🚀 v0.7.4-bash — Improved Security Checks & rclone Connectivity

This release focuses on refined security diagnostics, sanitised notifications, and more reliable cloud connectivity validation using rclone lsd.
The update enhances log clarity, notification compatibility, and path-level validation for all remote/cloud backup targets.

🛡️ Security & Process Validation

/script/security-check.sh

Fix

• 🧰 Improved dependency warning clarity
  The message shown when dependencies are missing now includes the full command:
  apt-get update && apt-get install -y iptables net-tools iproute2
  — ensuring emails and logs never truncate the installation instructions.

• 🔐 Sanitised process warning entries
  All “Potentially suspicious process found” messages now replace : with - in patterns and PIDs.
  This prevents notification systems from truncating lines and ensures full visibility of the detected process details.

☁️ Cloud Connectivity & Remote Validation

/script/utils_counting.sh

Fix

• 🌐 More robust cloud connectivity checks
  _TEST_CLOUD_CONNECTIVITY() now validates the rclone remote root and remote backup path separately using:

  • mkdir (to ensure path existence & permissions)
  • rclone lsd (to check remote directory status)

  This gives clearer diagnostics and eliminates false positives.

• 🔄 Switched from `rclone about` to `rclone lsd`

  • rclone about is not supported by many providers (e.g., Azure Blob).
  • Using rclone lsd provides accurate, path-level validation with far better compatibility across cloud/storage systems.
  • Error messages now clearly indicate whether the issue is with the remote itself or the specific backup path.

✅ Overall Improvements

• 🔍 More transparent logs during security scans.
• 📬 Notification systems no longer truncate process warnings.
• ☁️ Cloud backup checks are now provider-proof, clearer, and more reliable.
• ⚙️ More stable behaviour when dealing with unusual remote configurations or unsupported rclone operations.

✨ Result: v0.7.4-bash delivers cleaner logs, more accurate diagnostics, and improved reliability across both security and cloud-connectivity modules.
