What
Two new plugin error states appear: one for an update skipped because it would have run a local header-minting command, and one for an update refused by managed policy. Both show their own message and offer no fix suggestion.
Details
The internal names are autoupdate-deferred-entry-helper and autoupdate-disabled-by-policy.
The autoupdate notifier now dedupes and clears these per error rather than by comparing whole lists, so a repeated skip does not re-notify.
The log line now reads "skipped (pinned, deferred or refused)".
Evidence
autoupdate-deferred-entry-helper
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
