The WithLock convention is used in the codebase to ensure that functions interacting with a class's internal mutex are called while holding the appropriate lock. This improves code clarity, enforces the proper locking contract, and reduces the risk of misuse.

• Identify methods in the QuerySettingsManager class that interact with its internal mutex.
• Refactor these methods to adopt the WithLock parameter convention.
• Update calling code to ensure it provides the necessary lock-holding resource when calling these methods.

Benefits:

• Improves code clarity and safety.
• Aligns CurOp with established best practices for mutex usage.
