Quick overview of the work remaining re: affected areas due to C125 on the following platforms:

Platforms that only require a spot check due to already completing full check of the affected areas mentioned via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issue-2225560919:

• Windows - Requires quick spot check, full check completed via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issuecomment-2095299679.

• Android ARM - Requires quick spot check, full check completed via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issuecomment-2099018562.

• Android Tablet - Requires quick spot check, full check completed via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issuecomment-2096976023.

• iOS - Requires quick spot check, full check completed via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issuecomment-2099140458.

Platforms that still need to check/verify the affected areas due to C124 changes as per https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37333#issue-2225560919:

• macOS - Still requires a pass through the affected areas
