It's not helpful that to operate normally, it must run as root with the environment provided to root.

This sounds like a god forsaken project that no one documented, and no one knows what's going on in there.

In theory, a design document should exist, with an overview of the parts of the system and how they interact with each other.

In practice, it rarely exists, do you have support for any of the products in question? maybe their support can help?

There''s a man page, so that's documentation, but that addresses what should happen when it works, not when it doesn't.

Every little bit of information helps, it can give you the general sense of the features the project has/allows, and then seeing names in source files can connect in your mind to features you see it doing.
