every faction has somehow gained the ability to automatically ID my fleet regardless of the transponder.

Prior to making some advancement in the main storyline, this was not happening. Only now that I've finished (I think) with the Gates and gone back to doing occasional station raids, I'm seeing that all of the factions instantly know it's me. I went ahead with combat despite the warning to see if it was a false positive, but it wasn't, and they all end up going completely hostile immediately afterward as if i had turned on my transponder.

I have no idea what caused this except that it has to be something in the main storyline.

It does indeed have to do with the storyline. Story spoilers ahead

Fleets will immediately recognize you no matter the status of your transponder if you got the Ziggurat in your fleet. It supposedly has to do with the Motes it disperses even outside combat that show through your fleet's drive bubble (effectively meaning it does not matter if it's a phase ships if it leaves traces of itself over your whole fleet signature) and are unique across the entire sector, effectively making your fleet fly around with a big "Hello, it's me ya boi" over it.

Thanks for the explanation; can it be "laundered" via selling and rebuying it from a port so it would look like it changed hands, or is the IDing absolute

[SafariJohn]

IDing is absolute.

[Midnight Kitsune]

IDing is absolute.

Unless of course you use console commands and this code

Spoiler

Code

runcode for (FleetMemberAPI member : Global.getSector().getPlayerFleet().getFleetData().getMembersListCopy()) {
  if (member.getVariant().hasTag("ship_unique_signature")) {
    member.getVariant().removeTag("ship_unique_signature");
  }
}
