Ticking "Required on all PCs" now generates a configuration policy that
installs the application on every non-server endpoint it matches, rather
than only flagging a software-compliance report row.
Because that save is a fleet-wide deployment, it requires explicit
acknowledgement. The gate is enforced in the API, not only in the form:
a confirmation dialog that can be sidestepped by POSTing directly is
decoration, not a safeguard. It fires only on the transition INTO the
required state, since re-saving an already-required application deploys
nothing new.
Generated policies carry a new 'autoapp' source. They stay editable, and
hand-editing one transfers ownership to 'local' so it survives a later
uncheck; 'shipped' remains read-only. Existing required applications are
not migrated retroactively - policies are only created on save.
Also adds the monitorable fields that the shipped-policy breakup will
build on, and repairs a mangled non-ASCII byte in copilot-instructions.md
that was failing the style gate.
Adds PolicyActionHold so an admin can suspend specific actions on a computer without editing the policy itself, covering the break-glass case where a machine must be quiesced immediately. Holds cover multiple actions in one atomic submission rather than one row per action, so a partial failure cannot leave a half-applied hold. Duration is free-form with 0 meaning indefinite (migration 0006 makes expiresat nullable); the prior fixed ceiling was removed because an admin quiescing a misbehaving machine does not know in advance how long it needs, and a hold silently expiring is worse than one that must be cleared deliberately. The What This Does explainer reflects indefinite holds.
collect_now exemption: refreshing status was denied on any endpoint with a non-empty effective policy even when the caller held the matching grant, because policy intersection silently removed the action. collect_now is a read-only status refresh with no side effects, so it now sits in POLICY_EXEMPT_ACTIONS alongside the other routine actions. Verified against a synthetic non-empty policy: operators can refresh status again while every write action stays gated.
Configuration policies need a way to attach process/service monitors so drift can be evaluated against a machine's desired state. This wires the policy resolver and routes to the shared monitor catalog and adds an action picker UI that can create process monitors with an optional launch path.
Default fuzzy reconcile threshold to 0 and refuse merges when digit runs differ so numbered labels like Bay 311 never bind to Bay 310. Keep edit forms from clearing saved model fields when category filtering hides untyped rows. Includes in-progress computers policy and endpoints command feature work.
