I found two settings which, although available in the Settings admin panel and in [site\_settings.yml](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/site_settings.yml), seem to be missing in `app.SiteSettings`:

```javascript
export default {
  name: 'my-plugin',
  initialize(container, app) {
    console.log(app.SiteSettings.tagging_enabled) // => true
    console.log(app.SiteSettings.max_tag_length) // => 20
    console.log(app.SiteSettings.allow_duplicate_topic_titles) // => undefined
    console.log(app.SiteSettings.min_trust_to_create_tag) // => undefined
  }
}

```

Only site settings with `client:true` are available in the JavaScript application, so that’s why the two settings are missing in your example.
