Can you move the documentation added in fix-policies.patch to a new file named patches.md and under the section fix-policies?
If left in fix-policies.patch, it will be overwritten when in the next fix.
The patches.md file is on my TODO list...

… across the codebase and add patch documentation.

@daiyam , Done! I've created

docs/patches.md
with a ## fix-policies section containing all the context from the patch header. The patch file now just has a single pointer comment:

# Documentation: docs/patches.md#fix-policies
