>When FileVault is enabled, the data volume is locked and unavailable during and after booting

This is incorrect. Macs do only a tiny partial boot before showing the login. The real work is done after the machine is unlocked.

When using OpenCore on a Hackintosh, the unlock login is almost instantly presented after OpenCore completes its part of startup. Only after the unlock does MacOS startup really do anything.

It's awesome that someone has managed to get ssh to do the unlock, but saying the data volume is "locked... after booting" is going too far.
