Research direction

Start by tracing how configuration options are defined in the Backend and how the settings are populated in the Frontend. Define which simple switches can be returned with their possible values, then verify that the selected options are rendered and remain configurable without adding frontend-specific definitions.

Description

Instead of hardconding the config options in the Frontend, the Backend returns a list of configuration options and the possible values, so that the Backend can dynamically populate the settings and make the frontend less convoluted - we wouldn't be able to make this for all options, but at least many simple configuration switches could be added without touching the Frontend
