Enough detail is available to trust this assessment.
Assessment Reasoning
This is a new feature introducing built-in, read-only diagnostics in Microsoft Purview eDiscovery to help admins troubleshoot access, scoping, and hold-policy issues. It adds visibility and self-service checks but does not alter configuration or enforce new settings. The rollout begins soon, so IT teams should review eDiscovery workflows and documentation. User-facing impact is negligible as diagnostics are limited to admin tools.
