BUG: Yabai unresponsive on MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1

[Adag96]

Error: Formula yabai has not implemented #plist, #service or installed a locatable service file

There is no known trigger or repro steps here, it just happens randomly as I'm working on my sketchybar configuration.

This only happens on one of my apple computers, not the other. Maybe it's system specific.

Adding more info here, as this is getting annoying. Also revised the title of this issue.

Info:

• The service appears to be running (based on process list) but not functioning
• I am running Yabai v7.1.10
• I have encountered this issue twice on my 2022 Mac Studio (M1 Max) running Sequoia 15.3.1
• I do not encounter this issue on my 2020 MacBook Pro (M1) running Sonoma 14.4.1

What I've tried:

• Uninstalling, removing and reinstalling yabai
• Attempted to partially disable SIP in Recovery Mode with csrutil enable --without debug --without fs (didn't work properly)
• Tried unloading and reloading Yabai's launch agent with launchctl

update to the newest version of yabai
run with yabai --start-service instead of brew services start yabai which was removed years ago

I’ve been using those commands and I’m in the latest version of yabai. I accidentally wrote 7.1.0 in the comment, what I meant was 7.1.10, this is what’s installed.

You have somewhere an error. Try to debug it with yabai -m config debug_output on at the beginning of your .yabairc
Logs are here /tmp/yabai_User.err.log and /tmp/yabai_User.out.log
And install carefully each step as described in the documentation.
