Add macOS app filter to My device software

[allenhouchins]

Expose the existing "Applications" / "Full inventory" software filter on the Fleet Desktop My device Software tab for macOS hosts. The filter now defaults to Applications for macOS, sends macos_applications to the device software API, and keeps that query param during pagination. Updated table tests cover rendering and URL behavior on My device and non-macOS hosts.

Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

• Changes file added for user-visible changes in changes/, orbit/changes/ or ee/fleetd-chrome/changes.
  See Changes files for more information.

• Input data is properly validated, SELECT * is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters.

• Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops

• If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes

Testing

• Added/updated automated tests

• Where appropriate, automated tests simulate multiple hosts and test for host isolation (updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

• QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:

• Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load test results
• Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed

Database migrations

• Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will auto-update timestamps during migration.
• Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not cause unwanted side effects.
• Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character columns (COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci).

New Fleet configuration settings

• Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps

If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for GitOps-enabled settings:

• Verified that the setting is exported via fleetctl generate-gitops
• Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to the GitOps documentation
• Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
• Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is enabled

fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop

• Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet (see Must rule)
• If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that runtime.GOOS is used as needed to isolate changes
• Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows
• Verified auto-update works from the released version of component to the new version (see tools/tuf/test)

Pull request overview

This PR updates the host/device software table UI so macOS “My device > Software” supports the existing Applications vs Full inventory filter, defaulting macOS to Applications and preserving the macos_applications query param during pagination.

Changes:

• Show the /Applications filter on the My device page for macOS hosts.
• Default macosApplicationsFilter for macOS hosts (including My device) and pass macos_applications to the device software API query.
• Expand/update table tests to cover rendering and URL pagination behavior for My device and non-macOS platforms.

File	Description
frontend/pages/hosts/details/cards/Software/HostSoftwareTable/HostSoftwareTable.tsx	Removes My device gating so the Applications/Full inventory dropdown can render for macOS on My device and keeps macos_applications in pagination query params.
frontend/pages/hosts/details/cards/Software/HostSoftwareTable/HostSoftwareTable.tests.tsx	Adds/updates tests for rendering the filter on My device and ensuring macos_applications is preserved/omitted appropriately on pagination.
frontend/pages/hosts/details/cards/Software/HostSoftware.tsx	Applies macOS defaulting for macosApplicationsFilter regardless of page context and forwards macos_applications into the device software query key/API params.

Walkthrough

The macOS Applications filter is now available on the Fleet Desktop My device > Software tab. macOS filter state defaults to Applications when unspecified, is included in device software requests, and remains present during pagination. The filter is omitted for non-macOS platforms. Tests cover filter visibility and pagination query parameters.
