Noticed that sleep/wake & hibernate were not properly working as the MacBook drained battery as if it was on all night. Opening the lid showed the lock screen as if it was asleep but it wasn't. Worked on this today and it looks like the issue has been patched with the help of Grok.


Will test overnight to confirm it's working properly. If so, I will clean up the scripts and upload them.

Recently fixed bluetooth discovery and pair bonding bug after reboots & shutdown.

Now working on an issue where if WiFi is toggled off and a reboot occurs, it will not be able to be toggled back on and discover networks.

All my fixes will be under a consolidated t2-fix branch that can be merged into a master Mac fix branch down the line.
