Create launchd plists with PlistBuddy instead of `defaults write`. defaults hands the write to cfprefsd, which adds a com.apple.quarantine extended attribute to every file it creates. Starting with macOS 27 beta 3, launchd refuses to load quarantined property list files. - Remove existing plists before recreation so upgrades clear stale quarantine attributes from previous installs - Add SpawnConstraint (macOS 14+) so launchd only spawns binaries signed with the Root3 Team ID, preventing orphaned plists from launching a substituted binary - Strip com.apple.quarantine as an extra safeguard
