Description

Historically backend code insights used to be stored in a global setting array called insights. This should be deprecated and references in the code should be removed / retired.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the codebase for all references to the old `insights` global setting. Understand where it is used and how to deprecate or remove those references without breaking existing functionality. Look for related tests and update them accordingly.
