  * Ability to minimize settings panels to only show headers in the Admin and Profile interfaces for easy navigation
  * Styled settings panel headers with distinct theme accent colors for visual distinction
  * Settings panels are collapsed by default when opening the Admin and Profile pages
+ * Show checked-by-default Mastodon publishing on New Entry only for configured users
  ### Fixed
  * Fixed element ID conflict on the Admin page so Available Themes load correctly
  * Positioned new-entry tag checkboxes after their label text
  * Kept new-entry tag checkboxes immediately left of their labels at all viewport sizes
  * Prevented the new-entry form grid from placing tag checkboxes above their labels
+ * Kept unconfigured New Entry Mastodon publishing controls hidden

 ### Assistant outcome
 Fixed the actual layout conflict: `.form-section label` uses a grid layout whose selector overrode the tag label's flex layout. Added the more specific `.form-section label.tag-checkbox` inline-flex rule and reset its checkbox margin, keeping each checkbox directly left of its tag text. The focused API test module passed with 35 tests and `git diff --check` passed.
+
+### User
+Only show the Mastodon publishing on new page if the user has Mastodon posting configured. Then default the checkbox to yes
+
+### Assistant outcome
+Added a safe `configured` status to the authenticated Mastodon configuration response. New Entry now hides its Mastodon publishing section unless the current user has both an instance and access token configured; when shown, its checkbox defaults to checked. Link creation accepts `post_to_mastodon`, allowing an unchecked control to skip Mastodon while preserving dispatch of other plugins. Added posting and configuration regression coverage.
+
+### User
+In the currently running contaier the user olaf has no mastodon configured but the mastodon checkbox is still visible
+
+### Assistant outcome
+Found that `.form-section { display: grid; }` appeared later in the stylesheet than `.hidden { display: none; }`, overriding the initial hidden state of the Mastodon fieldset. Added `.form-section.hidden { display: none; }`, so the publishing control stays hidden until the authenticated configuration check explicitly reveals it.
