Description

The schemas already know about the application field – now we will need to map each (Feature, Application) pair to a new feature config in Experimenter.

We probably don’t want to do this for all historic versions and should instead have a version cutoff of current release - 2 (or something similar).

Research direction

Start by locating manifesttool and the existing schema handling for the application field. Trace how (Feature, Application) pairs become Experimenter feature configs, then clarify the release-minus-two cutoff and historic-version behavior before implementation. Done means supported mappings are configured without unexpectedly changing older versions.
