# Empty settings dropdown

## TLDR

An empty dropdown renders at the bottom of the settings UI (screenshot in the issue). Either it should have content or it shouldn't render at all.

## Why it matters

An empty control looks broken and undermines trust in the rest of the dashboard — exactly the class of dogfooding paper cut currently prioritized for the MVP polish pass.
