Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 a103d7b6f1 Script the Chrome Enterprise Core enrolment
Enrolling is what lifts the off-store restriction without joining a domain, and
it is one machine-scoped token in both places Chrome looks: HKLM on Windows, a
file under /etc/opt/chrome/policies/enrollment on Linux. Both scripts take
--remove, and both say plainly that removing the token locally does not release
the seat in the Admin console.
