Population after a custom graphql resolver, what does it?

I know for sure I do return a full document with populated associations.
It seems that no matter what I return from the resolver it does get re-populated somewhere else down the line…

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
Query: {
  headline: {
    description: 'Return the homepage headlines',
    resolverOf: 'application::headline.headline.find',
    resolver: async (obj, options, ctx) => {
     // custom find services returning deeply populated documents
      return await strapi.services.headline.find(options);
    },
  }
},
  }
};
