Two new internal identifiers added: settings_quarantine and shell_windows_launcher

What

Two new names, settings_quarantine and shell_windows_launcher, were added to an internal list of telemetry/feature identifiers, alongside existing entries like settings_policy_helper and shell_snapshot_create.

Why

Names like these are typically used internally to tag or measure specific behaviors; their wording hints at a quarantine mechanism for settings and a Windows-specific shell launcher, but the finding does not say what either one does.
