Unclear The finding does not say what behavior this check actually gates, such as whether it blocks startup or changes some other decision.

What

The background daemon's startup logic, which decides on write-permission and consumer checks, now includes an additional condition: whether the process is running as a macOS "service" and has one or more active snapshot consumers, checked via snapshotConsumerCount().

Why

This lets the daemon account for macOS service-mode snapshot consumers specifically when deciding how to start up, avoiding conflicts that a plain write-permission check wouldn't catch in that mode.
