Does Postorius already have a preferred UI pattern (like badges or muted text) 
to show inherited versus overridden values, or should I propose a new visual 
indicator for this in my UI mockups?

That makes complete sense. I will drop the confirmation check idea and focus 
strictly on improving the visibility and in-app documentation of these settings.

I'll make sure to outline this rendering logic clearly in my proposal.

I am currently working on a rough UI sketch to address the "effective value" 
problem and will share a link to my draft proposal doc soon. 

Thanks again for your time!
