Description of issue

I opened a PR (Homebrew/homebrew-core#135198) to add cbonsai to Homebrew, but the CI fails with the following error.

==> brew audit cbonsai --online --new-formula
==> FAILED
Full audit cbonsai --online --new-formula output
  cbonsai
    * Dependency 'ncurses' is provided by macOS; please replace 'depends_on' with 'uses_from_macos'.
  Error: 1 problem in 1 formula detected.

However, I get compile errors when I "replace 'depends_on' with 'uses_from_macos'". That is because cbonsai needs headers not in the ncurses provided by macOS. I can replicate the errors when using 'uses_from_macos' both locally and in Homebrew's CI. So I reverted back to 'depends_on' but the brew audit complained again. Is there a way to bypass this brew audit error?

You need to add cbonsai to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/audit_exceptions/provided_by_macos_depends_on_allowlist.json
