Privileged helper daemon for host mutations (routes, DNS, sockets)

//! launchd socket activation via `launch_activate_socket`.
//!
//! When the helper is registered as a LaunchDaemon with a `Sockets`
//! configuration, launchd pre-creates the Unix socket and passes the
//! file descriptor to the process on start. This avoids the helper
//! needing to manage socket lifecycle or permissions.
