**Untested Issues**
One known issue is that alarms may not sound when your display has been asleep for an extended period (FB10086690). A temporary workaround is to adjust your display settings in Settings > Lock Screen to prevent the display from falling asleep, although you can still lower the brightness. **Additional Notes**
This is a DEVELOPER BETA, intended for installation on a secondary device or volume. It is not suitable for everyday use, as some applications may not function correctly.

Memory management can be problematic across all operating systems, not just Apple’s. If you suspect a memory leak, please restart your device via the Apple Menu. When a new macOS release occurs, all issues automatically shift to “Untested Issues” until reviewed. Any issue remaining in an untested state for three releases will be removed from future threads.
