Reply To: Diagnostic query: Unexpected kernel panic on macOS Sequoia 15.1 after waking (1794676869)

APFS Snapshot / mds Indexing Contention on Wake: While APFS snapshot metadata stalls (com.apple.apfs.fsck or backupd) rarely trigger IOPlatformPluginFamily panics directly, a concurrent mds/mdworker storm indexing a mounted Time Machine snapshot volume during the AppleThunderboltNHI re-enumeration window can starve the power management workloop. Run sudo log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "AppleThunderboltNHI" or eventMessage contains "IOPlatformPlugin"' --last 24h --style syslog to correlate the panic timestamp with mds CPU spikes; exclude backup volumes from Spotlight (mdutil -i off /Volumes/Backup) and validate snapshot integrity via tmutil verifychecksums /path/to/snapshot.
