A new setting controls how long you can keep working on stale config before a forced restart.
A new relaunchEnforcementHours setting controls how long a user can keep working on a stale config after the server pushes a change before the app forces a restart dialog. It defaults to 1 hour, is settable from 0 to 336 hours, and only takes effect when set via the remote bootstrap config; it is ignored if set via MDM.
