 | `githubTrackingEnabledByDefault` | `boolean` | `false` | Project-level default for enabling issue tracking on ordinary new tasks. When this is false, the Quick Entry GitHub toggle is disabled until tracking is enabled in Settings. Imported GitHub issues still follow this default unless `githubLinkImportedIssuesToTracking` is enabled. |
 | `sessionAdvisorEnabledByDefault` | `boolean` | `false` | Project-level default for the session advisor (LLM overseer agent that reviews live executor transcripts). Off by default (opt-in). Quick Add exposes an eye toggle next to GitHub that inherits this default; each task can override via `sessionAdvisorEnabled`. Provider and model ids still come from workflow settings (`plannerOverseerAdvisorProvider` / `plannerOverseerAdvisorModelId`). Dashboard location: **Settings → Project → General → Session advisor (overseer agent)**. |
 | `githubLinkImportedIssuesToTracking` | `boolean` | `false` | Project-scoped, import-only option. When enabled, GitHub issue imports from the dashboard, CLI, and extension tools persist `githubTracking: { enabled: true }` so Fusion adopts the imported source issue as the tracking issue without turning tracking on for ordinary new tasks. Duplicate/skipped imports do not create tasks or tracking metadata. |
-| `githubImportAutoTranslate` | `boolean` | `false` | Project-scoped, import-only option. When enabled, the Import Tasks panel automatically translates foreign-language GitHub/GitLab issue titles and bodies into `importTranslateTargetLocale` and shows the translation by default (the original text stays one toggle away). Off by default so all-English projects never pay for a per-issue AI call. Dashboard location: **Settings → Project → General → GitHub Tracking**. |

When enabled, the Import Tasks panel automatically translates foreign-language GitHub/GitLab issue titles and bodies into `importTranslateTargetLocale` and shows the translation by default (the original text stays one toggle away).

Dashboard location: **Settings → Project → General → GitHub Tracking**. |
 | `importTranslateTargetLocale` | `Locale` | `undefined` | Target language for `githubImportAutoTranslate`. One of `SUPPORTED_LOCALES`. When unset, import translation follows the dashboard's own `language` setting. Dashboard location: **Settings → Project → General → GitHub Tracking**. |
 | `githubTrackingDefaultRepo` | `string` | `undefined` | Project default issue-tracking repo (`owner/repo`) used before global fallback for tracked task creation (precedence: task override → project default → global default). In Settings UI this is a detected-remote dropdown with a Custom fallback for manual entry. This key is dual-scope: project saves go through `PUT /api/settings` (Settings → General → GitHub Tracking) while global saves go through `PUT /api/settings/global` (Settings → Global General). |
 | `gitlabEnabled` | `boolean` | `undefined` (effective global fallback, then `true`) | Project GitLab integration enable switch. Explicit `false` disables outbound GitLab API imports, completion comments, close/reopen, source closed-at backfill, and tracking refresh side effects for this project without deleting saved URL/token fields. Dashboard location: **Settings → Project → General → GitLab Configuration** and **Settings → Project → Merge → GitLab Authentication** disclosure headers. |
