A local admin policy helper shuts itself down when remote settings supersede the policy it came from.

Anonymous. No account, no email.
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
