Add managed policy for in-app updates

@@ -250,7 +250,7 @@ Example with notification opt-out:
 - `externalAgentConfig/import/readHistories` — read completed import histories and connector candidates detected from successfully imported session histories. Connector candidates include a normalized display `name`, the number of imported sessions that used the connector, and the source metadata field used for detection.
 - `config/value/write` — write a single config key/value to the user's config.toml on disk; dotted paths such as `desktop.someKey` use the same generic write surface. Writes that overlap a managed requirement are rejected with `configRequirementReadonly`.
 - `config/batchWrite` — apply multiple config edits atomically to the user's config.toml on disk, with optional `reloadUserConfig: true` to hot-reload loaded threads, including multiple `desktop.*` edits. Session-static model, reasoning-effort, Plan-mode reasoning-effort, service-tier, and personality defaults do not reload existing threads.
