+- Keyboard retry restores focus to the description field on success or Retry on repeated failure.
+- Saving announces progress and disables fields/submission while in flight; failed saves retain edits and allow retry without reloading.
+- Storybook covers loading, load errors, successful/repeated retry, save failure/retry, saving/disabled states, mobile retry and dark-theme save recovery.

+## Settings recovery
+
+Do not show editable defaults until Settings has loaded successfully. A failed
+load offers a keyboard-accessible retry and announces the error. After retry,
+focus moves to the first form field on success or back to Retry on failure.
+Saving announces progress and temporarily disables the form to prevent duplicate
+submissions and edits being overwritten by the save response. A failed save
+keeps entered values available for correction or retry.
