Cloning a repo owns your computer. Is that something you expected?

That's not what's happening.

Using AI tool over that repo does, but you have to launch it before the AV kicks in.

Only if you think opening Cursor.app counts as “using an AI tool”. Most reasonable people wouldn’t expect an AI-enabled text editor to hack their machine right away -- it should have the common decency to wait until you type something into the AI agent panel, then hack you!
