Entitlement report guidance drops nested-group scope note as custom-header rollout wording changes

A quiet day of documentation maintenance produced two interpretation-sensitive edits. Entitlement Management Reports guidance no longer states that nested group drift is excluded or that reports compare assignments with users directly assigned to a group. Global Secure Access guidance also removed a September 2026 rollout note about needing a special Entra Admin Center link to view custom-header details in traffic logs. The other updates add a Migration Policy Analyzer screenshot and correct Agent ID reference links.
