No one on earth trusts McAfee, be it the abysmal man or abysmal AV suite.

If the EDR or AV software is causing issues with your code running, it's possibly an issue with the suite, but it's more likely an issue with your code not following common sense security requirements like code signing.

you don't code sign during development....

It's not common, but it should be.

Still, that was just one example. EDR reacting to your code is likely a sign of some other shortcut being taken during the development process. It might even be a reasonable one, but if so it needs to be discussed and accounted for with the IT security team.

You’re talking about during CI. Not during the actual coding process. You’re not signing code while you’re debugging.
