…e defguard group Manual, Ubuntu-only module. Installs the Defguard desktop client 2.1.0 from the pinned ubuntu-22-04-lts GitHub release package, verified against its sha256, then makes sure the user is in the defguard group and defguard-service runs. The client reaches the service through a socket restricted to that group. A logout and login is not always enough on Ubuntu, so the installer reads the Groups line of /proc/<pid>/status for the user's systemd manager and the running client, tells whether a reboot is required, and asks before rebooting. Skipped on MacOS (added to MACOS_SKIP_MODULES) and in Docker.
…--all defguard becomes the last module of the Ubuntu --all order, so its reboot warning is the last thing printed. install_all_modules exports DOTFILES_INSTALL_ALL=1: the module then only warns that a reboot is required instead of asking, since --all runs without prompts. The README order list gains defguard.
The Homebrew cask defguard-client is stuck on 1.5.x and deprecated, so the module installs the universal DMG of the pinned release: sha256 checked, code signature verified, signed by the vendor's Apple Developer team and accepted by Gatekeeper, then copied into /Applications with ditto. An App Store install or an equal or newer version is left alone, and the script stops while Defguard is running. defguard joins MACOS_MODULE_ORDER (last) and leaves MACOS_SKIP_MODULES; test-macos.sh checks its syntax and portable test. On MacOS, test.sh checks the application, its signing team and whether the VPN system extension is enabled.
…the no-prompt rule Sixteen modules in the Ubuntu --all order, defguard last; defguard runs its own installer on MacOS as well. Modules must not prompt when DOTFILES_INSTALL_ALL=1. The unmerged claude-code branch takes the same 16th and 10th slots.
