/// The legacy mechanism for specifying admin-enforced configuration is to read
/// from a file like `/etc/codex/managed_config.toml` that has the same
/// structure as `config.toml` where fields like `approval_policy` can specify
/// exactly one value rather than a list of allowed values.
///
/// If present, re-interpret `managed_config.toml` as a `requirements.toml`
/// where each specified field is treated as a constraint. Most fields allow
/// only the specified value. `approvals_reviewer = "auto_review"` also allows
