Warnings when policy helper settings are nested in the wrong place

Managed Settings not in their notes

Settings validation now warns when policy helper keys are nested where nothing reads them.

policyHelpers
What

Settings validation now flags helper-shaped and payload-shaped keys that were put in a slot that does not read them, and each warning says the nested config will not apply from there.

Details
  • Covers cases like defaultSettings placed on the singular policyHelper key, per-OS keys placed inside a single entry, and claudeMd placed on the helper key.
  • These are status warnings only; they do not block startup.
Evidence

"policyHelper" and "policyHelpers" are TOP-LEVEL settings keys; nothing nests inside the singular entry. The nested config will NOT apply from here.

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