What
If remote settings arrive that shadow the local MDM or file policy a policy helper was read from, the helper is now retired: its refresh timer stops, its state is cleared, and the settings tier change is announced and recorded in telemetry.
Details
Runs when a remote payload lands and the helper was not itself armed from remote settings.
Telemetry goes under the policy-helper settings event; both the message and this outcome value are new.
Evidence
policyHelper: OS-admin helper pass retired; the remote payload that landed shadows the MDM/file policy it was read from
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
