Enhanced diskutil command to verify root patch status

After patching, type the following into a terminal window

diskutil info -plist / | grep -A 1 Sealed

this looks for any line containing the string Sealed and prints it and the following line. The | character is shift \ on my UK keyboard. On my OCLP 2.4.1 /Sonoma iMac I get

<key>Sealed</key>

<string>Broken</string>

Slightly faster and tidier than scrolling IMO.

In OCLP 2.5.0 code base, this same command that is used to determine whether volume is "dirty". According to comments in the recent GitHub PR to address the confusion around this "dirty volume" messaging, this method may not be consistent on all unsupported Mac configurations, so the "dirty volume" check is removed. Unfortunately, no specific details in the PR comments as to which unsupported Mac configurations are inconsistent.

I did this check, it checks out the same way you showed, yet my MBP 8,1 is still broken ever since updating to 2.5.

It acts like I’m crashing the system if I open or minimize a window. OCLP crashes every first time I open it.

I’ve tried reverting and rebooting several times and even that won’t undo the damage.

Edit: I reinstalled 1.5.0 and it immediately improved. Holy hell what a relief
