   (no more System section). Old DB records with a `lock_config` key are simply ignored now,
   same as any other removed key. Moved the now-fully-orphaned
   `ae_comp__event_settings_pres_mgmt_form.svelte` to trash in the same pass (Step 5).
+- [x] **Location column ignored the admin's "Hide Location" setting (2026-06-16)** — same
+  bug pattern as the POC column fix earlier, just missed for Location. The Session Search
+  results table's Location column prop only ever read the local-only, never-synced
+  `hide__session_li_location_field` — it never looked at the admin-synced
+  `hide__session_location` (Config page → Session Field Visibility → Hide Location) at all.
+  So the column always showed regardless of that setting or the user's permission level,
+  exactly as reported. Fixed in `pres_mgmt/+page.svelte`:
+  `hide__session_location || hide__session_li_location_field`. The two other usages of this
+  component (`locations/ae_comp__event_location_obj_li.svelte`,
+  `location/[event_location_id]/+page.svelte`) already hardcode `hide__session_location={true}`
+  — correct, since you're already on that location's own page. Worth auditing the other
+  per-event hide__* fields for the same "admin field exists but the list/table prop
+  computation never reads it" gap if more reports come in.
