The symptom usually appears downstream from the real change.

• macOS assumptions are often changed indirectly by updates, policy, hardware changes, or cleanup work that looked harmless at the time.
• Bootstrap Token assumptions are often changed indirectly by updates, policy, hardware changes, or cleanup work that looked harmless at the time.
• Management assumptions are often changed indirectly by updates, policy, hardware changes, or cleanup work that looked harmless at the time.
• Updates assumptions are often changed indirectly by updates, policy, hardware changes, or cleanup work that looked harmless at the time.
