Task: Wire Settings Validation Errors to Footer Display

Priority: Low Effort: 1-2 hours Files: src/ui/screens/settings/mod.rs

Context

Settings validation errors are currently swallowed:

// TODO: show error in footer

When a user enters invalid config (bad URL, empty required field, etc.), the error is lost.

Requirements

  1. Error state — Add an error_message: Option<String> field to SettingsScreen
  2. Timeout — Auto-clear the error after ~5 seconds or on next valid input
  3. Display — Show the error in the footer area with a distinct color (red/orange)
  4. Integration — Hook into the existing validation paths that currently log or ignore errors

Design Notes

  • The footer already renders keybind hints — the error should appear above or replace them temporarily
  • Use palette.compaction (red-ish) for error text
  • Consider a Cell<Instant> for tracking when to auto-clear

Acceptance Criteria

  • Invalid settings input shows a visible error in the footer
  • Error clears automatically after timeout or on next action
  • Error text is readable and styled distinctly from normal UI
  • No regressions in existing settings navigation
