I like just using understandable language, and maybe tooltips for more detail.
No assumptions is the best route because of all the wildly varying ways people
use

But if you can come up with a suitable scheme and a patch (it's all in
src/hid/ps.c) I'm open to convincing.
The current scheme, if I understand it, works like

It would be less confusing to have a layer name list as in your
drawing, with per layer option to mirror or not. Then also, if you
were still in the mood for GUI coding, offer use cases as check
boxes that modify the state of the per layer check boxes, (while
also showing that state). And

Right. The option name is mirror and the options are as above.

Why does auto-mirror mean to mirror the bottom? I just got very close
to doing an iron transfer pcb with the sides reversed:
if (automirror
((idx = 0 group == GetLayerGroupNumberByNumber (max_layer))
|| (idx 0 SL_SIDE (idx) == SL_BOTTOM_SIDE)))

auto-mirror is as-seen. The assumption is that you're using the
prints for visual inspection.
Was the expectation to use both mirror AND automirror??
Yes. If you
Maybe the dialog should be task-oriented instead of setting-oriented.
If I want to do toner transfer, then I want the top reversed and the
bottom not, but I still want both assembly diagrams to be normal for
top and reversed for bottom.
