What
The remote announcement schema gained an accentBar boolean, so a server-sent announcement can render without the coloured accent bar.
Details
accentBar: boolean defaults to true in the schema- the announcement slot exposes
showAccentBar, which treats anything other than an explicit false as true - surrounding chrome draws or omits the bar based on that value
- content comes from remote announcement config, so what you see depends on what the server sends; absent a value the bar is drawn
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
