When updating to this Checkmk version, the existing Stormshield Info service now keeps working without requiring a manual re-discovery.

Previously, the service went stale after update from Checkmk 2.4. A fresh service discovery was needed to restore it.

Technical background

The check plugin was migrated to the latest check API version and no longer produces a discovered item. However, the persisted autocheck entry still carried the old "Stormshield Info" item, which made the migrated service unrecognized until re-discovery. The update step (cmk-update-config) now rewrites the discovered item of stormshield_info to match the new plugin signature.
