Fardriver beeps when throttle twists and brakes active -- shouldn't?

So, going through my setup with a Fardriver controller and something...odd is happening now.

First, everything is operating normally afaik. No error codes at startup, spins on throttle as expected, regen brakes just fine, display shows 1/2/3 gearing and even the brake symbol when brakes are active. All seems in order.

However, if I have the throttle twisted and apply the brakes, the motor spins down and when it reaches zero, the FD starts a long, continuous beep until I let go of the throttle or brake. In the same fashion, if the bike is in a ready state with no interactions, I pull the brake, and then twist the throttle, the FD beeps as before until I release one.

I understand this is probably some safety/awareness feature along the lines of "I know you're twisting to go, but you can't go because the brakes-are-on/seat-is-up/bikes-in-park/kick-stand-is-down/charger-is-plugged-in/etc" type alarm.

I don't want this beep warning, and I think I somehow turned it on so hope I can turn it off.

I do not believe it was doing this prior to me tweaking settings while tuning, and I have no clue what setting I changed to make it do this. It's also possible that this is a normal behavior and I just hadn't noticed it till now, but I very much feels like I would have since I'd been playing around with regen/variable-regen/type behaviors for the last 30m or so.
 
Can you post screenshots of all of the settings pages? Perhaps someone might recognize a setting.

(this will also give you a backup of all your settings in case you have to reset or change something later or experiment, and have a go-back point).
