Introduce patch management labels and policies for macOS and Windows and integrate them into the workstation fleet. Added two new label files listing many macOS and x86 Windows apps (lib/all/labels/...). Added unmanaged patch policies for macOS and Windows (lib/macos/policies/patch-unmanaged-macos-apps.yml and lib/windows/policies/patch-unmanaged-windows-apps.yml) and renamed existing "patch-fleet-maintained-apps" policies to "patch-managed-..." for clarity. Updated it-and-security/default.yml to include the new labels and updated it-and-security/fleets/workstations.yml to reference the managed and unmanaged patch policies; also expanded the software list with numerous apps targeted by the patch-management labels. Removed several individual update policies (update-claude.yml, update-slack.yml, update-firefox.yml) as part of consolidating patch management.

Resolve labels in default.yml: keep patch-management label paths and use consolidated departments.yml from main instead of per-department files. Made-with: Cursor

Prune and reorganize the fleet app catalog and patch-management labels/policies. Updated it-and-security/fleets/workstations.yml to simplify comments and replace a large, verbose set of macOS/Windows patch-management entries with a curated list used for catalog screenshots (Android Studio, Cursor, Figma, GitHub Desktop, Google Drive, Grammarly, iMazing, iTerm2, Postman, Rectangle, Spotify, Sublime Text, etc.). Cleaned up label manifests: removed many individual macOS/windows app labels and retained/added the labels that match the curated app set. Simplified macOS patch policy file by removing deprecated Adobe entry and many individual app patch rules. Added new update policy files for Claude and Slack on both macOS and Windows (it-and-security/lib/{macos,windows}/policies/update-claude.yml and update-slack.yml). Overall this streamlines patch management configuration and adds update policies for Claude and Slack.
