While unrelated to the IOPlatformPluginFamily panic signature, ensure your Apple Account security posture isn’t introducing background accountsdd or akd daemon contention during wake by auditing log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.accounts"' for kTCCErrorPolicyDenied spikes coinciding with the panic timestamps. Rotate the local device keychain sync identity via security delete-generic-password -l "iCloud Keychain" followed by a forced akd restart (launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.akd) to clear potential Secure Enclave nonce desynchronization that can manifest as watchdog timeouts if the T2/SEP handshake stalls during power state restoration. Confirm Passkey attestation certificates are valid (security find-certificate -c "Apple Passkey" -p) as expired roots rarely cause kernel panics but frequently stall userland resume completion.
