it turns out the problem is not related to Mechanic2 at all, but to old macOS 10.10 which gets confused when multiple certificates are attached to a domain – this causes Safari and macOS to think that the certificate is invalid (it works in Firefox and Chrome though).
the good news is that you can use an older version of Mechanic (zip link) which is a bit slower but can display extensions from the Extension Store on macOS 10.10.
thanks @frederik for looking into it!

Is there anywhere I might read more about scripts involving Metrics Machine?

The next version of the current extension will have a scripting API. We're going to release it very soon.

That sorta makes sense. I imagine there is some deep logic to figure out here. In the mean time, could the wording perhaps match the group editor and exception dialog?
At the moment it's Side 1 | Side 2 in the group editor, and Kern 1 | Kern 2 in the exception dialog.

Can it be faster?
When I kern a pair of letters, I have a string of words in the preview window to check them in context. For example, if I’m kerning an Upper/Upper list and I’m on J/UC, I'll paste this string into the window:
J JARN ENAJER HEBJORN HOCJERM HODJERN REJOINER FJERNISCHE LAKJERNIS REJOINER KLIPJENNI MARJORAM SJORNE MATJINKO JUNIPER HUJIME HIVJINE HIJVINE HIJWINE HIWJINE HIJYINE HIYJINE HIZJINE HIJZINE
A string this long really slows the extension to a crawl. The old standalone MM app used to handle a string like this. Is there any way to beef up the extension somehow? I’d really appreciate it!
