## Summary
- Updates Firefox from 148.0.2 to 149.0 (released March 23, 2026) across
the Workstations team configuration
- Updates macOS custom package download URL to Firefox 149.0
- Updates macOS and Windows version-check policies to enforce version >=
149.0
## Changes
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `it-and-security/lib/macos/software/mozilla-firefox.yml` | Updated
package URL from 148.0.2 to 149.0 |
| `it-and-security/lib/macos/policies/update-firefox.yml` | Updated
version check from 148.0.2 to 149.0 |
| `it-and-security/lib/windows/policies/update-firefox.yml` | Updated
version check from 148.0.2 to 149.0 |
## Notes
- Firefox on Windows uses the Fleet-maintained app (`slug:
firefox/windows`), which is managed by the Fleet catalog and will
auto-update when the catalog is refreshed
- Firefox on macOS uses a custom package URL since the existing pattern
uses a `.pkg` installer
- Both macOS and Windows already have self-service enabled and
corresponding update policies with calendar event enforcement (macOS)

This fixes an issue where users who login via sso were not having an
expiration date set on their host token cookie. This would cause them to
have to relogin after every browser session
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
Add display_name: "Mozilla Firefox" to the Firefox software entries in
it-and-security/fleets/workstations.yml (macOS and Windows sections).
This ensures a consistent, user-facing name in self-service catalogs for
both platforms.
## Summary
- **Removed the WhatsApp block rule** from the Santa rules configuration
profile (`santa-rules.mobileconfig`). The rule blocked WhatsApp.app via
a CDHASH identifier (`54a8ec11bcea48a276b1fdce556a29108ba77de4`) and is
no longer needed.
- **Expanded Santa profile deployment to all macOS hosts** on the
Workstations team. Both `santa-configuration.mobileconfig` and
`santa-rules.mobileconfig` were previously scoped only to the `"Santa
test devices"` label (4 specific Macs). Removed the `labels_include_any`
restriction so these profiles now install on all Macs in the
Workstations team.
- **Deleted the "Santa test devices" label entirely.** Removed the label
definition file (`santa-test-devices.yml`), its reference in
`default.yml`, and all remaining `labels_include_any` references to it
from the Santa software entry, install-santa-extension policy, and
collect-santa-denied-logs report.
## Changes
###
`it-and-security/lib/macos/configuration-profiles/santa-rules.mobileconfig`
- Removed the `BLOCKLIST` / `CDHASH` rule entry for WhatsApp.app
(identifier `54a8ec11bcea48a276b1fdce556a29108ba77de4`)
- The allowlist for North Pole Security (Team ID) and the test block
rule for BundleExample.app remain unchanged
### `it-and-security/fleets/workstations.yml`
- Removed `labels_include_any: ["Santa test devices"]` from the
`santa-configuration.mobileconfig` and `santa-rules.mobileconfig`
profile entries
- Removed `labels_include_any: ["Santa test devices"]` from the Santa
software entry
- All Santa-related profiles and software now apply to all macOS hosts
on the Workstations team
### `it-and-security/lib/all/labels/santa-test-devices.yml` (deleted)
- Removed the manual label definition for "Santa test devices"
(previously scoped to 4 specific Macs)
### `it-and-security/default.yml`
- Removed the label path reference to `santa-test-devices.yml`
### `it-and-security/lib/macos/policies/install-santa-extension.yml`
- Removed `labels_include_any: ["Santa test devices"]` so the policy
applies to all macOS hosts
### `it-and-security/lib/macos/reports/collect-santa-denied-logs.yml`
- Removed `labels_include_any: ["Santa test devices"]` so the report
applies to all macOS hosts

## Summary
- Enables `calendar_events_enabled` on the macOS Firefox update policy,
matching the 1Password update policy pattern
- Updates the description to use "This device" (consistent with the
1Password policy language)
- Updates the resolution text to reference Self-service and scheduled
maintenance windows instead of Firefox's built-in updater
This aligns the Firefox update enforcement with how 1Password updates
are already handled — via calendar event automations that notify users
of upcoming scheduled maintenance windows.

