Description

Redesigns the General and Proxy panes in Preferences into labelled sections with consistent spacing.

  1. General is grouped as Certificates / Cookies & Authorization / Timing / Default Location.
  2. Proxy as Connection / Server / Authentication / Bypass.

Problem

Both panes were flat columns of checkboxes and label/input rows with no grouping and in-consistent Tailwind spacing, so unrelated settings sat at the same visual weight and gaps between items were inconsistent (the untitled Authentication group sat 23px lower than titled ones).

One UX defects was also there:

  • Validation messages could never render. Every error was gated on formik.touched., but no input had an onBlur handler and the pane never submits, so touched stayed empty for the component's whole life. "Request Timeout must be equal or greater than 0", "Save Delay must be at least 500ms" and "Specify port between 1 and 65535" were unreachable strings.

Fix

  • New SettingsLayout primitives; both panes rebuilt as groups with consistent spacing - 16px between sections, 12px between items.
  • Mode and Protocol now use ui/SegmentedControl.
  • CA certificate picker is now a readonly field plus a Select File button (matching the Default Location row), with a clear button when a certificate is set.
  • Added onBlur and dropped the touched gates so validation messages render. removed tabIndex="-1" from the CA controls.
  • Added a common File upload input component and reused in General settings.

Formik schemas, initial values, and the save/debounce logic are untouched. nothing changes about what gets persisted.

Walkthrough

The PR adds shared settings layout components and uses them to redesign the General and Proxy preference forms. It updates certificate, timing, location, proxy, authentication, bypass, and PAC controls with new validation, state handling, and styling.

Changes

Preferences redesign

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared settings components
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Preferences/SettingsLayout/...
Adds reusable SettingsGroup, SettingsField, and CheckboxSetting components with styled wrappers and public exports.
General preferences form
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Preferences/General/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/Preferences/General/StyledWrapper.js
Groups certificate, authorization, timing, and default-location settings. Adds conditional certificate controls, validation display, file selection, and updated form layouts.
Proxy preferences form
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Preferences/ProxySettings/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/Preferences/ProxySettings/StyledWrapper.js
Adds segmented proxy controls, grouped fields, centralized mode handling, password visibility controls, PAC file or URL handling, validation, and cache refresh styling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 22fa1

The redesign improves preference organization and validation visibility, but a few localized issues remain: invalid disabled credentials can prevent proxy changes from saving, the PAC URL field is not properly named for assistive technology, and some proxy section headings are inconsistent. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded issues.

Settings align in rows of light,
Certificates fit just right.

Remove the duplicate System Proxy heading.

SettingsGroup renders a System Proxy heading, and SystemProxy also renders its own System Proxy heading. When this mode is selected, the UI shows two headings. Remove the outer title or render SystemProxy without its internal heading in this context.

Add the Authentication section title.

This SettingsGroup has no title, unlike the other proxy sections. The checkbox label does not provide a consistent section heading. Set the title to Authentication.

241-308: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not let disabled authentication fields block saves.

If a user enters an overlong username or password and then disables authentication, the fields become disabled but their invalid values remain in Formik state. The schema still validates them, so formik.isValid remains false and unrelated proxy changes cannot auto-save. Make the credential rules conditional on config.auth.disabled, or clear or ignore these errors when authentication is disabled.

Give the PAC URL input an accessible name.

SettingsField renders no <label> when label is omitted. In URL mode, #pac.source has neither an associated label nor an aria-label. Add a real label with htmlFor="pac.source" or add an accessible name directly to the input.
