Below is the English translation of the provided text about the WhateverGreen repository, specifically tailored for macOS Tahoe. The original text is in Chinese, and I've translated it clearly and concisely while preserving technical accuracy. I've also simplified the "one-liner for beginners" and organized the detailed explanation for clarity.

WhateverGreen

A branch of WhateverGreen for macOS Tahoe.

One-Liner for Beginners
To fix booting issues in macOS Tahoe (or later) installers and recovery mode, add this boot argument:

wegdetectmode=norec

Additional Boot Arguments
Below is a detailed explanation. If it's too technical, just use the one-liner above.

1. wegdetectmode=ignore
   Purpose: Forces WhateverGreen to load, ignoring base system detection.
   Use Case:

   # Loads WhateverGreen even in recovery mode or base system
   wegdetectmode=ignore
   

   Behavior:

   • Initializes even if a base system (bootbase.efi) is detected.
   • Overrides the norec mode.
   • Log output: "WhateverGreen: wegdetectmode=ignore detected"

2. wegdetectmode=force
   Purpose: Skips initialization if system information is missing.
   Use Case:

   # Prevents loading WhateverGreen in abnormal boot environments
   wegdetectmode=force
   

   Behavior:

   • Skips initialization if the /chosen IORegistry node is missing.
   • Skips initialization if the booter-name property is not found.
   • Log output: "WhateverGreen: wegdetectmode=force detected"

3. wegdetectmode=norec
   Purpose: Prevents WhateverGreen from loading in recovery mode on macOS Tahoe or later.
   Use Case:

   # Stops WhateverGreen from loading in recovery mode
   wegdetectmode=norec
   

   Behavior:

   • Only applies to macOS Tahoe or newer (based on kernel version check).
   • Skips initialization in base system (recovery mode).
   • Mutually exclusive with ignore mode (ignore takes priority).
   • Log output: "WhateverGreen: wegdetectmode=norec detected"

Combining Boot Arguments
Examples:

# Scenario 1: Force mode + prevent recovery mode
wegdetectmode=force,norec

# Scenario 2: Ignore detection + force mode
wegdetectmode=ignore,force

# Scenario 3: Only prevent recovery mode
wegdetectmode=norec

Priority Rules

1. ignore > norec (ignore mode takes precedence).
2. force acts independently (affects error handling).
3. Combine parameters with commas.

Detection Logic Flow
Boot Process Decision Matrix

Detection Result	Ignore Mode	NoRec Mode	Force Mode	Outcome
Base System	Enabled	Enabled	Any	Continue initialization
Base System	Disabled	Enabled	Any	Skip initialization
Base System	Enabled	Disabled	Any	Continue initialization
Base System	Disabled	Disabled	Any	Continue initialization
Normal System	Any	Any	Any	Continue initialization
No /chosen Node	Any	Any	Enabled	Skip initialization
No /chosen Node	Any	Any	Disabled	Continue initialization
No booter-name	Any	Any	Enabled	Skip initialization
No booter-name	Any	Any	Disabled	Continue initialization

Log Output Examples
Informational Logs:

WhateverGreen: wegdetectmode=ignore detected
WhateverGreen: /chosen not found
WhateverGreen: booter-name: 'boot.efi' (length: 8)
WhateverGreen: Normal System detected

Decision Logs:

WhateverGreen: Skipping due to Base System + noRecMode
WhateverGreen: force mode enabled, skipping

Applicable System Versions
Tahoe Kernel Version Requirements

• norec mode only works on:
  • macOS Tahoe or newer.
  • Kernel version check: getKernelVersion() >= KernelVersion::Tahoe.

Compatibility

• ignore and force modes work on all macOS versions.
• norec mode is ignored on versions older than Tahoe.
