Research Apple Kernel Boot and Firmware

About this skill

Inventory and correlate exact-build Apple kernel, kernel collection, KDK, panic, boot-chain, device-tree, IPSW, restore-image, LocalPolicy, SSV, AuxKC, personalization, and firmware artifacts. Use when Codex must compare public XNU or dyld source with shipping binaries, match KDK symbols and UUIDs, distinguish Mac restore from iPhone or iPad firmware, map Apple Silicon boot evidence, or preserve coprocessor and firmware payload metadata without assuming undocumented payload behavior.
