Good. That goal has been accomplished.

That makes sense. The start of enforcement is based on teh release that's targeted - not the release that's being used.

Do you have a Linux system to see if brltty recognizes it there?

What are the vendor and product identifiers of the Mantis?

I'm still wondering if you might need an OTG cable. Maybe not - and even theoretically not - but, when things don't work as expected, I wonder everything.
