stop: %s (%w)

Error message

stop: %s (%w)

What it means

launchdManager.Stop tries bootout on every known launchd target (GUI, headless, per-label) and wraps the last failure with its output when none succeeded — the job could not be unloaded from any domain.

Solutions

1. Use launchctl print on the target to see the job's state
2. Check for a crash-looping job launchd refuses to bootout
