Exclude GAM paths from Prebid refresh auctions #964

Description

@ChristianPavilonis

Description

Trusted Server currently creates a Prebid refresh auction for every GPT slot. Some tracking-only GAM slots must still refresh in GAM but should not enter that auction.

Expected behavior

  • Operators can configure exact GAM ad-unit-path suffixes to exclude from Trusted Server refresh auctions.
  • Matching slots retain their GPT refresh and stale Trusted Server/Prebid targeting is cleared.
  • Normal slots continue to auction, including mixed global refreshes.
  • Missing or failing GAM path metadata fails open.

Acceptance criteria

  • Configuration validates suffixes and injects them into the managed Prebid browser config.
  • Explicit, global all-excluded, and mixed refreshes have the intended GAM and Prebid behavior.
  • Initial-load refresh pass-through remains unchanged.
  • Operator documentation covers matching and external bundle rollout.
