Replying to [comment:2 catalyst]:
> Thanks, that's good to know. So the torrc-defaults file (or at least the
`ClientTransportPlugin` lines?) remains the same regardless of Tor
configuration changes in Tor Browser's Network Settings?
Yes. Tor Launcher adds/removes `UseBridges=1` and various `Bridges` lines
via the control port, but the `ClientTransportPlugin` lines all come from
`torrc-defaults`. That file is never modified unless a user edits it
(which they should not do; in Tor Browser, we ask them to edit `torrc`
only).
