   Foundational Flows are temporarily restricted to users with Beta/Experimental features enabled despite being a GA feature. Our team has identified a fix. As a workaround, you can enable Beta and Experimental features to enable Foundational Flows. - https://docs.gitlab.com/user/gitlab_duo/turn_on_off/#turn-on-beta-and-experimental-features - https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/flows/foundational_flows/

   Foundational flows now run correctly when experimental/beta features are disabled. Workaround: To enable foundational flows, temporarily turn on experimental/beta features, enable the flows, save, then disable experimental/beta features. A complete fix removing this workaround is in review and will be included in an upcoming patch release.
