Proactive detection expansion + anti-evasion.

Highlights

  • De-obfuscation engine — decodes ANSI-C quoting ($'\\x63') and adjacent-quote splitting ("b"'u''n'), then runs the whole catalog against the decoded text. The live obfuscated AUR wave (a bun add JS payload hidden in a post_install hook) is now flagged critical, not just a generic high.
  • +28 detection rules across reverse shells, exfiltration, auth/system tampering, supply-chain trust, and RCE. Catalog 72 → 106 codes.
  • aur-scan install cleans its own build dir (--keep-build to retain).
  • Packaging: options=('!debug' '!strip') — no more empty -debug package or gdb/fakeroot noise.
