After looking into this issue, the code does not have this functionality. As such, I have marked it as an improvement.

I've attempted to make parent-child relationships consistent across the board, this LPS achieves the following:

if a category has a permission, the children (both threads and categories) will also have that permission
if a folder has a permission, the children (both file entries and folders) will also have that permission
if a wiki node has a permission, the children (wiki pages) will also have that permission
if a wiki page has a permission, the children (wiki pages) will also have that permission
