Hi,

I was wondering why the LuLu extension needs this entitlement?

<key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write</key>
	<array>
		<string>/private/var/db/mds/</string>
	</array>

It seems like it was introduced in 28a678f and 9f2d022 as a workaround for a bug in macOS 10.
This bug was fixed in macOS 11 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/128467). With official support for macOS 11 and 12 ended, maybe this entitlement can now be removed again?

Good point/info!
...for now, since LuLu still supports macOS 10.15+, it's still needed.
