Description
Addresses #4030 by documenting that intentional malware-like test fixtures (such as
python/lang/security/audit/python-reverse-shell.py) can be quarantined by Microsoft Defender when the full repository is checked out on Windows, and by showing a sparse-checkout approach for consumers who only need rule YAML.No fixture content was changed. The note recommends against broad Defender exclusions.
