Parent article: Home Assistant deprecates the "core" and "supervised" installation modes
> Actually *running* HA in Supervised mode will continue to work because they (and we) need that mode for development and testing. It'll just not be end-user-supported by them. After all, you can't rebuild a Docker image or re-provide+-boot your appliance every time you fix a typo, that'd take much too long.
The way the HA environment is set up, you can create "patches" in the `config/custom_components` folder, the Python file loader looks there first. So you can replicate the directory structure of the affected package and patch individual files. Once you're done, you can do a full-blown build.
And even for the core development, you don't need the full Supervised mode. Just clone the repo and install dependencies for the core and the parts that you want to change.
