Two more managed settings now fail closed if their value can't be verified.

The disableNonessentialServices and disableDeepLinkRegistration managed settings now have failClosedValue: true, so if the managed-settings value can't be read or verified, the CLI defaults to the safe, blocking behavior instead of leaving the feature open.

Added since A small documentation edit on Telemetry and egress touched a line naming disableNonessentialServices after this was published. With `disableEssentialTelemetry`, `disableNonessentialTelemetry`, `disableNonessentialServices`, and `disableAutoUpdates` all set to `true`, the desktop application makes **no outbound connections to Anthropic-operated hosts at runtime**. … third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry see the edit
