+/// macOS runtime capture adapter using dyld interposition or dtrace to trace dylib loads.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// This adapter can use:
+/// - DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES for interposition (per-process, no root)
+/// - dtrace for system-wide tracing (requires root/SIP disabled)
+///
+/// Requires:
+/// - macOS 10.5+ for DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
+/// - SIP disabled or dtrace entitlement for dtrace
+///
+/// In sandbox mode, uses mock events instead of actual tracing.
