Not check, but all this broke user UX, like you installing bad program or kind of virus software.

@Dixon3 This won’t happen if you build it Unix way, not as a bundle, and run from the terminal.

P. S. I mean, I understand that this situation is annoying, but it is Apple doing this.

It's a standard MacOS thing. I suggest closing this issue as the title is misleading.

Suggestion: what about adding an instruction (e.g. link to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255118639?sortBy=rank or https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/fixing-macos-cannot-verify-app-free-malware/) to the brew formulae (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/fa03b44f9de500fb7aed52dfa1c7c2204ec717e1/Casks/f/far2l.rb) ?
