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.
