At some point, the syntax of mdls changed. -attr used to be spelled -name. If you pass -attr, it prints usage text but does not return an error code so the game simply fails to take any input.
It's hard to tell when they added -attr because the man page still says -name (unless they finally changed it on Sonoma?). I asked a friend with Ventura and his still says -name in the man page but -attr also works. I guess the question is whether -name is still supported on Sonoma.
