Utilizing diskutil record the (free area) is proven, however with no identifier:

Learn how to I get my disk area again?

I’ve restarted twice, run first help with no points and browse 10+ questions relation to lacking partitions after eradicating Boot Camp, with and with out solutions and non of them appear to adress this precise scenario with no identifier for the free area.

This query appears to be related, however I’ve no WINDOWS RECOVERY partition in listed in diskutil, which the accepted reply revolves round.

The KRYPTONITE partition must be preserved, so my EGPU is supported in MacOS.

My reminiscence is muddy, however I consider the KRYPTONITE partition was created after the (now deleted) BOOTCAMP partition. If that is of any significance.

I am working MacOS Monterey 12.6.5.
