allowUSBRestrictedModeis now written-bool false(wastrue). The key name is inverted from the intent:falsedisables accessory authorization so the KVM/HID can enumerate without a console click.defaults delete, which removes the one-off override and restores the default or managed policy.com.apple.applicationaccessRestrictions profile, normally delivered by MDM.

HELD FOR REVIEW. Do not merge without explicit operator approval.
