Failed to update setting: invalid composer density '{value}'

Error message

Failed to update setting: invalid composer density '{value}'. Expected: compact, comfortable, spacious.

What it means

Settings update validation for the composer density key: the normalized value is not compact, comfortable, or spacious. Pure presentation setting; the guard keeps the density string canonical for downstream layout math.
