Making me dig here a bit! 😁 We don't put a launch daemon or launch agent plist on the system, as that's not sandbox safe. ServiceManager and LaunchServices are responsible for deciding which one we try to launch. We provide a bundle identifier of the process we'd like to launch on startup, and LaunchServices and ServiceManager take care of the rest. If multiple copies of 1Password.app exist on the system, then the extension helper launched by LaunchServices can no longer be guaranteed to be the same extension helper that's in the current copy of 1Password.app in /Applications.

Let me know if that makes sense!
