Why is the "sharpen" module automatically applied?

Dear all,

when viewing/editing an image in darktable’s darkroom for the first time, several modules are automatically applied, including the ‘sharpen’ module, which, according to the user manual, is not recommended with the scene-referred workflow (“modules to avoid”).

Why is ‘sharpen’ automatically applied and how can I prevent this? I double- and triple-checked that I do not have a ‘sharpen’ preset that might be auto-applied.

The screenshot shows the history stack after opening the image for the first time in darkroom view.

My darktable version is 3.6.0.

Thanks for your help!

It’s in the preferences > processing settings:
https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/preferences-settings/processing/

It is mainly there for cameras with an AA filter.
