Hey @taf2, thanks for reporting. This looks like a duplicate of #4620, which we are tracking.
Apologies; it looks like you are using RVM and not Homebrew like the issue in #4620. Reopening.
I still think the root issue is preventing /bin/ps e.g. read only tools... or maybe have a mode where read only tools is allowed as a way of elevating permissions. like /bin/ls etc... should* be okay at some permissions level...
I see this on every command execution as well:
~/.rvm/scripts/rvm:29: operation not permitted: ps
