Update teamspace policies

Incrementally update policy configuration for the teamspace associated with the API key. Only the fields you include in the request body are modified — omitted fields remain unchanged. For source types, use enable/disable arrays (both allowed if no overlap). For library lists, use add/remove objects or clear: true to remove all. Requires owner or admin role. All field names use camelCase. With dryRun: true nothing is saved; the response shows the policies the patch would give, accessibleLibraryCount after the change, and currentAccessibleLibraryCount before it.
