App preferences were spread across six flat plain-text files (settings.txt,
recent.txt, recent_limit.txt, statusbar.txt, ribbon.txt, plot.txt), each with a
bespoke line parser and no grouping. Replace them with a single grouped JSON,
serialized via serde (enabling the derive feature; serde_json was already a
dependency).
- New app/config.rs: AppConfig { settings, recent, statusbar, ribbon, plot } →
<config>/settings.json (pretty JSON), load()/save().
- Make UserSettings, StatusBarConfig/StatusPill, CollapseMode and
PlotDialogState serde-derived; #[serde(skip)] marks the plot dialog's runtime
fields so only print preferences persist. Their bespoke .txt load/save is
removed.
- App gains current_config/apply_config/save_config: one AppConfig::load at
startup distributes into live state; every settings-change site
(persist_settings_if_changed, recent add/remove/limit, status-bar pill
toggle, ribbon density, plot commit) routes through save_config, which diffs
against the last write to avoid thrashing.
- Clean start: the old flat files are ignored (no migration). ocad.pgp stays a
separate hand-editable file.

The status bar showed all 17 pills out of the box. Hide the informational /
niche ones by default so the bar stays uncluttered — Coordinates, Show
Lineweight, Dynamic Input, Model/Paper Space, Drawing Units, Show
Transparency, Selection Cycling and Viewport Count. The user turns any of them
back on from the customization (gear) menu, which persists to statusbar.txt.
The main drafting toggles (Ortho, Polar, Otrack, Osnap, …) stay visible.
An existing statusbar.txt (even empty = user showed everything) is
authoritative; only a fresh install with no config gets the new defaults.

Ribbon:
- A ▾ selector at the right of the tab row picks the tool-panel density —
Auto (size to window), Full, Compact, or Collapsed. The choice is persisted.
It hides itself when the tool row is already tight, giving the cramped tab
row its space back.
Start page:
- The Recent Documents card is restyled to match the Supporters card
(rounded corners, 20px padding, matching title + colours).
- Its scrollbar no longer sits on top of the row ✕ remove buttons (a gutter
is reserved).
- A footer control sets how many recent files to keep: [-] an editable count
[+] with the max shown. Typing applies on Enter; an over-max entry snaps to
the max. The limit is persisted and enforced on load and on every open.
- The "Support on Patreon" heart is now the SVG icon instead of a font glyph.
Config:
- Add a shared `config::config_dir()` helper; the recent-files and status-bar
stores now go through it instead of each re-deriving the path. New minus.svg
icon for the stepper.

Continue tidying the flat ui/ root:
- ui/statusbar/: statusbar.rs becomes statusbar/mod.rs (its
crate::ui::statusbar::* paths are preserved) and absorbs
statusbar_config.rs + statusbar_menu.rs.
- ui/window/: the standalone manager/dialog windows move here —
about, layout_manager, page_setup, plugin_manager, shortcuts,
layers, update_notice, open_progress. The crate::ui::LayerPanel
re-export is repointed so callers are unchanged.
Call sites repointed to the new paths; no compat re-exports beyond the
existing LayerPanel one. ui/ root drops from 21 to 10 flat files with
five subdirs (ribbon, style, popup, statusbar, window).
