Privacy permissions

Privacy permissions

macOS only lets you grant these. --tags permissions (also the end of --tags aerospace, never part of a full run) opens the right pane, reveals the sketchybar binary in Finder and waits for Enter.

System Settings → Privacy & Security	App	Why
Accessibility	AeroSpace (/Applications/AeroSpace.app)	move and tile windows
Accessibility	sketchybar (/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sketchybar/<version>/bin/sketchybar)	read the Slack / Discord Dock badges
Automation → System Events	sketchybar (asked on first use)	the Dock badges
Automation → Spotify	sketchybar (asked on first use)	play / pause

After brew upgrade sketchybar the Cellar path changes and the Accessibility grant is lost (the badges turn grey): remove the old entry and run --tags permissions again.
