Description
Is there any way to use this tool for recovery (2 of 2) if the wallet used a passphrase (as supported by jade wallet since 2021-10-20) with a 12 or 24 word seed?
I don't see a passphrase anywhere mentioned in the docs or source, and the last update was 5 moths ago.
By the mess you made with the passphrase implementation on the jade hardware wallet there will soon be a lot of people needing to recover their passphrases systematically. As explanation: The wallet only requires you to type the passphrase once, this leaves room for typos. Other wallets (like Trezor) especially let you enter the passphrase 2 times - and if they detect an unused wallet give you a warning and even want a third entry of the passphrase.

Research direction
Start by reading the documentation and source to determine how recovery currently handles 12- and 24-word seeds, then compare that flow with the passphrase requirement described for Jade wallets. Confirm the expected behavior for recovering 2-of-2 wallets with a passphrase and document what tests or examples would demonstrate support.
