What
The warning shown when auto mode falls back to the default now says which kill switch stopped it, a local override or one served in the payload. The remote-settings reader also tracks a step counter so a read that has already been superseded is logged and ignored if it fails.
Evidence
"auto mode killswitch active (override- or payload-served) — falling back to default"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
