Apple silicon: Munki not showing Apple softwareupdate items that do not require a restart?

To investigate:
I've gotten a report of available Apple software updates not being displayed by Managed Software Center on Apple silicon. In this specific instance, the item was
{'full_identifier': 'Safari15.5BigSurAuto-15.5', 'identifier': 'Safari15.5BigSurAuto', 'version': '15.5', 'Title': 'Safari', 'Version': '15.5', 'Size': '122928K', 'Recommended': 'YES'}
On Apple silicon, we can neither download or install Apple updates without user credentials, so it's possible we're completely ignoring Apple updates that do not require a restart. Instead, on Apple silicon, these should be handled like Apple updates that require a restart: display them in MSC, but redirect to System Preferences Software Update pane for install. (Or we should clearly document the current behavior and provide recommendations.)
This is difficult for me to set up a test but I think this: f6c618a addresses it
I was able to set up a test; found an issue and addressed it. Closing this.
