Previously, we relied on the `shutdown()` function to terminate `accept()` calls on a listening socket. However, this approach did not work on macOS as the waiting `accept()` call is not considered a connected socket, resulting in an `ENOTCONN` error. Instead, we now close the listening socket to terminate the `accept()` call. Additionally, we fixed a resource management issue where we set the `daemonSocket` variable to -1, triggering resource cleanup and causing the `stopDaemon` function to be called twice. This resulted in errors as the socket was already closed by the time the second `stopDaemon` call was made. Instead of setting `daemonSocket` to -1, we now release the socket using the `release()` method on a unique pointer. This properly transfers ownership and allows for correct resource cleanup. These changes ensure proper behavior and resource management for the recursive-nix feature on macOS.
