**Related issue:** Resolves #49419 Adds the UI for patching Fleet-maintained apps when the app is closed. The patch toggle becomes a Deploy control with Force install and Patch checkboxes. Checking Patch reveals a radio group: Patch when app is closed, Force patch, or End user initiated. The control appears in the Add software flow, a new Deploy modal, and the edit-policy page. The change also adds skipped-install copy in the activity feed and install details, a Self-service toggle for Fleet-maintained apps, and GitOps and Premium gating. The PR also includes backend changes that expose the patch policy's continuous-automation state and a Fleet-maintained app's install query in the API. The UI reads both to show the correct Deploy options, so they ship in one PR. ## Testing - [x] Added/updated automated tests - [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually Eng QA walkthrough [part 1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Un-Z4QoTk2eXslQ_b8t95cE11QYq1SUt/view?usp=drive_link), [part 2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/12_1Eh_RHOJ7RTjXBxFgas0VhKWvhLS0r/view?usp=drive_link)
Fleet UI tests
The test directory contains the jest configuration, test setup, request handlers, mock server definition, testing utilities, and entity stubs (deprecated and will be replaced by mocks in frontend/__mocks__) for use in test files throughout the application. The test files for components and app functions are located in the same directory as the files they test.

Jest configuration
This is where the jest configuration is located. Refer to Jest's official documentation.
Test setup
This file configures the testing environment for every test file.
Request handlers and their setup
Default handlers and custom handlers are both defined within the handlers directory and return mocked data. The handlers directory will naturally grow with more default and custom handlers required for more tests. We use mock service worker to define all request handlers.
Default handlers and custom handlers differ in their setup. Default handlers are setup in mock-server.ts. The mock server will serve the default handlers outlined in default-handlers.ts. Custom handlers must be setup inline within a component's test suite (frontend/**/ComponentName.tests.tsx). For example, we would setup the custom handler activityHandler9Activities inline using mockServer.use(activityHandler9Activities);.
Testing utilities
We use various utility functions to write our tests.
Testing stubs Deprecated
Testing stubs are still being used in a handful of old tests. We are no longer following this pattern of adding data to testing stubs. Rather, we are building stubs as mocks located in the frontend/__mocks__ directory.
