Failed to update setting: invalid transcript spacing '{value

Error message

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

What it means

Settings update validation for the transcript spacing key: the normalized value is not one of compact, comfortable, spacious. Mirrors the composer-density guard; spacing drives transcript layout, so only canonical values are stored.
