into the project.

This PR has up-to-date documentation so it would be a good candidate to create the docs folder again.

This PR fixes #4129 by restoring comprehensive documentation for settings implementation, including the new enum/compound settings guide.

The documentation provides critical guidance for both developers and AI assistants to successfully implement various types of settings in the application.

Actually something about the github state of this pull request is broken, so keep it closed. I will create a separate pull request.
