# Details
This is the first phase of an effort to detect unknown keys in GitOps
.yml files. In the regular `fleetctl gitops` case, it will fail when
unknown keys are detected. This behavior can be changed with a new
`--allow-unknown-keys` flag which will log the issues and continue.
In this first phase we are detecting unknown keys in _most_ GitOps
sections, other than the top-level `org_settings:` and `settings:`
sections which have more complicated typing. I will tackle those
separately as they require a bit more thought. Also ultimately I'd like
us to be doing this validation in a more top-down fashion in one place,
rather than spreading it across the code by doing it in each individual
section, but this is a good first step.
As a bonus, I invited my pal Mr. Levenshtein to the party so that we can
make suggestions when unknown keys are detected, like:
```
* unknown key "queyr" in "./lib/some-report.yml"; did you mean "query"?
```
> Note: the goal is to return as many validation errors as possible to
the user, so they don't have to keep running `fleetctl gitops` to get
the next error. I did _not_ update any other errors to stop returning
early, in an effort to keep this as low-touch as possible.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* GitOps runs now fail when unknown or misspelled keys are present in
configuration files.
* New CLI flag --allow-unknown-keys lets unknown keys be treated as
warnings instead of errors.
* Unknown-key messages include suggested valid key names to help correct
mistakes.
* **Tests**
* Expanded test coverage to validate unknown-key detection and the
allow-as-warning option.

Updated the marketing assets section to include new case studies and
success stories, enhancing the documentation with relevant links and
descriptions.
## Summary
- `checkPermFile` in `pkg/secure/secure.go` now self-heals incorrect
file permissions via `os.Chmod` instead of returning a fatal error
- Fixes orbit crash-looping indefinitely when
`/opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json` has mode 755 instead of the expected
600
## Problem
Orbit refuses to start when `updates-metadata.json` has wrong
permissions (e.g. 755 instead of 600), entering an infinite restart loop
(`systemd` restart counter observed at 3447+). The manual workaround is
`chmod 600 /opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json`, but the root cause — an
external process changing file permissions — is intermittent and hard to
track.
The `checkPermFile` function in `pkg/secure/secure.go` was designed as a
security check, but its behavior of fatally erroring on any permission
mismatch causes a denial-of-service on the legitimate user. For
comparison, `checkPermPath` (the directory equivalent) already tolerates
permissions that are less permissive than expected.
## Fix
When `checkPermFile` detects a permission mismatch, it now attempts
`os.Chmod` to correct the permissions before proceeding. It only returns
an error if the chmod itself fails (e.g. insufficient privileges). This
preserves the security intent — files end up with correct permissions —
while making orbit resilient to external permission drift.
## Test plan
- [ ] `go test ./pkg/secure/ -v -run TestOpenFile` — verifies
self-healing behavior
- [ ] `go test ./pkg/secure/ -v -run TestMkdirAll` — unchanged, verifies
directory checks still work
- [ ] Manual: create `/opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json` with mode 755,
start orbit, confirm it self-heals and starts normally

## Testing
- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
## Summary
- Changes label text from "Run this command with the Fleet command-line
tool" to "Generate your installer with the Fleet command-line tool" —
making clear the command produces an installer package, not something
run on each host
- Adds help text to Windows (MSI), Linux (deb), and macOS (pkg) tabs:
"Run this on your admin computer, then deploy the generated package to
your hosts"
## Problem
Customer feedback: users believe they need to install both `fleetctl`
and the enrollment package on each host they're enrolling. The old copy
didn't convey that:
1. `fleetctl package` is run once on an admin machine (not on hosts)
2. The output is a deployable installer package that goes to the hosts
## Test plan
- [ ] Open the Add hosts modal on macOS, Windows, and Linux tabs
- [ ] Confirm label reads "Generate your installer with the Fleet
command-line tool"
- [ ] Confirm help text below the command reads "Run this on your admin
computer, then deploy the generated package to your hosts"
- [ ] Confirm the Advanced tab label is also updated
- [ ] Confirm plain-osquery path is unaffected (no label shown)
- [ ] Confirm ChromeOS, iOS & iPadOS, Android tabs are unaffected

Fixes an unreleased bug where the Android fully managed enroll page
wouldn't be shown if end user auth was enabled. Passes along the flag to
the SSO callback code. There doesn't seem to be any tests that cover
this enroll page so I didn't add/update any however the change is simple
and manually tested to verify the device enrolls and the EUA user link
gets set

# Details
This PR updates front-end routes and redirects the old routes to the new
ones.
While I typically have shied away from renaming vars and constants in
this phase of the renaming work, I chose to rename the path constants
here because they're a lot less useful when they have names that don't
correspond to the paths they're representing. I did the renames using
VSCode's "Rename Symbol" feature which automatically finds and fixes any
references. I then asked Claude to verify the changes and it didn't find
any dangling references (also the code would fail to compile unless all
the new names collided with old ones).

Attempted to make the warning stand out more so people don't skip past
it, and added a note encouraging Fleet users to make feature requests to
bring the contributor endpoints they want to use into the public API
before building anything with them. (Hopefully will help avoid bugs like
[this](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/40448).)

# Details
Implements the renames requested in #40488:
- [X] Add a second name for `macos_setup`: `setup_experience`
- [X] Add a second name for `macos_settings`: `apple_settings`
- [X] Add a second name for `custom_settings`: `configuration_profiles`
- [X] Add a second name for `macos_setup_assistant`:
`apple_setup_assistant`
Prior names are deprecated and log warnings. This uses the same
`renameto` tags as previous aliases, and adds code in relevant sections
in gitops.go to run the existing "rename new to old keys" function so
that we can unmarshall into the existing structs (that still have their
`json` tags set to the old key names until Fleet 5).

names to their new aliases
- [X] Verified that new keys show up in API responses:

If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for
GitOps-enabled settings:
- [X] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)
- [X] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not
supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
- [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Introduces new configuration key aliases: apple_settings (macOS),
configuration_profiles (profiles for macOS/Windows/Android),
setup_experience (macOS setup), and apple_setup_assistant (macOS setup
assistant).
* Old configuration keys remain supported for backward compatibility;
tooling and generated controls will accept either the new or legacy
names.

one uses the `CantAddSoftwareConflictMessage` constant on the server and
one uses a hard-coded message. Everything else uses the constant.
