feat: add spell check and auto correct settings - #206
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds persisted spell-check and auto-correct settings. The theme context loads and updates both values, the settings screen exposes controls, and the editor applies them to its ChangesWriting assistance settings
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new writing-assistance toggles can lose concurrent preference updates and can display a changed setting after saving fails, leaving user preferences incorrect or unsaved; the PR should not merge until persistence is made safe or the behavior is explicitly accepted and handled.

updateSettings and their catch blocks to handle persistence failures beyond

persisted setting values, or propagate the failure to the caller for display.
Apply the same behavior to both affected setters while preserving successful
local updates.

updates both writing-assistance fields together without reading and rewriting a
full Settings snapshot. Update setSpellCheckEnabled and setAutoCorrectEnabled to
call this command with the intended spell-check and auto-correct values, while
preserving their local state updates and dependency behavior; ensure unrelated
settings are not overwritten during concurrent updates.

Add accessible state to the On/Off controls.
Button only forwards props and adds no state semantics. Add aria-pressed or radio semantics to each option, and associate each group with an accessible label.

Make writing-assistance persistence atomic.
Each setter reads a complete Settings snapshot and then writes a modified copy. If setSpellCheckEnabled and setAutoCorrectEnabled overlap, the last write can restore stale values and lose the other update.
Add one Tauri command that updates both writing-assistance fields atomically. Use that command from both setters. This also prevents these setters from overwriting unrelated settings that changed after getSettings() resolved.

Report and recover from persistence failures.
The setters update local state before persistence. If updateSettings() fails, the UI shows a setting that was not saved and only writes an error to the console.
Show a user-facing error and restore the last persisted values, or return the failure to the caller for display. As per coding guidelines, “Implement error handling with user-friendly messages.”
