DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

 The local location is a directory: `_meta.json` records which saved configuration is applied, and each configuration is a `<id>.json` file alongside it. The in-app configuration window writes here.
 
-When a managed source is present, it wins and locally written values are ignored. The exception is a managed source that sets only the update keys (`disableAutoUpdates` and `autoUpdaterEnforcementHours`): those two keys are enforced from the managed source, but the rest of the configuration stays local and user-editable. Configuration is read **once at launch**, so fully quit and reopen the app after any change. On Windows, the two policy hives are not merged: when machine policy is present under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Claude`, the app ignores `HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Claude` entirely; [Deploy the configuration](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/mdm#4-deploy-the-configuration) has the exact rule. See [Deploy with MDM](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/mdm#update-keys-and-managed-precedence) for the full precedence rules.

 <Note>
   Claude Desktop on 3P reads the same managed-configuration sources as standard Claude Desktop but ignores keys scoped to standard deployments. Keys such as `forceLoginOrgUUID` have no effect in a 3P deployment.

     **The gateway MUST validate `iss` AND `aud`, not just the signature.** Signature + issuer alone accepts *any* token from the same tenant, including tokens issued to unrelated apps. In `id_token` mode the audience is the `clientId`:
 
-    ```yaml theme={null}
+    ```yaml theme={null} theme={null}
     # LiteLLM example — `audience` is REQUIRED, not optional

     **Extended context** (`supports1m`) is a capability assertion you make about your deployment; only set it for models you've confirmed support the 1M-token window:
 
-    ```json theme={null}
+    ```json theme={null} theme={null}
     [{"name": "claude-sonnet-5", "supports1m": true}, "claude-opus-4-8"]
     ```
 
     **Default to 1M context** (`prefer1m`) makes the 1M-context variant the default picker selection when this entry is the default model (the first entry); users can still switch to the standard variant, and an explicit user pick is always kept. No effect without `supports1m`. Under dynamic discovery (no explicit list), the equivalent flat key in the **Models** group applies instead:
 
-    ```json theme={null}
+    ```json theme={null} theme={null}
     [{"name": "claude-opus-4-8", "supports1m": true, "prefer1m": true}]
     ```
 
     **Display label** (`labelOverride`) is for IDs the picker can't derive a friendly name from (Bedrock ARNs, gateway routing aliases). Display-only; `name` is still what the app sends:
 
-    ```json theme={null}
+    ```json theme={null} theme={null}
     [{"name": "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:123:application-inference-profile/abc", "labelOverride": "Claude Opus (Prod)"}]
     ```
 
     **Tier mapping** (`anthropicFamilyTier`) tells the app which Claude tier (`haiku`/`sonnet`/`opus`/`fable`/`mythos`) an entry stands in for, so bare tier aliases (e.g. in Code sessions) resolve to your model. `isFamilyDefault: true` picks the winner when several entries share a tier:
 
-    ```json theme={null}
+    ```json theme={null} theme={null}
     [{"name": "us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-8", "anthropicFamilyTier": "opus"}]
     ```

     Applies `toolPolicy` locks to MCP servers that arrive via the org-plugins directory, keyed by server name. Either shape is accepted; when hand-authoring a profile, use the legacy record shape until your fleet floor parses the canonical array form:
 
-    ```json theme={null}

     {"mcpServers": {"internal-search": {"toolPolicy": {"delete_document": "blocked"}}}}
