            Bug ID: 276338
           Summary: [Cocoa] Recognize a second entitlement to allow
                    non-Lockdown Mode processes to launch
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: InRadar
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Applications using `WKWebView` that have the `com.apple.developer.web-browser` entitlement can request that a particular page be loaded outside of Lockdown Mode. This allows users to bypass LDM on sites that don't work well under that restricted set of features.

We would like to permit some system processes to launch a plain WKWebView in lockdown mode because of similar compatibility issues. We do not want to use the `web-browser` entitlement, since we do not want the other powerful features that entitlement grants.

We are adding a managed entitlement to support this restricted use case: `com.apple.private.allow-ldm-exempt-webview`

This patch recognizes this new entitlement as an alternative to `com.apple.developer.web-browser` for this specific case.