Pins the Localstack image to the last-known-good version (4.5) before
they 🔪 'd the community edition and started requiring an auth token. I
also added a "wait for localstack" as an initial debugging step, and
left it in to catch similar future issues. It's probably redundant since
there likely _is_ no future for Fleet and Localstack beyond this, but it
take milliseconds and would catch any other weird Localstack failures
so, why not.
## Summary
- Changed all modal "Done" dismiss/close button labels to "Close" across
48 frontend component files
- Updated instructional text in `AutoEnrollMdmModal` that referenced the
"Done" button to say "Close" instead
- Updated 7 test files to assert "Close" instead of "Done" for modal
button names
## Excluded (intentionally not changed)
- `LiveResultsHeading.tsx` — "Done" button is a page-level navigation
action, not a modal dismiss
- `AddAbmModal.tsx` — Instructional text referencing Apple Business
Manager's "Done" button
- `Calendars.tsx` — Instructional text referencing Google Calendar's
"Done" button
- `ModalFooter.stories.tsx` — Storybook demo example

## Summary
- Adds a new "Manage LinkedIn ad creatives" responsibility to the
marketing handbook (`handbook/marketing/README.md`), placed after the
existing "Promote a post on LinkedIn" section.
- Documents the process for creating new ad creatives and boosted posts
inside the "Targeting experiments" campaign group with date-prefix
naming and lifetime budgets, and the criteria for promoting successful
creatives to evergreen awareness campaigns.
- Explains the reasoning: LinkedIn's campaign manager UI does not allow
true deletion of old/failed creatives from evergreen campaigns, which
clutters performance data.

# Details
Step one in https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/40171.
This PR adds a new `exceptions` subsection to the current GitOps config,
with boolean keys for software, secrets and labels. For existing
instances a migration is included to set labels and secrets to `true`.
For new instances, only `secrets` will be `true`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
## Release Notes
* **New Features**
* GitOps configuration now supports exception settings for granular
resource control. Administrators can configure which specific resource
types (labels, software, and secrets) are included in or excluded from
GitOps mode operations.
* **Improvements**
* Improved GitOps configuration handling to preserve exception settings
during partial updates and system migrations.

**Related issue:** Resolves#42156
The core change: instead of loading AppConfig, HostFeatures,
TeamMDMConfig, and rebuilding the detail query map **independently
inside each call** to `directIngestDetailQuery` and `ingestDetailQuery`
(so ~2N times per check-in with N detail results), we load everything
**once** into a `hostDetailQueryConfig` struct and pass it through.
## Before
```
SubmitDistributedQueryResults loop:
for each query result:
→ ingestQueryResults
→ directIngestDetailQuery: loads AppConfig, HostFeatures, TeamMDMConfig, builds detail query map
→ ingestDetailQuery: loads AppConfig, HostFeatures, TeamMDMConfig, builds detail query map
after loop:
loads AppConfig for labels/policies
loads AppConfig AGAIN for deferred host save
```
## After
```
SubmitDistributedQueryResults loop:
on first detail query result:
→ loadHostDetailQueryConfig: loads AppConfig, HostFeatures, TeamMDMConfig, builds detail query map ONCE
for each query result:
→ ingestQueryResults (receives pre-loaded config)
→ directIngestDetailQuery: just looks up the query in the cached map
→ ingestDetailQuery: just looks up the query in the cached map
after loop:
loads AppConfig once for labels/policies/deferred host save
```
The detail config is **lazy-loaded** — if a check-in only has
label/policy results and no detail queries, the
HostFeatures/TeamMDMConfig calls are skipped entirely.
## Other changes bundled in
1. **`serialUpdateHost`** now receives the request context and uses
`context.WithoutCancel(ctx)` instead of `context.Background()`, so the
background goroutine preserves OTEL traces and logging context without
being subject to request cancellation.
2. **Deferred save host** at the end of `SubmitDistributedQueryResults`
reuses the already-loaded AppConfig instead of loading it a third time.
The old code silently skipped the host save if that third load failed.
# Checklist for submitter

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Performance**
* Optimized distributed query result processing by preloading
configuration once per request instead of repeatedly per query result,
reducing redundant database calls and improving overall query
performance.
