Trace mode will work better if I turn SIP off, correct? But if I do, will things succeed that should fail? Or should I worry about that later, since they'll get tested on the build bot and CI? Trace mode fails to work on macOS 13 and later on Apple Silicon processors. A solution has been suggested here: #66358 (sip-workaround / trace mode no longer works on arm64 macOS ≥ 13 due to new security features) trac.macports.org Trace mode works fine on all macOS versions on Intel processors.  I don't know the consequences of turning off SIP. It's not recommended but probably fine in your case if you want to try it? I'm not sure why it would help though.
