Heads up, a new build of 15.7.2 is available, takes 15.7.2 from 24G313 to 24G317. According to the sys updater content window it contains security fixes. Seems to be installing OK using OTA on an rMBP10,1 2012 (unsupported) and a min8,1 2018 (supported).
I spoke too soon. While the supported min8,1 update went well, the unsupported rMBP10,1 came up with the older version 24G313 still installed. So I'll wait until it's available for manual download via the OCLP 'Create Installer' function.
Since you have a supported, and unsupported Mac, you may be a good one to ask about a problem I've had in Messages after upgrading to Sequoia. From Monterey, to Sonoma, whenever I would get a code in SMS for 2FA, it would be underlined, and I could right click and select "copy code". That is gone under Sequoia, and checking the Apple Support community seems to be a mixed bag where some still have it, and for others it's gone. Is there a way to get it back in Sequoia? It's not a big deal, as I can just double click the code to select it and copy, but if I can get the shortcut back, it would be nice.
With the delay or possible impossibility of Tahoe becoming workable via OCLP - I've tried using Google Gemini to find a way to stop getting reports/badges about Tahoe - but to get them for updates to Sequoia or the current installed OS. Unless Gemini missed some readily available options then my 3 hours on the topic indicates that it can't be done.
The further context here is that the badge showing 1. for updates in system settings won't change when updates for the currently installed OS are available; so only manual checks will reveal when updates are available.

Replying to MacinMan, I have not seen (or maybe just not noticed) that problem here but I'm more often using the supported mini these days. I'm keeping the rMBP10,1 up to date purely for standby purposes and general curiosity.

OK, according to what I gathered reading on the Apple support communities, it was happening with supported Macs too.
They usually don't like open core talk over there, so most people reporting problems I've asked about are using a supported mac of some kind.
Update later: I got the OTA update to work successfully by selecting the 'Update Tonight' option, letting it finish download- & prep normally, then selecting 'Update Now'. Successfully updated the rMBP10,1 from 15.7.2 (24G313) to build 24G317, on first login OCLP 2.4.1 prompted to reinstall patches as expected.
Same here OTA update to 24G317 done without any interruptions. Patched using 2.4.1.
