Hide Admin Notices: Admin and client-governance operations

Hide Admin Notices matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping client admin areas controlled, understandable, and safe to maintain, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Client admin changes, notices, hidden settings, and role confusion create support work and risky site handoffs. The entry wedge is to audit admin settings, notices, client-safe controls, and ownership of site-management actions.
