Both Thunderbolt loops reconciled or rescanned every 2 s even on machines with
no controller: on an idle M2 Max that was about 1,590 process launches a
minute. While nothing is connected or boot-protected and no controller is
present, the daemon now reconciles every 10 s, inside a snapshot's 20 s
lifetime, and returns to every tick as soon as a controller, a policy change
or a boot recovery checkpoint appears. The watcher skips an unchanged, fresh,
device-free snapshot, and both loops wait without forking sleep.
