Breaking changes: • The `Business-relevant site categories` category group is renamed to `Business and generative AI`; any documentation, runbooks, or references to the old name will need to be updated.

Breaking changes: • The 'Business-relevant site categories' category group is renamed to 'Business and generative AI'; any documentation or references using the old name will need to be updated. • In existing filtering policies, the new 'Generative AI' category automatically inherits the setting of the 'Information technology' category (e.g., if 'Information technology' is set to 'Allow', 'Generative AI' will also be 'Allow') — review policies where 'Information technology' is set to 'Allow' if you intended to block generative AI sites.
