Added Settings Panel
Click the 
gear button (bottom-right of the calendar) to flip the card to the settings view.
| Control | Description |

| ↺ Reset button | Resets the format field to the default ([[%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%]]) |
| Placeholder list | Click any token to insert it at the current cursor position in the format field |
| Live preview | Shows how today’s date looks with the current format string |

✓ Apply (Enter) |
Save all settings to localStorage and return to the calendar |
✕ Cancel (Escape) |

You can now also add aliased Date wikilinks like:
[[2024-01-05|January 5th, 2024]][[Journal/2026/03-March/2026-03-26_Thu|March 26th, 2026]]
etc.
