Hosts: with "All fleets", OS settings filters silently show only "No fleet" hosts

Fleet versions

• Discovered: rc-minor-fleet-v4.93.0 (1f30f3a)
• Reproduced: rc-patch-fleet-v4.92.1 (b63c9dc)

Web browser and operating system: Chrome on macOS

💥 Actual behavior

On Hosts, with All fleets selected, the OS settings, disk encryption and bootstrap package status filters only return hosts that have no fleet. The page still says "All fleets", so matching hosts in fleets silently disappear: Smoke tests has 1 host with pending OS settings, All fleets shows 0.

🛠️ Expected behavior

The page doesn't present "No fleet" results as "All fleets". When the user switches to "All fleets", strip the fleet-scoped filters (os_settings/apple_settings, macos_settings, disk encryption, bootstrap package status) from the URL, the same way software_status is handled today. Keep everything else (query, sort, labels, etc.).

Note: this may affect the work in #52014

🧑‍💻 Steps to reproduce

These steps:

• Have been confirmed to consistently lead to reproduction in multiple Fleet instances.
• Describe the workflow that led to the error, but have not yet been reproduced in multiple Fleet instances.

1. Have a fleet with a host in an OS settings status (e.g. a pending or failed configuration profile) and no host in that status in "No fleet".
2. Controls > OS settings, select that fleet, click the status card (e.g. Pending). The host list shows the host.
3. Switch the fleet dropdown to All fleets. 0 hosts.

Same with Controls > OS settings > Disk encryption > View all hosts, and with the bootstrap package status filter.

🕯️ More info (optional)

• With no fleet in the request, the backend appends h.team_id IS NULL to these filters ("not compatible with the all teams option"): server/datastore/mysql/hosts.go — apple_settings/macos_settings :1860, macos_settings_disk_encryption :1898, os_settings :1931, os_settings_disk_encryption :2049, macos_bootstrap_package :2152. Present since Update team id query parameter to filter hosts by "no team" assignment #10444.
• For os_settings/apple_settings the frontend sends fleet_id=0 under All fleets (reconcileMutuallyInclusiveHostParams, frontend/utilities/url/index.ts:177); for disk encryption and bootstrap package it sends no fleet. Either way the result is "No fleet".
• Precedent: software_status is already dropped when All fleets is selected (ManageHostsPage.tsx:1244).
• Update frontend filtering to allow filtering by platform + disk encryption status #52014 (4.93) makes the disk encryption filter available on platform/label views too.

Assigning to @melpike for product input on expected behavior. We have this pattern in a few places where certain things aren't supported for "all fleets" and that is likely the simplest option but up toy ou

Another occurrence of this, repro'd as follows:

Software install status

1. Software > select a fleet > open a title with an installer that has at least one failed install.
2. Click the Failed count. Hosts shows the failed host(s), with the status dropdown set to "Failed".
3. Switch the fleet dropdown to All fleets.

Before: the dropdown still says "Failed" and software_status=failed stays in the URL, but the list shows every host with the software in its inventory, including ones that installed fine. The API rejects software_status without a fleet, so the page silently drops it from the request.

After: the status filter is cleared on the switch; only the software filter remains.

The linked approach was never working on the frontend for software install, but the related PR fixes it too.

I found that the command palette path is also broken, it does not update the URL. Fixing that too as part of this issue as per yesterday's discussion in standup.
