I have been running into the same issue since the first release.

The previous solution to this was to just tell windows defender that KSA is safe to run.

However, the thing causing windows to think that KSA might now be safe should have been fixed / improved with Version 2026.5.10.4424 yesterday.

Please try downloading the newest version from https://ahwoo.com/app/100000/kitten-space-agency and please try if the error still persists.
