That pairs with PR 342047, which closes gaps in move refusals, strict movability checks, and Copilot storage handling. For developers, this…
Second, enterprise readiness around Fusion and managed models. PR 342136 forwards the Fusion setting to remote and tunnel hosts while keeping the account preview gate, fixing sessions that always showed plain Auto remotely. PR 342200 renames the tiers to Standard, High, and Max. On the policy side, PR 342167 stops…
