What

Settings now take a policyHelpers object keyed by macos, linux, windows and wsl, alongside the existing single policyHelper. A bad individual entry is ignored with a status warning, but a structurally invalid policyHelpers object coming from an OS-admin policy source stops startup.

Details
  • WSL falls back to the linux entry under some conditions.
  • If no entry matches the current platform and there is no singular policyHelper fallback, a warning is emitted and no helper runs.
Evidence

"policyHelpers" could not be parsed: expected an object mapping OS keys

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
