+## Bypass the policy

+A policy keeps projects consistent; it isn't a security control. Set `FERN_IGNORE_ORG_VERSION_BOUNDS=true` to run the version pinned in `fern.config.json` regardless of the bounds.

+```bash
+FERN_IGNORE_ORG_VERSION_BOUNDS=true fern generate

+A positional version and `--min`/`--max` are mutually exclusive: `fern org set cli-version 5.45.0 --min 5.40.0` is rejected.

 `--min` and `--max` update only the bound you pass. Setting `--min 5.40.0` on an organization already pinned to `5.45.0` leaves the maximum at `5.45.0`, turning the pin into the range `5.40.0` to `5.45.0`.
