Research direction
Investigate the daemon boot sequence in the repository, focusing on how bootstrap is currently ordered. Look for the main boot file (likely in cmd/ipfs or core) and identify where bootstrap is called. The goal is to move bootstrap to the end of the boot process. There are no linked PRs or comments, so the implementation is open. Consider potential dependencies that require bootstrap to complete before other services.
