Description
Skhd stop working in my OS.
I've been countless hours trying to solve it because skhd makes me much more productive, and I couldn't.
**Clarification**: I disabled security integrity protection, I disabled secure keyboard entry, I rebooted my pc
**My first error is**:
`skhd: successfully created pid-file.`
- skhd is not running twice and I have writing permissions: as recommended in #74 and #243
- This file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew..skhd.plist is the same as recommended here #126
**Codesigning**
- I proceded with the codesign as @koekeishiya recommends in #253 with this [link](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Installing-yabai-(from-HEAD))
- My steps:
1. `brew uninstall koekeishiya/formulae/skhd`
2. I eliminated skhd from settings>privacy and security> accessibility
3. Reboot
4. `brew install koekeishiya/formulae/skhd --HEAD`
5. Codesign (the actual directory and not the symlink)
6. [Configure scripting](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Installing-yabai-(from-HEAD)#configure-scripting-addition)
7. skhd --start-service
8. I authorize access in settings>privacy and security> accessibility
- I get this error:
`skhd: successfully created pid-file..
skhd: must be run with accessibility access! abort..`
- So, it creates the pid-file but it doesn't enable the access of skhd (even though my box is checked in accessibility!)
- any ideas about how can I solve this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure on macOS Ventura 13.4 with `skhd --start-service`, then inspect the generated `~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew..skhd.plist` and the accessibility-permission and codesigning steps described here. Done means skhd starts without the accessibility-access abort and hotkeys work after authorization.
