Description: This change stops assigning new users to experiment, while keeping Search Box visible for users that have previously been enrolled.

Steps to test this PR: Run the following commands to make yourself enrolled into the Search Box experiment:

defaults write com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.cohort ntp_search_box_existing_user
defaults write com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.enrollment-date -date "2024-11-10 16:22:28 +0000"
defaults write com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.did-run-enrollment 1

Run the app and confirm that you see the search box.

Then call the following to reset the experiment:

defaults delete com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.did-run-enrollment
defaults delete com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.cohort
defaults delete com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug homepage.searchbox.experiment.enrollment-date

Then run the app and confirm that you don't see the search box. Then verify that this command in terminal doesn't show any output:

defaults read com.duckduckgo.macos.browser.debug | grep homepage
