📄 Description

Summary

I compared the "Open WebUI as an app", essentials and sharing pages with the frontend and the config defaults.

Installed app page: there is no push service or service worker. What exists is browser notifications for finished responses, channel messages and calendar reminders, turned on per user in Settings > Notifications and shown only while the page is open, plus webhook Notification Targets when an admin enables user webhooks (and grants non-admin users the webhooks permission). EXTERNAL_PWA_MANIFEST_URL is fetched by the server, and without it the manifest name follows WEBUI_NAME.
Essentials: autocomplete is off by default (ENABLE_AUTOCOMPLETE_GENERATION), so it is no longer listed among the tasks that cost by default, and the :slim image defaults to PGVector rather than Chroma.
Sharing: a share link is private to the users and groups granted. Instance-wide and no-sign-in links need permissions that are off by default for non-admin users. The community upload button, the pending queue's Default User Role and the New Sign Ups switch are named by their admin settings; the first account's creation switches sign-ups off, and DEFAULT_USER_ROLE is a first-start value.

None.

I have reviewed the relevant documentation and matched the existing style.
This PR meets Open WebUI's contribution standards: it is accurate, relevant to users, narrowly scoped, maintainable, and not promotional content, advertising, lead generation, SEO placement, or a request to list a product, service, provider, integration, gateway, tool, or company primarily for visibility.
I understand that PRs that do not meet these standards may be closed without review and will not be merged. Repeated, low-quality, off-topic, promotional, or intentionally misleading submissions may result in the contributor being blocked from future participation in Open WebUI repositories.
