Description

Current instructions we have for making Policheck updates no longer work because the team has retired the GUI. This means we have don't have a path for devs who don't already have the old Policheck GUI installed to be able to resolve new Policheck errors leaving their PRs in a blocked state.

Need to investigate what the new instructions should be to update the Policheck exclusions list.
