📄 Description

What's changed

Adds opt-in saving of response body and headers alongside REST history entries, with an inline preview modal to revisit them without re-sending the request.

New features

Save response in history — a new toggle in Settings captures the response body and headers at execution time for every REST request
Response preview modal — each history card shows an eye icon (when saved data exists) that opens a modal displaying the status code, headers, and pretty-printed body
Configurable limits — two new settings control the behaviour:
- Max history entries (default: 50, max: 500)
- Max response size per entry in KB (default: 100 KB) — responses larger than this are silently skipped to avoid bloat

Files changed

File	Change
`history/rest/ResponsePreview.vue`	New modal component — renders status, headers, and body
`history/rest/Card.vue`	Adds eye-icon button that emits `show-response` when saved data exists
`history/Personal.vue`	Mounts the preview modal and wires up the `show-response` handler
`newstore/history.ts`	Extends `RESTHistoryEntry` with `responseBody` / `responseHeaders`; populates them based on settings
`newstore/settings.ts`	Adds `SAVE_RESPONSE_IN_HISTORY`, `MAX_HISTORY_COUNT`, `MAX_HISTORY_ENTRY_SIZE_KB`
`pages/settings.vue`	New History section in Settings UI with toggle and number inputs
`locales/en.json`	New i18n strings for all added UI

Notes

The feature is opt-in — disabled by default, no behaviour change for existing users
Responses exceeding the configured size limit are silently skipped to prevent storage bloat
No migration needed; new fields on RESTHistoryEntry are optional

Summary by cubic

Adds opt-in saving of REST responses to history with a modal preview so you can revisit status, headers, and body without re-sending. Off by default; no change for existing users.

New Features
- Settings toggle to save response body and headers in history.
- Preview saved responses from history cards (status, headers, prettified body).
- Limits: max history entries (default 50, max 500) and per-entry response size (default 100 KB). Larger responses are skipped.
