Catch-all and role desktop overlays merge by meaning

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Managed Settings

Catch-all gateway policies merge desktop overlays key by key, so a strict base can't be loosened accidentally.

What

A gateway policy that inherits from the catch-all entry (match: {}) now merges its desktop overlay semantically instead of overwriting keys wholesale, so a stricter base cannot be loosened by accident.

Details
  • disabledBuiltinTools from the base and the role entry are unioned rather than replaced.
  • builtinToolPolicy is merged so a base value other than allow survives a looser role value.
  • The merged result is diffed and the changed keys are logged, matching what the cli half of a policy already did.
Evidence

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