+# This used to pin the retired path so Windows Phase 14 carried a config entry
+# naming a missing executable. Two things retired that intent. The fixture now
+# COPIES a binary to the retired path, so it stopped being missing regardless of
+# what this string says -- the requirement was only ever checking the string,
+# never the property. And Windows update is a handoff to install.ps1 now, so
+# nothing rewrites this entry in-process the way the launcher-managed update
+# did: an entry naming a foreign path simply survives to uninstall, which
+# correctly refuses to remove a config entry owned by a DIFFERENT installation,
+# and 14f would then be demanding the one thing uninstall must never do.
+#
+# The missing-executable classification lives on in named unit tests instead of
+# here: cli_editor_mcp_preserves_unrecorded_posix_absolute_entries_without_probe
+# and cli_editor_mcp_preserves_unsafe_windows_drive_probe (tests/test_cli.c),
+# the latter covering the Windows missing-drive case specifically.
