Research direction

Reproduce the bug from the challenge edit page by selecting Water, clicking Finish, and reopening Settings; the category returns to Other. Start by tracing the category field and its save/navigation handling in the frontend, then verify that reopening the page preserves the selected category and does not reset it.
