+== Device cleanup on iOS and iPadOS
+
+- Device cleanup on iOS and iPadOS now resets settings such as time zone, language, and HTTP proxy on devices with the newer Settings layout. Previously, layout changes in newer iOS and iPadOS releases could cause these cleanup steps to fail with an `Error while cleaning up device, cleanup steps failed` message.
+
+// REVIEWER NOTE (KOB-50523): The Jira root cause field also says the Safari Clear History sheet
+// changed on iOS 17 and later. The Jira impact field lists only the Settings-driven steps (time
+// zone, language, HTTP proxy) as changed. Confirm with engineering whether clearing Safari data,
+// resetting display zoom, and setting Auto-Lock are also fixed before naming them here.
+//
+// REVIEWER NOTE (KOB-50523): The cleanup configurations page lists a known limitation: "Timezone
+// may not reset correctly if the device's current timezone differs from the one set during initial
+// device setup." The Jira evidence does not say whether this fix resolves that limitation. Confirm
+// before changing that page.
+//
+// REVIEWER NOTE (KOB-50523): No fix version is set in Jira. Current-release inclusion is based on
+// the Jira status (Wait For Deployment) only. Confirm the target release date and deviceConnect
+// build before publishing.
