Interpreted documentation change

What the vendor announced

The changelog entry documents a change to how checkout footer visibility interacts with merchant-configurable content. It states that visibility fields on specific Checkout branding content now only affect merchant-configurable footer content, while Shopify-provided transaction information can still be displayed in the footer regardless of this setting. Existing apps don’t need GraphQL changes, but developers testing branding should not assume that HIDDEN yields an empty footer.
