AppleCameraAssistant flooding log files

- Mac mini M1, Ventura 13.2 - device without a camera

- "AppleCameraAssistant" is meant to be a long-running background process, started at boot time

- Once per second, "AppleCameraAssistant" crashes and floods launchd.log with messages

- launchd is programmed to restart "AppleCameraAssistant" every second

- Need some help, please, to either

- stop "AppleCameraAssistant" from crashing

- remove "AppleCameraAssistant" altogether

- at least stop launchd from flooding the log

"AppleCameraAssistant" is part of the sealed system and canot be modified

- SIP prohibits to disable / unload it through launchctl

- SSV prohibits changes to the plist file

- have not found a way to stop launchd from logging
