## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Ensure account settings are fully preserved through save/load,
including automatic update and peer exposure preferences.

* **Tests**
* Added coverage to verify account settings remain unchanged after
database persistence and retrieval (skipped on Windows due to SQLite
limitations).
* Introduced deterministic test-data population helpers to reliably set
struct fields for deeper settings verification.
