Liam O’ConnorThe bluetoothd and airplayd daemons aggressively renegotiate IOBluetoothHostController ACL links and AirPlayReceiver Bonjour advertisements on wake, which can starve the kernel_task workloop if the dock’s USB hub enumerates the Bluetooth controller on a shared PCIe lane with the TBT NHI. Update AirPods firmware by placing them in the case, opening the lid near the Mac, and verifying system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType | grep -A 10 "Firmware Version" shows the latest 6F7/6F8 build; simultaneously disable “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices” in General > AirDrop & Handoff to quiesce bluetoothaudiod resume traffic. For HomeKit, purge the local HomeKitAccessoryDeveloper keychain items (security delete-generic-password -s "com.apple.homekit") and toggle the Home Hub setting off/on in Home.app to force a fresh hap pairing database sync, eliminating mDNS storm contributions to the wake latency budget.
