xVigil 0.2.0 (beta)

Detections are now loud, and xVigil can actively scan on demand.

New

• Loud detections: a background monitor sweeps XProtect logs; any finding
  turns the menu bar icon into a red warning shield, banners the popover, and
  appears in a new Detections dashboard section with full detail.
• On-demand ClamAV scanning: point xVigil at folders XProtect never
  proactively checks (Homebrew prefixes, Downloads) and scan with your own
  ClamAV install (brew install clamav). Prefers the clamd daemon, falls back
  to clamscan, warns when signature databases are stale, streams results
  live with reveal-in-Finder. Report-only — xVigil never quarantines or
  deletes anything.
• CLI: new engine and scan commands.

Improved

• Detection classification requires actual threat language — "no threats
  detected" no longer registers as a detection.

Installing

Unzip and drag xVigil.app to Applications. Ad-hoc signed beta: right-click
→ Open on first launch. Requires macOS 15+. Universal binary.
ClamAV is optional and only needed for on-demand scanning.
