System Diagnostics makes changes to the system #1

When I ran the diagnostic I was expecting for the tool just to check my compatibility with the tweak and report to me what changes were needed to make it work.

However, the utility made me reboot my system and changing some settings (boot-args, I suppose). This change made my graphic switch glitch an I ended up needing t do a NVRAM reset to solve the issue.

I'm running Yosemite on a MacBookPro6,2.

Thanks for the report. There are two issues mentioned in your post.
1: the diagnostic indeed does system changes. It modifies the boot-args right before prompting for reboot. This is an issue as the diagnostic is not expected to initiate system changes, even if this saves time. I'll provide a fix shortly.
2: A fix was provided in v.1.0.1 which prevents overwriting any existing boot-args. This might fix the NVRAM issue you reported. Please let me know if you get a chance to test it again.

Screenshoot

V1.0.2 now lets me cancel before it makes any changes. I guess bug #1 is officially fixed!

I'm afraid I haven't fixed this yet. Running diagnostics in v1.0.2 still enables kext-dev-mode in the boot-args (although without changing any other nvram settings, unlike v1.0.0), even when hitting ctrl-c. The patch is in the pipeline for the next release.
