Details

Minor detail.

The Managed storage manifest section could mention that the filename MUST be the same as ID / name in manifest. It is indirectly stated in the Manifest location section, e.g. /usr/lib64/mozilla/managed-storage/<name>.json - but would be clearer if it is something like stated in the other two types:

On MacOS and Linux, it must also match the native messaging manifest's filename (excluding the .json extension).

On Windows, it must match the name of the registry key you create, that contains the location of the native messaging manifest.

Too much redundant information is a factor of course, but in this case I think it might be productive and more consistent in regards to the two other Native manifest types.
