Cannot Patch because of software updates pending, but only macOS Tahoe is available for software updates

Hi everyone, I have a unique situation which I have not encountered before - I have 2015, 15 inch MacBook Pro that can't run the patching because of the sanity check claiming there is a pending software update that I must do first.

Whenever I do apply available software updates, I apply all of them except for macOS Tahoe. I need this device to stay on macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 for OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

I have not found a way to solve this issue and run the root patches yet, so right now it's just remaining unpatched and crashing when it gets to the desktop each time.

But I imagine to work around this, maybe it would involve some method of ignoring macOS Tahoe updates through terminal commands or applying a profile? or the nightly beta of OCLP or something?

If you have any thoughts on how to apply the root patching here, please let me know!
