Research direction
Investigate the VirtualSMC kext (https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC) to understand how it interacts with battery management tools. Review the AlDente codebase, particularly any hardware or kext communication modules, to determine if integration is feasible. Since the issue has no maintainer response, clarifying the desired behavior and acceptance criteria is necessary before any implementation.
