> For example: did you know there's no way to run a system upgrade (like to 26.2) via SSH I did not know this. I thought the `softwareupdate` command was built for this use case, and thought it worked over ssh. It sure looks like it should work, but I don’t have a mac I can try it on right now.

He's wrong, it's possible. It's just that root privileges alone is insufficient due to how the signing on LocalPolicy works on M series Macs https://support.apple.com/guide/security/contents-a-localpolicy-file-mac-apple-silicon-secc745a0845/1/web/1#secb7cb6686c https://support.apple.com/guide/security/contents-a-localpol... The manpage for the command provides information on credential usage on Apple Silicon devices.
