TODO

Things left todo before the rewrite is considered finished

• Proper entitlement handling
  • actually parse macho files and stuff, right now it just uses the bare minimum and applies extra entitlements for livecontainer
• Reduce duplicate dependencies
  • partially just need to wait for the rust crypto ecosystem to get through another release cycle
• More parallelism and caching for better performance
