"Auto-indexing disabled" is confusing on first encounter in policy page #29095

@varungandhi-src

Description

@varungandhi-src
  • Sourcegraph version: main

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add "codeIntelAutoIndexing.enabled": true to the configuration page.
  2. Navigate the Code Intel > Configuration page and read the default policy text.

Expected behavior:

The wording/presentation should make it clearer that auto-indexing is turned off for a specific policy.

Actual behavior:

The phrasing "Auto-indexing disabled" makes it seem like auto-indexing is disabled site-wide, which is confusing because I literally just set enabled to true earlier, while following the instructions on How to enable auto-indexing. I did a double take "Do I need to do something else as well to turn on auto-indexing or is it saying ‘disabled’ because of some other reason?". The meaning of that only becomes clear once you click Create new policy and see that auto-indexing is a per policy configuration option.
