So I'm guessing since we're coming up on the 2 yr anniversary of Tasha's at this point that we're not ever going to get any of the biggest outstanding issues resolved?
Sorcerer spell lists, Genie Wish, Superior Technique giving Superiority die and maneuver, Armorer getting +2 Infused items being tops for my list anyway...
Did I miss an official "we've abandoned this project"?
A sidekick builder also sorta missing + don't think Battlesmith companion get PB bonus

Apply infusions to Artificer Armorer special weapons.
I cannot add Tasha's Hideous Laughter to his spell list, nor can I find a "swap" function to swap out a spell like Arms of Hadar for Tasha's Hideous Laughter

What gives?
Tasha's Hideous Laughter is not a sorcerer spell, so it cannot be added normally.
As for swapping it out per the "Psionic Spells" feature of the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, this is explained in the very first post of this thread:
Aberrant Mind - Psionic Spells. We don't currently have a method to allow swapping these spells out. We are looking at solutions for this. "Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be a divination or an enchantment spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list."

The very first post of the thread is from nearly two years ago. Apparently DNDB takes 24 months to "look at solutions to this".
Anyway, this post from DNDB staff says "SORCERER - Aberrant Mind: Psionic Spells. The additional spells weren't being added to the character sheet correctly. Fixed."

I assumed that's what they meant.
unfortunately, it does often take a looong time (as in several years) to address some of these lingering issues. (See, for example, life cleric, which if I remember correctly took well over 2 years to fix). Among the factors contributing to the glacial speed of fixes like this are: 1) an original system that, in retrospect, is far too rigid 2) the use of an already obsolete or near obsolete framework/base when DDB was first coded; it was, per the devs, all they had to work with at that time: 3) a fairly agressive publishing schedule from WOTC, requiring all hands on deck to work on the next book before fixes on the last one are all addressed; 4) the chaos introduced by two acquisitions since the formation of DDB. All that said, it is extremely frustrating, and I wish the fixes happened more quickly.
i can see how it would be easy to read the fix for additional spells applying to the swap feature. Regrettably that is not the case. If it were, the reference in the first post would be struck out and noted as fixed. (See star map for druid, which I didn’t realize was not fixed until I looked at it today. I wonder when that happened)

I believe it was closer to 4 years.
Very likely. I didn’t want to go back and do the math. I figured “well over two years” covered anything longer than that.
Chaos Bolt's damage mechanics do not work correctly. Per spell description there should be an additional 1d6 damage and an additional 1d6 per each level above 1st.
Having an Issue where I cannot add Arms of Hadar or Dissonant Whispers or Mind Sliver to the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer via Spell list. The Spells simply do not add for some reason. I tried making a homebrew Aberrant mind to fix it. I also tried creating a feat to add the spells. The level 3 spells of calm emotions and detect thoughts appear correctly though.
I own the spells from players handbook and the entirety of Tasha's Cauldron

That post didn't help. I tried a few other things but only making homebrew copies of the spells and modifying the subclass actually fixed the problem. So there is something wrong with the standard spells and how they interact with the subclass.

Can you provide a share link to a character that's demonstrating this problem (if you have spare character slots you can create a copy if you want to make changes in the meant time)?
I've just tried this myself and it worked fine; you don't need to add any of the Aberrant Mind spells, you learn (and prepare) these spells automatically as you gain the appropriate levels, you don't need to add them yourself, they should just appear under Spells on your character sheet. Because of the way additional spells are added to sorcerers they don't appear under Manage Spells under either the Add Spells or Known Spells sections, they just appear directly on the character sheet.

Any chance you can fix the tag issue with the 2nd level spell Enhance Ability? It should include Wizard.
Technically, Tasha's doesn't add the PHB spells like Enhance Ability to the Wizard class spell list - it's on a list of additional spells that someone with the Wizard class can choose from as an optional feature.

You can't choose it without the tag though...
