Unclear Whether malformed permission updates from a bridge client are still simply ignored or are now refused in a way the app sees is not stated.
What
When another app connected to a session through the bridge answers a permission question, its reply can include updatedPermissions, a set of permission changes. A malformed set used to be dropped with the warning "Malformed updatedPermissions from bridge client ignored". It now goes through a shared routine, labelled "refused" and "bridge client". The same routine also handles permission replies that arrive for a question no longer waiting.
Why
Malformed permission updates from connected apps are now dealt with in one place. The warning text you see in logs is different.
