st: RD with covariates: With Frisch-Waugh Theorem? What are the SEs?

Dear Statalist members,
I would like to implement a Regression Discontinuity Design in which I
control for additional covariates so as to reduce the amount of noise.
And I need to know the SEs of my estimate.
Imbens-Kalyanaraman's -rdob- does not give me SEs once I add
covariates, and Austin Nichol's -rd- does not seem to allow for
covariates.
So I'm wondering whether, following the Frisch-Waugh Theorem, I can
just first -reg- outcome and forcing variable on my set of additional
covariates, and then just do the -rd- or -rdob-using the residuals of
the two regressions? But will I then automatically get the correct
SEs, or do I need to make some adjustment?
Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
JZ
