Detection logic
sequence by host.id with maxspan=30s
[file where host.os.type == "macos" and event.action == "launch_daemon"] by process.entity_id
[process where host.os.type == "macos" and event.type in ("start", "process_started") and process.name == "launchctl" and process.args == "load"] by process.parent.entity_id
