1.4.1 — 2026-07-31

Fix

  • --mdm output now deploys from a root Jamf policy: every user-domain defaults/PlistBuddy command is emitted prefixed with a runAsUser helper, so it lands in the logged-in user's prefs, not root's. System-level (/Library/Preferences) commands stay plain root.

Noise

  • Filter the whole SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist network tree (NetworkServices:<UUID>:…, Sets:<UUID>:Network:) — per-Mac UUID paths that transplant nowhere and churn on VPN reconnect; a # NOTE: names the real reproducers (networksetup, or a VPN profile).
  • Filter Trend Micro com.trendmicro.ztnasase UserName (the signed-in account's e-mail — per-user PII) and swgConnectStatus (live connection state); real prefs stay.
  • Filter Office UAE* crash-detection markers (com.microsoft.*, rewritten on every launch/quit) and the Monotype Fonts agent's MFEPProcessId (live PID) / MFEPExecutablePath (self-written install path).
