Research direction
Start with the linked macOS autostart instructions and verify the referenced /etc/macos-launchd/syncthing.plist path against the Homebrew setup on macOS 14.7.3. Update the instructions to use the correct existing path or setup, then check that the documented steps are consistent.

Description
What happened?
I previously had a working syncthing autostart setup, installed with Homebrew, and now it doesn't start up, and I'm trying to fix it. The instructions for starting Syncthing automatically on MacOS instruct the user to replace text in /etc/macos-launchd/syncthing.plist, but this file doesn't exist for me.
