Greptile Summary

This PR deletes the standalone SettingsPanel right-side panel and moves the appearance/theme toggle control into the user avatar dropdown popover, making theme switching accessible in-context for both authenticated users and the default-user (auth-disabled) flow. A new AppearanceThemeControl segmented control replaces the previous Select-based theme picker, and a Documentation button with an external-link indicator replaces the old Settings button in the AppBar.

• Theme control is now embedded directly in both UserDropdownContent and AuthDisabledContent popovers, with role="radiogroup" / role="radio" ARIA markup; theme application continues to work via the existing useThemeEffect hook in providers.tsx
• SettingsPanel is removed from MainLayout rendering and its import is dropped; the file itself (SettingsPanel.tsx) and its spec remain on disk as orphaned dead code
• RightPanelType in types.ts still includes 'settings' which is now an unreachable dead value
• Tests are updated throughout to reflect the new "open documentation" button label and radiogroup presence; the settings-panel open test is correctly removed
• The OpenExternal icon is added to the icon adapter for the new Documentation button

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge; all remaining findings are minor cleanup items (P2) that do not affect runtime behaviour.

The core functionality is correctly migrated — theme control was already wired to providers.tsx which reads from the layout store and applies CSS classes to the document. Tests are updated. The two remaining items (stale RightPanelType union member, orphaned SettingsPanel files) are non-blocking style/cleanup issues.

frontends/ui/src/features/layout/types.ts (stale 'settings' in RightPanelType) and the undeleted SettingsPanel.tsx / SettingsPanel.spec.tsx files.
