Sticky without SIP?

[AlJohri]

in macOS, I can manually set a window as "sticky" by assigning it to all desktops.

This appears to work properly, except that yabai only registers the window as attached to a single space, and thus the automatic window management no longer works properly.

To mimic sticky-ness, I have marked the window as unmanaged, increased the left_padding by 400 and manually put the window on the left panel so it always shows up there.

yabai -m rule --add app="^Obsidian$" layer=above manage=off
yabai -m config left_padding    400

However, I was wondering if there's a way to more natively support this within yabai? As I understand it, the scripting addition would enable automatically clicking "Assign To" -> "All Desktops". If there was a way that I could tell yabai that I have done this manually, then I would not need to disable SIP and could still use the sticky window?

You can use this function to achieve the same as clicking "Assign to: All Desktops": https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/blob/master/src/misc/extern.h#L50C1-L50C64
This version does not require SIP to be disabled, however it will then apply to all windows of that application.

The one currently in use in yabai requires SIP to be disabled, but applies to specific windows, and not globally to the application.
