# Description of Changes Combine the Policies and Pipelines pages into one, so we have the new concept of Policies as Pipelines that always run which the user cannot disable. What used to be Policies are now referred to as Templates, and they allow you to create a new Pipeline more easily with the simple UI. There's followup work to be done here to improve the template UIs because they've not been touched in a long time, but I've considered that beyond the scope of this merge. The only real changes I've made to them in this PR is that they have a toggle for whether they're policies, they now have a "Customise" button to kick you into the full Pipeline editor, and I've removed the source selection. Previously, they supported selecting as many sources as you liked, but that feature never worked and is incompatible with the backend as it stands now, which only allows for one source. Because of that, I've made it so that they can only run in editor unless you open them in the custom pipeline editor, where you can switch out which source it will use. There's also another bit of followup to rename and remove all the previous Policies code. Now that they've been combined into one, we don't need a lot of the Policies code anymore, but also there's about 300 files in the frontend referencing policies in text/comments which need to be updated to say pipelines. This is way more work than is reasonable to do in this PR so I'll just do it in a new PR. ## Limitations This PR is about the merging of the old Policies and Pipelines and I'm considering enforcing the new definition of a Policy where it's only modifiable by admins beyond the scope of this PR. <img width="756" height="395" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d31be5ce-f1c9-46b3-8e8d-866e63f89a81" /> <img width="1507" height="793" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ba8875f-8be5-4881-91cf-40e0bc1076dc" /> <img width="1508" height="787" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3e1da77b-a0c0-4262-aad3-16650098db81" /> --------- Co-authored-by: EthanHealy01 <80844253+EthanHealy01@users.noreply.github.com>
