refactor(settings): use window.__TAURI__ globals instead of ES module imports

Replace `import { invoke } from '@tauri-apps/api/core'` and
`import { listen } from '@tauri-apps/api/event'` with the window.__TAURI__
global pattern, consistent with api.js and library.js. Eliminates false
dependency cycle detected by roam (symbol name collisions between package
imports and local variables).

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Roam health identifies 1 CRITICAL dependency cycle spanning 8 symbols across 4 files:
+
+**Symbols in cycle:** api, SettingsService, settings, listen, applySectionData, loadSection, backgroundRefreshSection, loadLibraryData
+
+**Files involved:**
+- `app/frontend/js/api.js`
+- `app/frontend/js/services/settings.js`
+- `app/frontend/js/stores/library.js`
+- `app/frontend/js/utils/library-operations.js`
+
+**Roam's break suggestion:** Remove the `api -> settings` dependency (highest edge betweenness in cycle: 0.536).
+
+The cycle exists because `api.js` imports from `settings.js` and `settings.js` (or its consumers) imports from `api.js`. The fix likely involves one of:
+1. Extracting the settings dependency from api.js into a separate initialization path
+2. Using dependency injection or late binding for the settings reference in api.js
+3. Moving the shared dependency to a third module both can import
+
+This is the single highest-impact fix for the health score — cycles are weighted as CRITICAL issues and this one involves the two top bottleneck symbols (`api` betweenness 1509, `settings` betweenness 1271).
+
+Run `roam health` and inspect the cycle. Run `roam impact api` and `roam impact settings` to understand the blast radius.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 roam health reports 0 dependency cycles
+- [x] #2 All frontend tests pass
+- [x] #3 No behavioral changes — settings and API still function identically
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+The dependency cycle was a roam false positive caused by symbol name collisions. `settings.js` imported `invoke` from `@tauri-apps/api/core` and `listen` from `@tauri-apps/api/event`, but roam misresolved these to the local `invoke` variable in `api.js` and the local `listen` variable in `library.js`, creating phantom edges that formed the cycle.
+
+**Fix:** Changed `settings.js` from ES module imports (`import { invoke } from '@tauri-apps/api/core'`) to the `window.__TAURI__` global pattern, matching what `api.js` and `library.js` already use. This is both a consistency improvement and eliminates the false edges.
+
+**Result:** roam health reports 0 cycles, all 281 frontend tests pass, no behavioral changes.
