Task: Design the engine settings and prototype their screen
Table of Contents
This page documents a task in the See and change everything a report runs story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.
1. Goal
Engine settings become a named configuration that reports bind, held as a central row with five parts. This task records the design in the story and draws the screen as a prototype that fits beside the other named configurations.
2. Status

3. Acceptance
- The story holds the engine settings design: the five groups, the central row and the reasons.
- A prototype draws the engine settings as a named configuration beside pricing engines, with the five groups and the reports that share it.
- The owner signs off the prototype before any model or screen is built.
4. Plan
(Implementation strategy. Written when work starts; key decisions
are distilled into the parent story's * Decisions at close, but the
plan itself stays — it is the historical record of what we did.)
5. Measurements
Every number this task claims about a tree, with the command that produced it
and the commit it was measured at. A number without both is not a measurement,
because a clean-up record describes a tree and trunk moves under a branch: a
consumer count, a gate's component count and a suite's size all change with no
code changing, and the reader of a bare number cannot tell which tree it came
from. Where the raw output matters, put it in an evidence/ file beside the
task and name that file in the Command column.

10. Result
The engine settings design is in the story: the measurements, 14 findings, the comparison with the other named configurations, the central row with three parts holding the 15 documented engine settings, the documentation system, and the open questions. The prototype `see-the-engine-settings-a-party-holds` draws the list and the page with editing in place. Both are in PR #3619. The owner's sign-off on the prototype is the gate before any model or screen is built.
