launchd
The init system and service manager in macOS and iOS systems. It configures and manages daemons and agents through plist files.

`launchctl list` can list tasks managed by launchd, while `~/Library/LaunchAgents` stores user-level startup configurations and `/Library/LaunchDaemons` stores system-level startup tasks.
A launchd job reads Claude Code login information from the Mac keychain every 15 minutes and syncs it to other machines: Windows fetches the credential file directly, and the other Mac receives it via a drop folder.
launchd is macOS's init and service management daemon, equivalent to Linux's systemd, and via plist files it can define tasks that start Exo and Ray workers when invoked.
A daemon is a process that detaches from terminal control and runs in the background for a long time, typically registered and started at system boot via an init system (such as systemd, launchd) or a service manager.
Such cleanup tools achieve their purpose by locating and deleting model files, disabling background launchd daemon processes, and blocking related system service calls.
Persistent execution enables agent systems to handle long-running tasks and resume after interruptions.
