-    The parallelism profile is protocol-aware: under ``ftps`` the validated
-    FTPS profile (file-level parallelism with pget-n low) is derived from the
-    protocol at apply-time, overriding the persisted SFTP-tuned values. This
-    closes the migration gap for upgraders and hand-edited configs that switch
-    to FTPS without retuning. Under ``sftp`` the persisted values pass through

+    Parallelism comes from the persisted Connections settings for both
+    protocols. FTPS previously overrode these with a fixed profile derived at
+    apply-time, which silently ignored the user's Connections settings (the
+    Settings UI showed values that were never applied); that override has been
