+
+  **Changed:**
+
+  * `builtinToolPolicy` accepts argument-scoped Claude Code permission rules such as `Bash(curl *)` or `Edit(**/*.env)` as keys, in addition to bare tool names; `WebSearch` and `WebFetch` take the bare name only, and a key that is not a usable rule is dropped with a configuration error. Deploy argument-scoped entries once your whole fleet is on this release: an older build drops an argument-scoped `ask` entry as an unknown tool, so that tool runs without a prompt.

   **Changed:**
 
-  * **Breaking:** Managed-config URL settings now reject values that embed credentials (`https://user:password@host…`). Configurations that relied on this fail to load until the credentials are removed; use `bootstrapHeaders` / `bootstrapHeadersHelper` (arriving in an upcoming release) to send authentication instead.
+  * **Breaking:** Managed-config URL settings now reject values that embed credentials (`https://user:password@host…`). Configurations that relied on this fail to load until the credentials are removed; use `bootstrapHeaders` / `bootstrapHeadersHelper` (available from 1.32885.1) to send authentication instead.
   * `allowedPluginMarketplaces[].source` (beta) accepts a new `url` value: a hosted `marketplace.json` whose plugins are zip archives, fetched over HTTPS with no git on the device; set `url` to the manifest address (`repo`, `ref`, and `path` do not apply).
   * `allowedPluginMarketplaces[].credentialKind` (beta) accepts a new `inferenceCredential` value, for `url` marketplaces on the inference gateway's own origin: fetches carry the same bearer credential the app already sends the gateway for inference.
