+/**
+ * `<SettingsCardHeader>` — v1.4.33 IW4 polish primitive.
+ *
+ * Every Settings card paints the same shape: a primary icon, a title,
+ * an optional status surface (badge / pill / inline switch), and an
+ * optional short description below the title. Before this primitive
+ * the codebase carried five different `flex flex-wrap items-start
+ * justify-between` permutations across `account-section.tsx`,
+ * `integrations-section.tsx`, `notification-status-card.tsx`,
+ * `telegram-card.tsx`, `ntfy-card.tsx`, `web-push-card.tsx`,
+ * `api-section.tsx`, and `advanced-section.tsx`. The audit's mechanical
+ * drift report (`.planning/round-v1433-audit-settings.md` §2.5) listed
+ * one card with `mb-4 flex items-center gap-2`, the next with
+ * `flex flex-col gap-3 sm:flex-row sm:justify-between`, another with
+ * `flex flex-wrap items-start justify-between`, etc.
+ *
+ * The primitive consolidates the contract:
+ *   - Icon left, title right of it (`gap-2` between them).
+ *   - Optional status slot lives top-right; on `<sm` it falls below the
+ *     title block so the action surface keeps its 44 px tap target.
+ *   - Description is muted text, sits below the title row.
+ *
+ * Call sites can still wire their own action surfaces inside the body
+ * of the card — the primitive only owns the *header* slice, not the
+ * footer or the form rows.
