You’re referencing an argument I never made. I have no problem with the author’s post, I was very specifically complaining about Opus’ barely coherent style of prose.

You were specifically complaining about Opus’ nauseating style of prose, by calling out a sentence by the author you didn’t immediately comprehend?

Except that you're wrong. The referenced sentence is in a quote block, written by Opus.

You're not alone.

My guess is that both interfaces where claimed (by a driver) already, so it's impossible to bypass (hence "back doors"), as the goal was to send commands directly to the hardware.

But it's hard to derive that conclusion from context alone, the style is so fucking annoying to read.

Didn't know macOS is this "literally 1984", it's a bit wild. It got me to apply some slop of my own. Supposedly there's some new provisioning scheme that'd allow the author to not have to disable SIP: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/provisioning-profil...

Didn't know about this, thank you. I'll look into it.

Let me know if it worked out in the end, would be cool if it did.

It totally did work! I updated the apps and the docs (and the blog post) to reflect this. It is pretty self-involved and requires an active Apple Developer subscription – but it does get everything running without disabling SIP.

Thanks again for the tip ;).

Oh neat, cheers. Credit to GPT 5.6 Sol for actually unearthing this on my behalf, too. :)
