OpenBao Skips Stricter Deny Policy for LIST operations
## Impact When a policy operator has written `capabilities = ["deny"]` on a path with a trailing wildcard but allowed a broader list operation (e.g., a `deny` on `secrets/metadata/restricted/*` but allowed `list` on `secrets/metadata/*`), OpenBao would incorrectly allow the operation. This did not impact other operation types. ## Patches This has been patched in OpenBao v2.6.0.
