Do you ever run XProtect Remediator manually? If so, the latest version doesn’t oblige. You might need to consider a 3rd party malware scanner.
Since macOS Mojave, certain plain text files can never be found by local Spotlight search, because their contents weren’t indexed. This has now been fixed in macOS 27.0. Hurrah!
Some examples of what are often dismissed as ‘cosmetic’ bugs resulting from macOS upgrades, including lasting QuickLook rendering problems, and upside down mirror writing.
Further tests on two volumes with over 90 GB purgeable space. One took almost 30 minuted to become available, the other never got there at all. The log reveals who was responsible.
