fix(lume): handle macOS 26 authorized-user prompt in SIP automation#2203
Merged
Conversation
On macOS 26 (Tahoe), `csrutil disable`/`enable` in Recovery first prompts
for an authorized administrator username ("authorized user:") before asking
for the password, instead of going straight to "enter password for user
<admin>:". The SIP automation only matched the legacy password prompt, so on
macOS 26 guests it answered the [y/n] confirmation and then timed out waiting
for a password prompt that never appeared in that form.
Match both prompt styles: after the [y/n] confirmation, wait for either the
legacy password prompt or the new "authorized user" username prompt; when the
username prompt appears, type the admin user, then wait for the password
prompt before entering the password. Adds 06-account-prompt / 06b-password-prompt
screenshots for debugging.
