Support / Known limitations

  • INTERSECT project recall stores sample file paths for every file in the session; if files move, relink is required.
  • Builds are unsigned; platform security prompts (especially macOS) may require manual trust/quarantine removal.
  • Report bugs or request features via GitHub Issues.
