Research direction
Investigate the osascript call in the main script (likely a shell or JS file) and determine if assistive access permission is required. Add a pre check or documentation note in the README explaining how to grant accessibility permissions to Terminal or the app. Review Apple's documentation on assistive access and consider a workaround using AppleScript or alternative methods.
