How to prevent mac book from booting when power cable is plugged in or the display is opened?

Hello everyone,

I´d like to know, how to prevent my macbook air m1 from booting, when I plug in the power cable or when I open the lid.

Is there a setting somewhere that I just don´t see? Or can I manipulate that behavior via terminal commands?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1

This is considered a feature—no override.
