Great job, confirmed also by @Alpha22

In Sonoma and newer works fine too.

It's difficult for me to check the differences, can you show me the changes made by you to the project? I want to understand the code, learning new things. Thanks.

[Max.1974]

Yes my friend, I asked Claude to make the annotations in the Claude.MD and Releases-changelog.md files, and he detailed the changes. 

The code is in zip project for you

@Max.1974

I think that I'm finding the main code diffs.

In the HCStartupDisk.swift file, var StartupDisk block has changed, plus minor changes in data collection. Copilot has done a good work. Thanks again. I'm preparing the repo and the releases.

[Max.1974]

Thanks my friend, working on Tahoe in Dual Boot too
