Set policyHelpers per platform; WSL falls back to the linux entry, then to the single policyHelper.

What

Administrators can now set a different policy helper executable per platform. policyHelpers is an object keyed by macos, linux, windows and wsl; the entry matching the current platform wins over the existing single policyHelper, and a platform with no entry falls back to policyHelper. A wsl machine with no wsl entry tries the linux entry first.

Details
  • Like policyHelper, policyHelpers is honored only when it arrives from an admin-controlled policy source, not from user or project settings.
  • Validation is strict: a malformed policyHelpers from an OS-admin policy source is fatal at startup.
  • If policyHelpers is configured but has no entry for the current platform and no policyHelper is set, a warning is logged and no helper runs.
Evidence

Per-OS variant of policyHelper, keyed by platform: macos, linux, windows, wsl.

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