So a single Microsoft Defender exclusion of /Users/*/dev covers all the build churn instead of scanning it and pegging the CPU.
Shell vars in config.fish don't reach apps launched from the Dock (IDEs, Podman Desktop), so their build churn would escape the /Users/*/dev exclusion. install.rb generates the per-machine plist and bootstraps it.

Microsoft Defender (managed, can't be disabled) scans every file our builds touch — millions of filesystem ops that peg the CPU and push the machine into swap. Endpoint security agreed to a single low-risk exclusion of /Users/*/dev, so this points the XDG base dirs, and the tool caches that ignore XDG (npm, pnpm store, cargo, rustup, go, uv, bundler), under ~/dev while keeping config in ~/.config. A LaunchAgent exports the same vars into the GUI session so apps launched outside the shell (IDEs, Podman Desktop) stay under the exclusion too.
