+
+Fixed [#8429](https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/8429). Formatter, linter, and assist settings now correctly inherit from global configuration when not explicitly specified in overrides.
+
+Before this fix, when an override specified only one feature (e.g., only `linter`), other features would be incorrectly disabled instead of inheriting from global settings.
+
+Example configuration that now works correctly:
+```json
+{
+  "formatter": { "enabled": true },
+  "overrides": [{
+    "includes": ["*.vue"],
+    "linter": { "enabled": false }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+After this fix, `.vue` files will have the linter disabled (as specified in the override) but the formatter enabled (inherited from global settings).
