Keep FileVault enabled for data security, but arrange preboot-compatible network access independent of Tailscale on the locked Mac: direct local-network SSH from a client (for example phone on home Wi-Fi), or an independently running VPN/subnet router on a router/NAS/Linux host to reach the Mac's LAN IP when remote. Ensure Remote Login and network requirements, preserve recovery key and tested backups, and do a controlled power-cycle/reboot test before relying on the method. Do not expose preboot SSH directly to the public Internet. For post-unlock unattended work, handle macOS user login and agent process startup separately; preboot unlock does not guarantee GUI login or restoration of user-session VPN. This is a documentation-backed design, not a deployment acceptance result.
