# Checklist for submitter
If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.
- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.
- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops
- [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes
## Testing
- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
## Database migrations
- [x] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- N/A
- [x] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).
## New Fleet configuration settings
- [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps
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`
- [x] 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)
- [x] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added “Patch when closed” deployment policies to update software only
when the application is not running.
* Added deployment controls for force install, patching, and manual,
forced, or closed-app patch options.
* Fleet-maintained apps now automatically detect whether the application
is open.
* GitOps configurations support patch-when-closed settings with
validation.
* **UI Improvements**
* Added clear activity and installation messages when updates are
skipped because an app is open.
* Replaced the Patch action with a unified Deploy workflow.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Prevented skipped updates from being incorrectly retried as failed
installations.
