You'll notice
Cowork/Code toggles now default to disabled instead of enabled if config can't be verified.
The coworkTabEnabled and isClaudeCodeForDesktopEnabled settings now set failClosedValue: false and remotePolicy: { applyUnverified: false }. If the managed configuration can't be verified or parsed, these surfaces now default to disabled instead of defaulting on.
