42 **Changed:**
43 
44 * `bootstrapOidc`, `inferenceGatewayOidc`, and `inferenceVertexWorkforceOidc` accept a new `redirectHost` value, `127.0.0.1` (the default) or `localhost`, which sets the host named in the browser sign-in's redirect URI (`http://<host>:<port>/callback`) for identity providers that only accept `localhost`; register exactly the URI you use. Earlier releases ignore the value and keep using `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback`, so a `localhost`-only registration still fails sign-in on them until they update.
45 * An `inferenceModels` entry accepts a new `maxEffort` value (`low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, or `max`): effort levels above it are hidden for that model in Chat, Cowork, and Code and never requested, and Code sessions are held to it; an unrecognized value caps that model at `low`. Earlier releases ignore the value and keep offering every effort level, so the cap holds only on devices running this release or later.
46 * A `managedMcpServers` entry accepts a new `transport` value, `policy-only`: the entry sets `toolPolicy` for an MCP server that an installed plugin provides, matched by `name`, without the app connecting to or launching anything, and takes precedence over `orgPluginSettings` for that server in Chat, Cowork, and Code. Earlier releases drop a `policy-only` entry (it appears under Configuration parse errors in the diagnostic report) and apply `orgPluginSettings` to that server instead; if every entry in the list is `policy-only` they cannot read `managedMcpServers` at all and, until they update, leave MCP servers that users added themselves or that a project's `.mcp.json` declares out of Code sessions. Keep the same permissions in `orgPluginSettings` while earlier releases are in use, and do not deploy a list made only of `policy-only` entries until every device has updated.
