Under the hood
Daemon startup on macOS now checks for active snapshot consumers when running as a service
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.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not say what behavior this check actually gates, such as whether it blocks startup or changes some other decision.
