November 2024: Delivered an admin-controlled visibility feature flag for Malware Risk on Disk in nexus-public. This enables admins to toggle exposure of the Malware Risk on Disk feature for non-admin users, aligning with security governance and reducing unintended exposure. Backend and frontend changes were implemented to wire the new flag into the feature flag system and UI logic, ensuring consistent behavior across Java and JavaScript layers. A public export commit was recorded (hash 0f0e254c2f4e7d8732b632aeac6b6906fd52f53c).
