Description

The 'None' credential helper option lacked explicit context, which could lead users to unintentionally disable the feature and face authentication anomalies. This PR adds a brief note to the GCM_None radio button clarifying that it is intended strictly for headless environments, SSH-only workflows, or custom credential helpers.

Technical Scope

  • Textual Update Only: This modification strictly targets the string passed to the CreateRadioButton function for the GCM_None option.
  • Logic Intact: No underlying Pascal Script conditional logic, registry parsing, or silent install mechanisms were altered.

Visual Regression Testing

The 'None' credential helper option lacks context, which could lead
some users to unintentionally disable this feature and have to
authenticate repeatedly.

This change adds a brief note clarifying that this option is intended
strictly for headless environments, SSH-only workflows, or custom
credential helpers.
