# 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:
```rust
// 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
