    .SYNOPSIS
        Apply privacy hardening with telemetry control, bloatware removal, and OneDrive configuration
    
    .DESCRIPTION
        Interactive privacy hardening module with 3 operating modes:
        - MSRecommended (default): Fully supported by Microsoft
        - Strict: Maximum privacy for Enterprise/Edu
        - Paranoid: Hardcore mode (not recommended)
        
        Follows Backup-Apply-Verify-Restore pattern for safety.
    
    .PARAMETER Mode
        Privacy mode: MSRecommended, Strict, or Paranoid
    
    .PARAMETER DryRun
        Show what would be done without making changes
