Steps to reproduce
I am regularly greeted with an Apple Crash Report for Obsidian Helper when I start using one specific computer (a new M4 Mac mini) after it has been idle for a while. According to the macOS Console.app, in the last 8 days there have been 18 Obsidian Helper crashes. On February 18th, it happened 5 times in less than an hour. It actually has been going on longer, but Console.app apparently only goes back about a week.
In any case, I am running Obsidian 1.8.6 on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 on a 2024 Mac Mini M4. I am not seeing this problem on a 2021 MacBook Pro that shares the same vaults thanks to Sync. As far as I can recall, it has not happened while I was actually using Obsidian.
The only thing that is distinct between the two computers as far as I can tell is the community plugin for Git is running on the mac mini.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Yes.

See BLfh12Fm on Pastebin for one Obsidian Helper crash report. (FYI, even without the leading HTTPS, if I included the path in the Pastebin URL I was told I could not create a report with a link.)
