  • FAQ: note the 4.3.0 login-privileged run-once regression Privileged login items are recorded under the machine-wide run_once key instead of run_once-<username>, so they run only for the first user to log in. Documents the symptom users will see in their preference file.

  • Clarify login-window behaviour with FileVault and drop stale references - Note that the FileVault unlock screen is not the login window, so login-window scripts may be skipped entirely on a FileVault machine - Remove .mobileconfig examples from ScriptOverrides; profile support was removed in Outset v4 - Trim Outset 3 migration wording and outdated network wait commentary

  • Docs review: correct inaccuracies against Outset 4.3 code and improve organisation - background_script_timeout: document the actual 30s default (0 disables) - wait_for_network: disabled by default; key presence enables wait in root context, so deleting the key (not writing false) disables it - Network check: describe SCNetworkReachability, 1s polling (not ifconfig/10s) - FAQ: seven launchd plists (add on-demand-privileged), fix --disable-services typo, fix wait_for_network key name/default, correct boot processing order, context-dependent log paths - Document on-demand-privileged run mode (OnDemand, FAQ, Customize targets, BackgroundScripts supported directories) - ExcludeUsers: ignored_users also applies to login-privileged-* items - Payloads: list valid action types explicitly; clarify checksum interaction and recommend script signing for payload integrity - Home: add processing-directories quick-reference table - Sidebar: group pages into Getting Started / Features / Configuration / Security sections; add missing Logging link Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
