System daemon — manages process lifecycle and iCloud data synchronization
Manages process state and lifecycle through RunningBoard queries, controlling how applications start, run, and terminate. Syncs data with iCloud infrastructure over the network while maintaining security through Keychain and certificate validation. Collects diagnostic telemetry and submits it to Apple's analytics pipeline. Communicates with other system components via 3 XPC services and directly accesses hardware/drivers for low-level operations. Enforces code signing and security policies through the Security framework.AI
