<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #43885

admin account if one exists. Changes file added for entire feature

# Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops

## Testing

- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

## Database migrations

- [x] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [x] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [x] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Automatic password rotation for managed local admin accounts on macOS,
triggered after viewing activity.
* Provisioning now captures and persists the managed admin account
identifier (UUID) to support rotation and prevents that account from
being stored as a regular user.
* Hosts will request a best-effort recheck when the managed admin
identifier is not yet available.

* **Chores**
* Database schema updated to store rotation scheduling and pending
credential state.

* **Tests**
* Added tests covering UUID capture, conditional updates, migration, and
ingest behavior.
