Model catalog's 'flag rows' feature removed, replaced by a new servedCatalogOffBeforeAsking field

What

The model catalog's "flag rows" mechanism has been removed entirely: the flagRowsAwaitTrust and flagAliasSpellings state fields and the model_catalog_flag_rows telemetry event are gone. In their place is a new servedCatalogOffBeforeAsking field.

Why

This reflects an internal change to how the model catalog handles trust and alias spellings before presenting model choices; it is not stated what user-visible effect, if any, this has.
