+category: fix
+dev: resolveSettingsSectionOptionLabel now derives the Global-group prefix for storage-less (scope: undefined) sections in SettingsModal.tsx (FN-7552).

+FNXC:SettingsNavigation 2026-07-04-00:00:
+The mobile Settings section picker (`<select>` on narrow viewports) prefixes every
+section option with its owning group (`Global — `/`Project — `) so entries are
+unambiguous when labels collide across scopes (e.g. "MCP Servers" exists in both
+Global and Project). The Authentication section is intentionally `scope: undefined`
+(it is not backed by settings storage — see SETTINGS_SECTIONS), but it still lives
+under the Global group header in SETTINGS_SECTIONS, so its mobile option rendered as
+bare "Authentication" instead of "Global — Authentication", inconsistent with its
+Global-group siblings (FN-7552). SETTINGS_SECTION_GROUP_LABEL_BY_ID maps every
+non-header section id to the label of the most recent group-header row preceding it
+in SETTINGS_SECTIONS, so resolveSettingsSectionOptionLabel can fall back to a
+group-derived "Global — " prefix for storage-less sections that belong to the Global
+group — without changing behavior for any section that already declares a scope
+(Runtimes entries keep their existing scope:"global" path) or for undefined-scope
+group-header rows themselves (which are never rendered as selectable options).
