Hi,
to use the new releases of openpg version you don't need the commissioner tool - since the new builds have their own usbid (vendor/product).
To use them with linux pcsclite/pcscd/ccid you need (at least of end of Feb 2026)

add device description/usb id to Info.plist (part of ccid):

add vendor id to ifdVendorID array : 0x2e8a
add product id to ifdProductID array: 0x10ff
add name to ifdFriendlyName array: Pol Henarejos Pico Key

Since the entries must be in the same places in the array it's easiest to enter them on the first or last place of the arrays…

enable access for pcscd to the device - usually via udev - look for udev rules in the ccid package

in case of arch the line can look like:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2e8a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="10ff", MODE="660", GROUP="pcscd"

now pcscd shroud see the device and oct/gpg will show it on the list/card status

Git of ccid already has pico-keys files, so they probably be in the next release
