I think the disassembler checks should not be displayed by default,
with your change I can see all the time:

...        disassembler-four-args: [ on  ]
...      disassembler-init-styled: [ OFF ]


could you please squash something like below in? moving disassembler
checks out of sight and do manual detection

thanks,
jirka
