Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported inability to add or activate yabai under Tahoe 26.1, including the manual attempt from /opt. The issue names no source file or test, so first identify the code path handling macOS accessibility permissions and establish a reproducible result; done means the permission can be activated or the limitation and workaround are documented.
