daemon stuck in loop between running and stopped, eventually not running

[pakyrs]

I am on latest Sonoma and M1 chip, the service is fine using syncthing from brew (non cask) but loops infinitely on syncthing-macos (cask install). Is there any fix I am missing?

The brew install of the normal syncthing binary has obviously been removed, and machine restarted if that even matter.

Thanks

What does /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Syncthing/syncthing.log say ?
