**Settings** has three pages — **General**, **Cron** and **Vanity widget**. The General page is organised into tabs. The defaults are sensible; tune them as you scale.

## General

The **General** tab itself holds API timeouts and the **task retry policy** (max attempts, back‑off minutes, batch size per cron run, finished‑task retention):

## Cron

The **Cron** page picks the cron mode (WHMCS vs Standalone), shows the crontab line to install, and lists every scheduled task with its enable/interval/last‑run/status, plus concurrency limits.
