Not a bug but probably significant enough to post here.
The colony event Diktat fuel raid satbombing event, the fleets aren't hostile until they've all gathered in the system, this seems to be unusual because it seems all other "hostile intent" expeditionary fleets and events are hostile upon spawning.

Thank you for the report! This is actually the standard/expected behavior here; they're after your colonies, not your fleet specifically. A bunch of the colony crises related fleet groups work the same way, e.g. the Tactistar mercenaries.

True, but it's annoying to see your colony patrols ignore the ever growing pile of taskforces until they say "Ok! we're ready! Now we are hostile and here to satbomb you!"
Thankfully this is a oneoff event.

Hmm - by the time your patrols would see them, they'd be in your system and hostile, no? Or do you just mean the occasional in-hyper patrol your colonies will send? Though if you fight near it, it should I believe join on your side regardless of whether they've turned hostile or not.

It was the "massive satbomb raid" event consisting of 9 fleets, and I watched them sit there for a solid minute on fast game speed orbiting the jump point with their status being "friendly", then the notification that "satbomb fleet has arrived", then they all go hostile and then the colony patrols start attacking them.

Ah, ok, that makes sense, thank you for elaborating - I can see what you mean now.
