(Note: battery discharge 80 works but then the battery charges back up to 100%.

This happens after the update overwrote my old smc binary (which is properly signed)

[sclsj]

The reason is that the smc binary is not signed properly:

My old smc binary is from here: https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl/releases/tag/2.6. That one is properly signed with Developer ID.
