How does Oracle determine when to patch files?

I have had 1.5 years of SR's before we figured out an issue - One setting on an EXTERNAL applications node caused adpatch to ignore a number of payroll reports causing our instance to have a large number of files not get updated during patching.

The question is:
How does Oracle determine when to patch files?

It appears that AD_ SNAPSHOT_FILES is now used to determine file versions.
AND it appears that files are only checked if:
<TIER_ADMIN oa_var="s_isAdmin">YES</TIER_ADMIN>
<TIER_WEB oa_var="s_isWeb">YES</TIER_WEB>
<TIER_FORMS oa_var="s_isForms">YES</TIER_FORMS>

Howdy, Stranger!
