Unclear What uft() is or how it gets configured (e.g. managed/enterprise policy) isn't stated in the evidence.
What
The functions that determine which plugins are force-enabled and in what order plugins load (prepend/append order) now first check a new source, uft(). If it returns a value, its managed plugin ids and order are used directly, instead of the previous behavior of reading from policy settings or user settings.
Why
This gives whatever configures uft() — likely a managed or enterprise deployment mechanism — direct control over plugin enablement and ordering, overriding what would otherwise come from policy or user settings.
