## Summary Adds the **Policies** feature (proprietary, behind the `POLICIES_ENABLED` flag): backend-driven enforcement that runs a fixed tool pipeline on documents, docked in the right tool sidebar alongside Tools. ## Highlights - **Policy catalog** — 5 categories; **Security** is wired (redact PII + sanitize), the others are marked "Coming soon". - **Backend as source of truth** — policies persist via the Policies engine (`/api/v1/policies`), one policy per category, with a local cache + offline fallback. - **Auto-run** — enabled policies run on every uploaded file: dispatch → poll → import outputs into the workspace. - **Security redact config** — PII preset dropdown + custom word/regex entry + advanced options; tool params map to the backend endpoint fields. - **Activity feed** with retry on failures; **file badges** showing which policies ran on a file (sidebar + files page), tinted to the policy colour. - Reuses the **Watched Folders** engine for each policy's backing folder; policy-owned folders are filtered out of the Watched Folders UI. ## Notes - Gated by `POLICIES_ENABLED` (true in proprietary, false in core) — unreachable in the open-source build. - Frontend-only diff; depends on the backend Policies engine and the merged Watched Folders feature.
