             This PR modifies files that should be synced to consumer repos, but the sync manifest is incomplete.

             ### Why this matters
             Files not declared in the manifest won't be synced to consumer repos (Template, Manager-Database, trip-planner, Travel-Plan-Permission), causing features to silently not work in those repos.
