# Discover and retain personal controls

| Feature | Parent Epic | Delivery status | Status source | Owner | Approved for Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

## Description

Enable a user to learn the workplace controls, prevent movement controls from interfering with text/settings interaction, and retain mouse sensitivity across visits.

## User or operator problem

Users need discoverable controls that do not interfere with typing and settings, with sensitivity retained across visits.

## Expected value

Improves control discoverability and preserves a usable personal interaction setup.

## Scope

Includes the controls guide, movement suppression during text/settings input, mouse-sensitivity adjustment, persistence, and save-failure feedback.

### Exclusions

- Administrator access, account recovery, display-name editing, and unwired self-service logout are excluded.

## Acceptance outcomes

- [ ] A visible controls guide explains supported keyboard actions.
- [ ] Typing or using settings does not trigger movement actions.
- [ ] Mouse sensitivity can be adjusted and restored in a later session.
- [ ] Save failures are surfaced rather than silently discarded.

## Dependencies

- [3DARCH-FT-9 — Enterprise sign-in and session continuity](./3darch-ft-9.md)

## Risks

- Settings persistence failures can leave the displayed sensitivity different from the retained value.

## Human approval

Linas approved this Feature for documentation on 2026-09-02T10:40:43.220Z. It is **not Approved for Solution** and has no implementation approval.

## Delivery status evidence

The Feature was separately registered at `IN_BACKLOG` as an accepted catalogue boundary. This records backlog retention, not design or delivery progress.

- Event: Catalogue registration
- Actor and authority: Linas — Human project team member
- Reason: The Feature catalogue was accepted for governed documentation and retained in the backlog.
- [Status evidence](https://discord.com/channels/1518726359512387766/1543925247361814568/1544658325738885201)

## Architecture traceability

- Requirements: none derived.
- Readiness: Not started.

Architecture solution work must not begin until a separate human **Approved for Solution** decision is recorded.
