Version 1.3.6
Build 128
Restore privileged tracing after older upgrades and keep file-activity monitoring within strict resource limits.
Fixes
- Replace legacy tracing helpers transactionally and verify the current protocol handshake before tracing starts
- Recover when macOS rejects an older helper before it can report its protocol version
- Limit file-activity observation to visible directories, with bounded watcher queues and recent-event history
- Coalesce filesystem changes to avoid whole-volume per-file subscriptions that can amplify fseventsd memory pressure
- Exit helper maintenance commands immediately with an accurate success or failure status
This hotfix completes tracing-helper recovery for older installations and sharply reduces the operating-system work required for file activity. Observation is now scoped, coalesced, and bounded so heavy I/O cannot grow FindDiskKiller’s event history without limit.
