Body

I propose enabling Vigilant Mode by default to enhance security across all projects. This aligns with the “secure by default” philosophy, ensuring stronger protection for users without requiring manual configuration.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Security: Enforces best practices to reduce vulnerabilities automatically.
Reduced Human Error: Removes the need for users to manually enable security features.
Consistency Across Environments: Provides a uniform security baseline for all users.

Addressing Potential Concerns:

Legacy Support: Older projects can use a legacy label.
Advance Notice: Changes will be announced ahead of time to allow users to set up prerequisites, such as code signing, accompanied by clear documentation and support.
