Research direction
Start with the forward declaration around line 144 of sdk/core/azure-core/inc/azure/core/http/policies/policy.hpp and compare it with the linked APIView review. Trace how APIView represents that type and identify why it is emitted twice. Done means the forward-declared type appears only once in the APIView output for this example.
