Fix is coming, we will probably just refine the UI for this a bit before merging:

This commit adds a way to remove/unlink the Support type for a category (discou…rse-solved). Previously this was done by checking/unchecking a box for `enable_accepted_answers`, but we want to make this more specific. In future we will also add ways to _add_ category types to an existing category, but for now the Settings tab is still used for this. c.f. https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/398439 <img width="1054" height="782" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0adda402-b5a1-4af1-886e-b1c0e32b06a5" /> <img width="1148" height="300" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d74bbb34-9e4e-49a7-9f5d-8d77eed26bba" />
