macOS first run (Gatekeeper)
Unsigned CLI binaries may show “Apple could not verify…” on the first groot run. This is download quarantine, not malware. Clear it once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "$(command -v groot)"
Or use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Updated Homebrew casks clear quarantine on install.
Getting started
Point groot at your kubeconfig, run groot collect, and attach the tarball. See SPECIFICATIONS.md.
